the most important things i learned doing a phd

(not complete or structured)

not only that it isn't enough to love someone
but that sometimes there are things you need that someone who loves you cannot give you

when you are not sure sometimes it is better to choose something and just keep moving

home is a state of mind

rewards are not in proportion to effort - sometimes there is no relation

balance between work and play is vital
as is between body and mind

procrastination and fear of insufficiency are often related
