How to cope with your postgraduate career

Perhaps after reading this undergraduate course, most people only have the moral, emotional, and cognitive abilities they should have; but to cultivate their own rationality and logic, learning ability, more powerful independent thinking ability, creativity and imagination, and so on, we must start from now on. Graduate students do not even have a work report, which is common. But it should be trained from now on! Don't wait until I graduate to ask myself: Do I try to do it? Maybe you should be awake at the beginning.

What abilities should we cultivate for graduate students?

A careers in science and technology: a student planning guide to grad school and beyond (http://www.nap.edu/openbook.php? Record_id = 5129). The 133rd and 134 pages in the record_id = talk about the abilities that graduate students should cultivate.

Skills and attributes that contribute to a successful career as a scientist, engineer, scholar, or professional

Intellectual Skills(Intellectual skills ?)

1. Honesty (honest)
2. Curiosity (curious)
3. Discrimination-ability to distinguish what is important from what is trivial (identify priorities !)
4. imagination and creativity (cultivate your imagination and creativity !)
5. Common sense (rational judgment on environmental conditions and facts !)
6. Objectivity (objective and rational treatment of problems! Reduce the loss caused by subjective disconnections !)
7. Intuition (intuitive judgment of objective facts, pains, and happiness !)
8. Skill in observation of natural, technical, or social phenomena (feeling and insight into nature, science and technology, and social life !)
9. Systematic problem-solving (ability to handle problems in a systematic and systematic manner !)
10. A good memory (think more to reduce the possibility of early future Alzheimer's disease !)
11. Capacity for logical reasoning, including abstract and theoretical reasoning .)
12. Capacity to draw logical inferences from observational and experimental data (ability to derive essential problems from surface phenomena! It is important in both life and work .)
13. Ability to conceive an explanatory hypothesis and design critical tests to evaluate it (to make a comprehensive and reasonable assumption of the actual problem, and then design a solution to solve it !)

Communication skills
1. Capacity to retrieve information from published sources (information extraction capability !)
2. Skill in learning by interview methods (the ability to learn by talking to each other! This is the ability to receive information !)
3. Capacity to communicate in writing (expressive ability in writing !)
4. Capacity to communicate orally (verbal communication skills !)
5. Skill in use of computers and other information-processing devices
6. Skill in graphic display of information and ideas (will express your thoughts with the picture! This is the most direct and vivid expression. We should try to cultivate it !)

Personality Characteristics
1. Maturity (Maturity of personality, outlook on life and values !)
2. Motivation and drive (learn to motivate yourself !)
3. Self-confidence (be absolutely confident !)
4. Dependability (trustworthy! Communication can take effect !)
5. Independence (absolute independence of personality and thoughts !)
6. Empathy (this word is hard to understand! 1. Be persistent and invest. 2. Consider the problems at the time from the perspective of others. Do not stick to the fearless dispute .)
7. Capacity to work together tively with superiors, peers, and subordinates (cultivate the efficient working ability of yourself and your boss, classmates, and subordinates! This is a highly coordinated capability .)
8. initiative and sense of responsibility (do not give up because of failure, subjective initiative, brave action! The sense of responsibility is very important !)
9. Capacity for objective self-criticism !)
10. leadership and management skills !)

Habits of work
1. efficiency in the use of time (efficient use of time! We also want to play, graduate students, 20% of the time to play, 80% of the work, and only 20% of the work time is the most effective time. Don't even kill this time .)
2. Persistence-ability to see things through to completion (to stick to the end, you cannot give up easily. In fact, you need to first recognize the results and have a panoramic assumption about your work !)
3. Capacity for sustained intellectual and physical work! Just learn and do not play, smart children will become silly! All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy !! This is more important in scientific research .)
4. orderliness !)
5. Ability to meet deadlines (setting deadlines for yourself is a kind of promotion and encouragement !)

Mechanical skills
1. manual dexterity (hands-on capability !)
2. Skill in the development, selection, and use of appropriate scientific, engineering, or artistic apparatus, machines, and models

So what can you do with a master's degree? The point is not that you may learn to do scientific research. More importantly, it has trained itself in 4 aspects.:

1. Level and method of thinking;

2. Independent thinking ability;

3. Learning ability;

4. communication skills.

Scientific research requires deep thinking, high independence, first-class learning and strong communication skills! We can see that some people do not have their own correct and independent ways of thinking before graduation, and they cannot even express their intentions smoothly. In this process, you may also overcome your shortcomings, learn to listen, respect others, appreciate others, thank others, and care for others. Therefore, do not waste your high education.

Certainly, the campus and society are still different. We may need more abilities to interact with people, learn to survive, and live in the society, but we can also see the capabilities that many friends in the society do not possess, many people will also feel empty, inferior, closed, and helpless, because many abilities need to be cultivated quietly and gradually, and they are infiltrated into the bones. Stepping into the Society may not have good soil to cultivate these. With these capabilities, I want you to adapt to society, work, and life as quickly as possible. We should play the game, but the game has rules!

Therefore, you cannot waste the most important time in your life.What should we do? Simple:Do what you need to do now with extraordinary diligence and passion! And maintain a rich heart!

I am trying on the way! So do you?

Rule No 6: Do not waste the good days which can reinvent yourself! Do what you shoshould do with the Van Gogh-like deligence and passion, and a richful and colorful heart !!!
