Much DJ: Writing to the past, present and future self

In Australia for 2.5 months , and now gradually adapt to the life here. I always feel that the pace of life here is very slow, people too comfortable or complacent, this is obviously not my life rhythm. I want to recall the bitter days of the past and the spirit of hard work, from the mental outlook to the current self a vigilant and some motivation, but also a record of the past 8 years of life and look forward to the future of the day.

I clearly remember from the 2006 Year 1, I began to repeat , my study number is the five , the class about more than a few people. That year, I was reborn, and the past 3 years of the kind of carefree life to do farewell, I almost quit all high school entertainment, closed themselves in a no one knows the corner, it is like a makeover to re-act. At that time, I often carry a big schoolbag on the bus on the road to listen to the invisible wings and the original dream of the English composition to see the math treasure, a person sitting alone in the classroom of the hundreds of people repeatedly practice those who did not like physics, only to be able to test a few more. I never give up on such a day, just because I want to prove to myself. In a year of such day and night, I finally ushered in the second college entrance examination, although the final to a high score of two school, but I know my strength, I did. I overcame my terrible procrastination, dared to face the difficult cowardice and many negative things, and I stood up again.

In 2007Year 9I entered the Qingdao Agricultural University to study, began the first semester I particularly depressed, I always feel oneself and this school's gas field is out of tune, I always feel that their high score into the outside World said no school is a failure. But gradually over the past half semester, I feel that this mentality is very bad, I have to regain self, so in the second half of the semester just beginning I gave the goal, must become the strongest here, I remember the most clear is their own from the big one every night to insist on not taking mobile phone on the study, although the days have been very bitter, But in the heart of special enrichment, that time for life all the hope is rushed out of such a school, I remember freshman back to tell mother, oneself in read "pheasant" school, teacher sucks, facilities are not good, I will have no future, the result mother very seriously told me: we spend money not to let you on the Pheasant school, It's where the gold shines, and you should try to get up. Perhaps there is a destiny, in a big run out of the bookshelf, I saw the Carnegie Mellon University of Long-kai-Fu Lee wrote the book: Do the Best of their own, that moment I unexpectedly have a want to cry impulse, because every sentence in the book I have special recognition. He said, do the best of their own, is that you can not change the environment around, and strive to change their state of mind, to do the best of their own, is not to complain, one day you will be rewarded and harvested. Do the best you can not think of everything will be rewarded, you should go all out to do, return is a byproduct. From that every moment, I understand, I work hard to learn, not to compete with others for scholarships, but out of the love of knowledge, I strive to do every class before the textbook repeatedly preview, after class actively do every exercise, adhere to daily study, adhere to do 200about the sit-ups, adhere to an apple a day, maybe I was a bit paranoid in others, but I clearly know their dream is to break through this place, admitted to graduate students. I remember from the sophomore, the postgraduate examination has become my main theme, all and the relevant or related subjects of the postgraduate examination I strive to get the score, although because of various factors, I can not get a scholarship, but who cares, I study just because of learning to bring me happiness, is so simple. I remember very clearly that every weekend, I do not go anywhere, just in the library to soak up the day, smell the Oppenheim of the signaling principle of the ink, as if they also swim in the master side, listen to the call from MIT. These days, my goal is locked in the University of Posts and telecommunications and the two above, later because of the coincidence, I chose Ocean University is also something. Remember the second half of the semester and senior half of the year, I particularly desperately, all day is learning and learning, almost nothing to do, the summer of the junior, I was the only summer in the class did not go home students, I sleep in the dormitory bed, every day by giving themselves dozen "chicken soup" to live, the day is very hot ah, Sweat down the neck down the stream, but every night to study back to listen to Deng Dr. said that he was in Berkeley every night sleep four hours reading, full of reading, hard work in IBM internship, I feel that they are inferior to others in IQ, if not their efforts, will be worse, So must be in the effort and they remain flat, even at a seemingly "self-abuse" way to learn, and finally experienced ups and downs of the selection and review, I also with luck as the eighth-place examination into the Ocean University began the postgraduate study life. Throughout the undergraduate period my idol is Dr. Lee Kai-Fu and Dr. Deng, their efforts have been inspired me to move forward.

After entering Ocean University, I still did not relax myself, although research a very confused, learned a lot of engineering techniques, such as computer principles, C + +Programming, PythonProgramming, even in the summer vacation despite the tutor opposed to the Lucent internship, at that time just divorced from the pressure of undergraduate, not clear their future direction. At the beginning of the second year of the Sea, I had a profound conversation with my mentor, and I remember the tutor asking me: what kind of person do you really want to be and what you can do. Finally I determined the way out of the country application, I told the tutor, I want to do research, I want to go abroad. So I started to do research papers at the same time to test English, although the English test of about 1Year over, total 7(TOEFL and IELTS), writing papers from the beginning by the tutor criticized as a technical report, to the final graduation there are two articles journalThe article published, I also achieved the self-transcendence and the promise of the time. There are a few things that impressed me the most: the first thing I did in 2012Annual National Day 5Day holiday, I could hardly get out of the lab, and the rough-and-fast Andrew Ng machine learning Read the first time, his video grabbed my heart, Andrew machine learning so vivid, so I suddenly fell in love with machine learning, decided to use artificial intelligence and machine learning for their future main direction, to apply for the doctoral project in this area, that five days let me really full input, benefited for a long time. The second thing is to write the first academic paper, at that time, I put forward the idea of integrated learning to do limit learning machine, in fact, tried a lot of methods can not effectively solve the problem, just when I want to give up, my heart told oneself in insist on a bit more maybe there is a turnaround, then I sleep in the laboratory every night, Qingdao mosquitoes out of the name of the bad, but I Leng in the laboratory for about one months, and finally I accidentally from a book to get the answer to the question, the new method Work thesis. The third thing is that when I have been in English for many times but lost Unsw full prize admission, in other laboratory people to me cynical, still did not give up hope to adhere to the laboratory every day, adhere to the application, insist on learning English, insist on writing a second paper, Finally in 2014 10 at the end of the month, I successfully passed the English, also at the beginning of this year received a second paper in neural computing and Applications The letter of acceptance published above. Last year 12 month 1 is a magical day, I got the dream of admission notice, when Uts All the letters sent to my mailbox, I can't believe that the dream has finally come true, the moment of mixed feelings, the power of the dream is great, but willpower and perseverance and the good habits of diligence is the key to all this success. Throughout the graduate period my idol was Dr. Lurkey, Dr. Wu, Dr. Biopo and Dr. Shi, who work in insanely hard and Smart

Now came to the University of Science and Technology in Sydney for two months, I often depressed their base poor, often feel and mentor communication is very difficult, often feel difficult to carry out, difficult to carry on, dare not face experimental setbacks, and sometimes even do not want to come out of the comfort zone, do not want to update their knowledge system and steal a little lazy idea. Perhaps the most foolish way to meet the current situation of the so-called success is not to be complacent, perhaps this is also a lot of gifted PhD freshmen can not further break through their roots. Fortunately, I realized the seriousness of the problem, then from today began to make their own life, everything from new beginning. Forget all the previous achievements, no matter the past is good or bad, forget, from now on is a new platform, a new country, a new place, need to start the struggle again, all zero new start, seize the limited time of life to struggle to create, as Dr. Lurkey said: If you feel the day is uncomfortable, Then this is a very good thing, because you are progressing in the growth, you have to have a mentality, this mentality is out of the comfort zone and embrace the risk, embrace what they do not understand, with a frank attitude, the courage to participate in the courage to learn every day. Chances are always there, the key is that you can jump on the right boat at the right time. The slogan does not need to shout, or the actual action and achievements to prove it, the future is very big, but also very beautiful, let us all work together to fight! Apply that old saying to encourage each other: as always, only to insist on the dream. (The actual is as always, but has been particularly fond of following the word, have continued to feel)
