Here's an oldie but a goodie from Jorge Cham, longtime friend and Virgil to haplessly lost grad students. Yes, I did cut this out of a printed newspaper many years ago when I first started my thesis work. Yes, I collect and keep the most random things. But this little scrap has staying power -- at least until the material itself disintegrates.
I invite you to save this image ...
... In case you need evidence that HAL is, indeed, in our immediate future.
... In case you need extra motivation to do what you need to do ... even if you already know you need to do it.
... In case you need evidence that spiraling thinking is not helpful. (Wait, it is helpful. No, it's not. I really should stop thinking about this.)
... In case you'd like to take your writing and yourself less seriously, even though it is your LIFE and you will never survive if you don't finish.
