Help I Suffering From Stupidity and Laziness
-
I am a life scientist trainee.
I entered the field a few years before gahmen announce the life science program, so I am not one of the followers.
I suffer from stupidity. Why? Because no matter how much I've read there is always somebody much clever.
I suffer from laziness. Why? Because if I can work until 12 midnight, there is always someone who can work until 3am.
When the world is your competitor, I ask you how can anyone NOT be stupid and lazy? -
when u face up to those from PRC, it's liddat wans.
as long as there's money for u to take every month, u shld not worry too much.

so, are you asking this because of you, are you asking an economic question, or are you asking a political question?

I tink you are suffering from "negative comparison" syndrome. The more you are concerned about this, the deeper the pit you are falling into.Originally posted by Cystaire:I am a life scientist trainee.

1. No matter how hard you study, there will indeed always be someone better than you. If that makes you stupid, then I would say that the whole world is stupid since there's someone else who's always better than each of us.Originally posted by Cystaire:I am a life scientist trainee.

And if the whole world's stupid, then you are not stupid.
It's just like if the whole world consists of superhumans, then no one is superhuman.
2. Likewise, no matter how hard you work, there will always be someone who works harder than you.
And for all you know that guy who works till 3am might be doing so because he's less efficient than you are.
Cheers. -

Take note from Fudgester's comments about what you assume other people seems to be "more" than you.Originally posted by fudgester:1.

Simply because you make the WORLD as your competitor, there is NO WAY you can win and with this mentality its even possible it may leave you scared emotionally.
Why do you want to make the world you competitor? What are you trying to achieve? Status? Fame? More $$$? Any other things? -

Suffering From Stupidity and Laziness
if there is a cure, let me know....

Don't measure self-worth based only on your success at work or school

Just to add on, Cystaire:
Why do you want to compete against all the other trainees? In the end, all of you have a common goal, that is, to work in life sciences. Stop seeing it as a competition and start seeing it as a mutual effort towards a common goal. Instead of competing and comparing yourself against others, why don't you just focus on trying to improve yourself?
Forget about trying to be someone else. Just focus on being a better Cystaire.
To sum it all up: the enemy is not out there. The enemy is within yourself.
You are the only one who can truly stop yourself from becoming a better person. -

you forgot the last probability, that guy is an insomiac. -

I am, however, aware of the reality in mechanical engineering.Originally posted by Cystaire:Thanks for your comments, but you are not aware of the reality in science.
Here, it's cut-throat competition between the mechanical engineering undergrads. Here, if you're not an honours student then you're technically below average. There are people who would actually refuse to help others because they see them as 'the enemy'.
I refuse to engage in such behaviour; I see my fellow undergrads as people who share a common goal as I do. For every imbecile who thinks that everyone else is a potential enemy, I know of others who would willingly share and help each other.
For goodness' sake... stop comparing yourself to others already. Don't try to be someone else; just focus on being a better Cystaire. I don't try to be this bugger who gets CAP 5.0 or this guy who gets into the Dean's List every semester; I just try to be a better Fudgester.
If everyone else zigs, then you should zag. If everyone else sees each other as enemies, then you should start seeing them as friends.
I've said it once; I'll say it again:
THE ENEMY IS NOT OUT THERE. THE ENEMY IS WITHIN YOURSELF. -

You haven't even graduated yet.

You never know that there are people who are worse off than you. Its considered admirable that you are even a scientist.
Remember, "Let the person perform the Art he loves most". If you are extremely interested in science, you should have more confidence and substitute your negative points with some other aspects. Like creativity?
Also, everyone in this world will have their own expertise, just believe in yourself. Let the others be, they might seem to be in a better position because they have manage to overcome or avoid their weaknesses. Do that too and you will surpass them one day.
Have faith in yourself and i will have faith in you too. Good luck and not dwell on it anymore.
