Path of Research 今天不努力工作，明天努力找工作。 General Principles in Xu Lab Success originates from efforts! Working hard is an essential for successful academic research and the lab; Self-motivation is necessary for every work, everybody; Every effort counts; Make every effort for productivity to obtain novel findings, more papers, and funding. Be prepared from techniques, reading, thinking, performing, and writing. Plan your experiments more efficiently, make use of the working hours for more experiments; Think about and write down your schedule of what you plan to do for the day, week, month, year, even long. Do it right now. Thus, you will be more efficient and know the next step in the process. Track your progress. Keep a tally or a progress bar for ongoing projects. Publish or perish…. Be focused on your work. Headset, too many messages, too may emails, too many phone calls, you name it, are diluting your focuses and affecting your thinking. These are strongly discouraged during working hours; If, in any case, we do not work hard today, we will have to work hard to find a job tomorrow, or hardly find a job!
