In "Charlotte's Web", Charlotte told Wilbur: no hurry, no worry. Ever since I read that, I tried to tell myself "no hurry, no worry" whenever I feel the rush to do my work or worry about my future. Everything turns out to be perfectly okay. Surprisingly, I even got praise from my advisor for this attitude.
After being in a conference for a week, I am behind my schedule. Today, I am worried that I couldn't get my qualify exam down before this semester ends. Then, I remember this quote and I tell myself: just try your best, but it is always okay to postpone the exam to the beginning of next semester.
Recently, I realize that I may not be smart and I am very slow at my PhD. progress. But with the assurance of a plan for my life, I have the peace in my heart to do things no hurry and no worry.
I tried to find a "like" button...
