One thing I have not taken seriously in my life and I regret a lot, is celebrating my small wins. I never had a party for my degrees or even on landing a job. Please celebrate your wins. There is no other life apart from this. That graduation or new job is the life happening!

For a PhD student, the goal is to read at least 150 academic articles every year! And write at least 300 words on each of them everyday, off your mind! Read, Read and Read. Google Scholar if free of charge!
