It's kind of demoralizing these days =/ I can't find the inspiration to write, and there's so much to do... Kihara's article on electromagnets, read-up on MOSFET amplifiers, radiation calculations, interview, serious emails to write. What's really demoralizing is that I'm witnessing a horrible ethical climate all this while and I can't stop thinking about it...
What do you have?
I thought about it, and I figured: I started with all that I had. I'm left with what I have to give. It's not much, but it's everything that I have.
If we start with a tabula rasa state of mind, then perhaps we should remember that the inscriptions erode the material that remains on the blank slate. IMO, we start from zero, and go into negatives. It's up to you to figure out what you want to write with the remaining space. But I've come across my fair share of people who'd rather pursue their personal (I can't say 'gain', since it's 'negative', as I was saying) with what's left.
Dealing with failure?
I've been pondering over the "significant failure" essay and I realized that there are tens of thousands of people who would be writing the same thing, and all of them will have something to write. We ARE really in good company if we fail.
The easy part about the essay is that the first half is already written for you - what had I chosen to write for the second half?
P.S.: Oh, and I broke a promise, or rather, went against something I said. I swore upon a self-incurred penalty of 1000 solutions to differential equations... so, in the matter of 5 minutes, I ended up having 9000 differential equations to solve as punishment... I guess I'll pick up a book with examples on electricity and magnetism and begin atoning my sin.
