I had dinner with two junior faculty members. I was shocked to know that L. works everyday from 8am to 12am for six days a week! Amazing! It is true that if you want to achieve something, you got to push yourself hard. He actually puts a refrigerator, a microwave and a coffee maker in his office. He eats his lunch in his office… He was not kidding. I can see from his eyes how badly he wants it…
I am really moved…
Just as Dr. Randy Pausch said, the brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. But the question is, have we found the thing that we desperately want and cannot live without?
