Armaments = notes/information/knowledge
Like the title said. This is my current problem. Actually, amassing too many armaments is also a bad thing. Too many options. By the time I finished "training", the "battle" would have been over.
6 days into break. Every single day is a struggle of trying to stay awake and coping with the insatiable appetite. Felt sleepy all day long. Perhaps this is because I have slept too little in the previous months. Now, even sleeping 8 hours a day is not enough. As for appetite, well.... just imagine trying to look for food like once every hour. Or eating massive amount of food during breakfast/lunch/dinner. I think if this goes on, I can say hello to the Doctor very soon.
Ok. Someone led me to re-look my current priorities. One: This person (or actually, people) had the mood for birthday celebrations at a time when a major project is going on. Two: This person, who has usually been scoring lower than me, actually emailed past year questions to me.
Point One: Okok. Maybe I am the weird one. My birthday holds no significance for me (though I believe otherwise for certain people). It is just the day I am born. Nothing more. I have not anything special or earth-breaking for anyone to commemorate this day either. Then again, judging from the actions of people around me, yes. Birthdays are important dates. From this, it is super duper obvious that I am a very negative person. A senior put it very well - A day lost in lab may not matter. But to miss out on important social activity will have a bigger impact. Need to re-look priorities. Also, I need to go out more. Maybe I will reconsider going to that Christmas gathering.
Point Two: Very generous person I must say. The papers are freely available. One just have to look for them. I actually have them prior to that email. If you bother to refer to that post where I spouted things about "competitive edge", you would have probably guessed I would not reveal such information to anyone, unless it is someone who really needed help or someone asked me for it (I tend to adopt a don't ask, don't tell policy. Unless I have judged that the person really needed help or it is something basic that everyone should know or we are in the same group. Or there is no conflict of interest/goals.). But this person actually just emailed to all her friends. Looking back, either I am selfish, or overly competitive. Need to reflect - on a simple gesture that actually set me thinking.
