How can a Ph.D. student organize his paper
Ph.D. students often read a lot of papers, and papers might of different categories. For example, I am a Ph.D. student with research area in security focusing on moving target defense, the papers I read can be divided into different defense strategy
- dynamic platforms
- dynamic execution environment
- …
One way to organized the paper is to use Goolge Scholar.
Maintaining papers with Google Scholar
Step 1: search the paper using google scholar, and click the “save” item, then the paper will be saved to your library.
Step 2: add labels to the paper. Click on the paper in your library, and select the label.
Benefits
- “online-access” to it all the time.
- You can sort the papers by year.
- You can track who cite the papers and their citation number!

Rate: 80/100
Today, I went to the Bollywood Bistro with my Indian labmate. I have been to this place several times. I love the food here, especially for the rice, and Indian curry and meat. They also serve some dessert and fruits.
Today is a windy day. And we decided to eat outside the restaurant to enjoy the sunshine and wind. However, the wind was really heavy, it almost blew our table away.

[VA 22031] Marumen 拉面馆
评分： 70/100
Yelp 链接：http://www.yelp.com/biz/marumen-fairfax-2
价格： 拉面
3.5
3.5从昨天下午上课的时候就一直想着吃拉面，无奈昨天自己带了晚饭。今天下午迫不及待地奔去吃。
虽然这家店不是很正宗，但VA附近也没有其它拉面馆啦。面条不是很有嚼劲，并且配料很少，只加了豆芽菜，海苔片以及半个溏心蛋 （竟然还是甜的，口味有点怪啊！）。 其它配料需要自己加钱，可以加玉米，竹笋 等。汤头挺浓的，应该是猪骨汤，不油腻刚刚好。
另外一个特点就是餐前会送小吃，今天送了毛豆。我们另外还点了炸猪皮，吃起来脆脆的，有脂肪的香味，不过对我来说稍微有点辣。

The meaning of doing research
06/17/2015
I am interning in a tech company this summer. My mentor is a very smart, humorous, and happy guy. He got his Ph.D. degree from C, one of my dream school.
I am inspired by his opinion towards technology and the meaning of pursuing Ph.D. degree.

It is important to understand how technology interacts with the marketplace. Technology that truly changes the way we work and live must keep both the technical and market aspects in mind.
Self-Discipline has potential to be ruined by Ph.D
04/15/2015
Today, I saw a discussion in Huaren forum [Link]
Guys there were discussing about whether the self-discipline is determined by congenital factor (先天）or by nurture (后天). It is very interesting and also surprising that many people said they have very good discipline before they enter the Ph.D. program! But when they enter the Ph.D. program, they suffer a lot and become to have procrastination (拖延症).
The reasons that they tend to have procrastination after entering the Ph.D. program are
-
Outside the Ph.D. program, everything has a very clear goal and if you work toward goal, you can see you make progress step by step. But things are different in Ph.D. program, you need to find a topic by yourself, and it is not easy to envision the outcome.
-
Someone said in the forum that the motivation of self-discipline is “I am good at something, if I keep working on this, I will be much better than anyone else”.
-
If you have no positive feedback, it is easy for you to give up.
-
People around you are very excellent, and you found no matter what you do, you cannot catch up with them. As a consequence, you feel upset.
-
My comment: Win-win will be better. Learn excellent qualities from others! I don’t think this is good reason for upset to come from.
Therefore, in order to be a productive Ph.D. student, there are some actions we can take
-
Do something you are good at. For example, I am working on algorithm but I am not good at making proof. Therefore, a better way for me is to find some application for algorithms and do some simulation.
-
Find short goal for yourself. Divided the big goals into small pieces and complete each one step by step.
-
Someone said self-discipline is like muscle. If you not keep training, the muscle will atrophied （萎缩）. Lol
-
Thinking in a different way. Many successes is due to the cumulative acquisition of knowledge.
If you are hurt by the Ph.D. life and would like to strike a way out to get a different life, here are some suggestions
-
You may be procrastinated because you are doing something that you are not interested at all. If it were this case, then I encourage to find something you really like.
