I think I need to do journaling more. I used to write a diary. At some point, I did stop. I think the biggest reason was because I started writing a diary in English to learn, that made me frustrate. Now, I am feeling much better by writing my diary in English, I can write down what I am thinking and how I am feeling. The science of happiness showed that the people who do journaling are feeling happier than those who don’t. Why don’t you try?
Lately, I had heard from the man who is in charge of the position which I applied the job in Australia. While this job seems very nice, it seems very competitive. They made a short list of 5, out of many candidates. I made it!! Among 5 candidates, I am the youngest candidate for this job, but I am not willing to give up this opportunity. I will have interview in one month. Also, I got an offer from Korea which is very nice. I have one place to go at least. Also, I am going to apply for 2 or 3 more in Japan and Germany. Still, it is tough time for me, only I can do is doing my best.
I will make a presentation for this job. I would like to spend a certain time to prepare. My favorite chess player Garry Kasparov said ‘Your life is your preparation’. I will do my best preparation on this job. I would promise in front of readers, I am going to do my best for this presentation. I will learn a lot during the preparation. Most of you are not interested in, but I will write them here to ponder.
If I got this job, I would be an instrument scientist. The instrument scientists help the scientist to do experiments at reactors and accelerators. He is the specialist for instruments. This is huge opportunity for young scientist like me. Not only I can learn about the instrument, but also I can collaborate with many of scientist. What I am doing now is how I can make the instrument I am applying special in the world.
To be honest, the study I am currently working on is not so good situation. I am struggling to make a story for the paper. As an experimental physicist, I strongly believe that high quality data is everything. Even though we have good instruments and techniques, we should know what we are proving, what is needed to enough to convince people? We have to get best data under given condition.
I am currently reading ‘Music, Language, and Brain’. I have been thinking there is close relation between music and language. This book gave me a lot of answers. Still a lot of questions and I need to understand this book more. This book is very academic, but also fun. It has well chosen and structured contents. You will also enjoy. Also this book is about cognitive science, we can know what science currently knows about language and music.
I got a mail from sister in law. She gave me my nephew’s pictures. She is very cute, is going to be 2 years old in February. I miss her a lot. My brother, parents and relatives are going well.
