So, unfortunately, I have not reached Australia yet. I was told and I have been thinking that American are very competent on paper job, however, it seems this is not the case for FBI. I have waiting more than 3 moths from the original request for my record. I will make a phone call them tonight to know the current situation.
This is of course unfortunate though, I am also having good time to prepare to the future. Looking back my life, maybe, I have never read such a lot of paper for my research. I could have developed my reading skill as a scientist and also I could have finished (and will finish) several papers and proposals. This is good chance to learn. And I might have several more weeks. So I will take advantage of this.
This week, an interesting thing happened to me. Since I am not that smart enough to compete many of top level scientist (They are insanely smart), so naturally, I need to find the niche market in physics to survive, in especially the study of magnets. So I have been focusing on some material which I was thinking I knew the best in the world. However, that was just my hope I wanted to cling.
I found that there is a material whose magnetic structure might be wrong. This material has been studying for 50 years something. Although just reading the papers though, I was excited to know this. So I planned the experiment and read a lot of papers very carefully. And then I happened to find the paper which is written by Chinese guy (I didn’t know at that time) at Beijing. So, I emailed to him (I can get email address from the paper) to let him know my idea for his paper. I came up with the idea to keep his study going. He thanked me and told me surprising news, which was published this week. And he said he is already collaborating with Univ. of Tokyo. Oh, I am sorry I was in America.
I was surprised to hear that. And then, I researched around this area. There were several works have done this material very recently. Some of them are close to my recent findings which I haven’t published. As for science, this thing sometimes happens. People work independently, separately, and competitively but the innovation happens almost the same time. So, I have to be in hurry to publish my paper before they can reach my idea.
Challenge? Accepted!!

I attached the best video I watched this week. One of the most brilliant guys I know on the earth talks about job applicants. This talk is really short but he talked everything to tell who the talented one is. And this is very true. You can tell whether or not he is good at solving problems by the way of his understanding the problems. His words should be very strong, simple, sincere, and profound because he struggled with the problem by himself. This 90 second interview is worth 10 books. You can even know how to build a rocket from scratch＼(＾▽＾)／
