A blogger on Feministe asks:
What else needs to be done? If you have body image issues, what could help you overcome them? And if you don’t, for the love of God please tell me how you do it.
The answer is: go back in time and relive your childhood with parents who actually love you. In case that is impossible, undergo psychoanalysis.
I’m waiting for my husband at the Y and reading my blog roll. Hence the deluge of posts.
I wanted to ask if you could write about 3 issues:
1) Laziness and/or procrastination, tendency to leave all work till last day/night. How did you avoid this trap while writing PhD? If it isn’t connected to willpower, to what it is?
2) Did you believe from the beginning you had “it” to succeed? What if one wants to try and achieve something, but has this feeling “I am not smart, creative, etc enough”?
3) For instance, in your field, not everybody *is* good enough to succeed objectively. At what point can one sadly but honestly accept one’s limitations and stop trying to break a wall?
Just question: Did you publish already during your MA, which let you to be accepted to good PhD program?
