Comment on Advice to a Beginning Graduate Student

Comments

Great read, even for this grad school drop out.

Being wrong (or failing to arrive at an answer) is, when my ego doesn't get in way, amazing.

Until reading this article, I thought of it mainly as an opportunity to improve my knowledge base (which is why I also enjoy, "I don't know about that, please explain.")

But, the bigger win is when you improve your process of analyzing and solving. I suppose I have stumbled into that approach unconsciously but to make it explicit is far more powerful.

Now, where else can I go apply that...
