Ph.d resolutions


This post is taken from the 'e-mail forward' received from Prof.Latha, it is creative and sounds true, verify with someone who has done P.hD. Similar dynamic takes place in all walks of life for example marriage, career etc...

(9)   I wanted to break up with my friends.
(10) I love to work on Sundays and Holidays.

  1. The spirit is willing but you have to realise that you just don't have the ability to do a PhD if it lasts more than four years. At this stage one must be satisefied with being Elementary School "Professor".
