    Losing motivation for everything

    You should read some stuff by David Burns, a pioneer in the field of something called cognitive behavioral therapy, especially "Feeling Good: The New Mood therapy". His work focuses on how depression is based on negative thought patterns that are unrealistic ways of viewing yourself and the...

    not an ideal result on the fitness test for boxing. I ran a 15:10 but ended up puking on the last lap which probably added a good 20 to 30 seconds on my time, would not have made the 14 mark anyway. I think it was my nerves, looks like I'll just have to train harder :up: The good news is I...

    IT or nanotechnology?

    The other side of the coin there are plenty of reasons not to go for the MD, you can always complain about stuff. Some of the doctors that I have worked with before complain about long hours, the pressure to make money, rising cost of malpractice insurance (big one), and people expecting you to...

    IT or nanotechnology?

    for any kind of science field expect 4 years of undergraduate work in the US plus between 4-6 years of graduate work to get a PhD. You can take a less amount of time to get a masters degree, however that doesn't open nearly as many doors for you as the PhD at least in the life sciences which I...
