I am guided on my research journey by my former students
What's funny is that some of my students now coax and encourage me to finish my research. The students whom I always guide and help are also the ones who guide and help me with my study. I thank God for the opportunity to be a researcher and a guide for researchers.

I belong to a generation that dreamed of building a better world
I feel I now face an extremely complex social situation, realizing that as humans, we have let part of our humanity go through the grind of daily life.

While in academia, remember to be kind to yourself
I have spent the majority of my working life as a lecturer in a mid-ranking university, and I’ve been reasonably successful at my job. However, I didn’t particularly have a good time while doing my job. I’m still not sure why, but I think that pushing myself too hard sometimes was part of it, and not being sufficiently aware of what I was taking on in several situations also contributed.

I am a (very tired) rescue-supervisor
This post expresses my frustration; as right now, I feel pretty tired. And my research students form a significant area of my concerns. I am an associate supervisor who did not freely choose to supervise. Currently, I supervise three students, all of whom need significant help. This is not an ideal situation for anyone.
