As a failed (so far) candidate in postdoc applications, I am challenged for months to keep going.
I drew some inspiration from Trump.
Just quick few thoughts.
Trump kept going even though he is almost 80 years old despite many challenges. So even though I feel like I have so many challenges, I should take example and persevere in my goals despite setbacks of all sorts.
Trump verbalized victory. I should verbalize my victory. I am going to be a postdoc, a successful scientist.
Trump had a good team. I should think about getting some mentors and support people in academia to help me navigate the rough waters. And nice collaborators to do amazing science! Let’s discover together.
Trump did 900+ rallies. I should not give up and stop applying after an X number of applications.
I hope that I can look in the mirror and see where I can improve my skills and application to be more successful.
I hope no one harms my family or me because I mentioned Trump in a blog.
