I didn’t understand him.
He keeps saying that our work is beautiful or magnificent,
or excellent. He seems very serious and genuine when he states those words. We
don’t know which part of those reports is beautiful. He never mentions it in
particular. He just says the overall is a great piece of work. It is always
like that.
I thought he might be valuing our efforts and persistence.
He didn’t seem too much care about the final results, but he such a person who
always appreciates process. He sees his student’s sad faces every year when
they encounter the painstaking process, but he just keep saying nice words to
convince us that we can do it. No man dies because of such a long-term project.
You are not going to break the atoms, he said. He’d never seem to be
disappointed with our failures. You just do it, show it to me, improve it and
based on his experience no work is really-really perfect. It might be not
perfect, but it is still has a meaningful contribution. Then he will cheer our
up to keep moving and continuing to the finish line.
When I think a lot about it, I’ve found that he is such an
inspiring person who had his own hard time but successfully passed many tests
in life. He knows people have their own inner-strength that can defeat
obstacles even though they don’t realize it. People can push themselves to do
wonderful things only when they are well encouraged, well motivated or well
supported. Only who can cultivate perseverance and work consistently towards
their goal will reach their dreams.
Pekanbaru,
