The idea that I would be rewarded if I worked hard enough was deeply rooted in me. So I spent long hours in the lab, steadily filled pages in my notebook, and was praised for my hard work. When my experiments didn’t produce the exciting results they were expected to, I thought I just needed to work more.______①I didn’t know what to do.
It was late in the evening. One other person was still in the lab: A postdoc(博士后), who noticed my situation, came over and gently asked how I was doing. I told him about my struggles with the experiment and that I felt like a failure.②______After we talked through the experiment, the postdoc said, “I think it’s time to go home and get some sleep.” He added with a smile, “Taking a break is also hard work, you know?”
Those comments planted the seed of a new approach: novel ideas do not come from a mind constantly under pressure. My best ideas and “aha” moments almost always come after I allow my mind to relax—whether that’s playing video games with my brother, cooking a nice dinner, or going on long hikes with my wife.③______.
Today, a decade after that eye-opening evening in the lab, I try to pass this mindset on to my own students. Not too long ago, in the lab one night, I walked by one of my students. I gently asked how she was doing. With a defeated look, she responded that the plan for the experiment refused to work, again, despite many attempts. I couldn’t help but see myself all those years
ago.④______I asked her why we do what we do. Often it comes down to pursuing curiosity and passion.
How can we foster that spirit? ⑤______Work-life balance is not a harmful thing to excellent research, or an optional bonus, but a fundamental part of it. A. So I worked even harder, ignoring the result.
B. Part of working smarter, I realized, can be taking a break. C. The answer does not include working ourselves to exhaustion. D. By striking a balance between working hard and getting some sleep. E. I didn’t tell him that I was also wondering what was wrong with me. F. Yet here I was, working harder than ever—but not getting anywhere. G. We talked for a while about academic life and what it means to be a researcher.
