Alright, so i conducted an experiment to find out whats wrong with me
My profile says some stuff that i really like to tell about but there are other things in my profile that are stopping girls from writing/reply to me
After watching a couple of youtube videos that confirmed in a test that short men don't have an chance of getting a date, i tried to conduct my own experiment. I have another profile in a website where i got lot of views but no message. So i changed my height from 5'4 to 6'1 [yes, i know its called lying, but this is my experiment and my height is a variable in the equation]. Guess what?
suddenly i became Mr.Right
After 1 week i reverted my height back to 5'4 and then back to whatever
Anyone has made a successful experiential like this?
Yesterday a big thing happened.
History:
I am a student working for my PhD. Interested in robotics. Till i get a good topic I was to work for an investor on a start-up company. I was working on Thermography to detect breast cancer. I did not like it, but worked for money. I told my professor and he was ok till i find a project for my PhD. Recent months he started reject all my ideas for my dissertation (research topic).
Past few months:
All my ideas about lab improvements and grant proposals were bluntly denied. I was finally told that I got to do PhD in thermography. I said NO. Prof said he'll fund me only if I work in that project since he has no money for other projects. I saw another professor working in robotics field. I have already worked for him outside class. So asked him can he accept me as a PhD student. He said ok if my current professor is ok with it. Both the professors talked to one another and gave me the choice.
Choice:
Do thermography and get payed for my PhD. Or change professor and i will not get funded until the professor gets a grant or some support from department. Being an international student, my fee every semester is $10,000.
What I did:
I spent all my life so far with no pleasure to do something i like to do for the rest of my life. So i turned down the funding and decided to go with my area of interest. Motivation is the only energy that can help someone finish his/her PhD. My professor is currently not happy with the move. I also asked him if i can work for the investor and also do my PhD as personal/weekend stuff. He said no. When all my doors were closed to do research in my interest i decided to move. My friends in the lab are not happy about this.
I worked in that lab for 3 years. I go there everyday at 7:30AM and leave later than 8:00PM. I spend more time there than my home. I know where every piece of anything lay in the lab. Starting tomorrow and weekend I will be cleaning my spot. I will not be funded any more. I did not tell my parents and will not tell. Recently my sister told I am no use for the family because i am not helping my parents. (She and my dad are the only earning members). I will not quit my PhD. Did i make a bad decision?
Nothing more.
