On Christmas Eve,seventy-three-year-old George selected his food carefully.Skim milk was $2.99 white bread,89 cents with a 10-cent discount Leaving the cashier,he calculated that he had saved 80 cents today.
At the exit, the wind reminded him of his gloves.”Where are they?”Not in the coat pockets.Not in the grocery bag either.He was sure he was wearing them when he entered the store.He clearly remembered putting them into the pocket of this coat.George made a second thorough search of all his pockets,again including the grocery bag.Now he was sure they must have been dropped somewhere inside the store.
Old George had bought the black leather gloves at a 25％discount,for just $35.00,ten years ago.They were soft and warm and very durable.He had taken care not to let a drop of water or rain touch his expensive gloves,so they looked like new.Losing this favorite possession was almost like losing a child to him.
George,calm on the outside but nervous inside,re-entered the store.He followed the same route he had walked before,starting at the bread counter,to the milk section,the corner where salt and sugar were placed,then the rest of the store.Several minutes of anxious searching turned out to be in vain.He asked the customers whether they saw a pair of black leather gloves,but they said no.Then he went over to the cashier without hesitation to ask if she had received any lost gloves,but only received the same answer.His heart grew heavier.
“Society has changed,people have changed,”he murmured to himself.”Years ago,if somebody picked up something lost,they would give it back.Now a good action is lost.”
Yet he did not give up hope.He started to stare at anybody wearing black gloves to see if they looked like his.The first two persons he saw did wear gloves,but one was women’s and the other not black.a

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.1.I 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 pan of it.
A.So I worked even harder,ignoring the result.
B.Part of working smarter,I realized,call 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.
