R3ciprocity.com - Prof David Maslach: Innovation; Research Life; Striving Towards Happiness

One of the hardest lessons to learn, and in entrepreneurship or innovation, is realizing that nobody cares about you or your product. The only way that you know if they actually care is when they purchase some thing. It is the purchase decision that reveals their interest in what you’re doing. It reveals a lot about who people are and what they actually say. Once you realize this, you make many di...

is academia toxic? Yes, it can be. But it’s more isolating and you’ll realize that people will not help you because they’re all self interested. That’s where you go. No problem. I could do this myself, and I could build boundaries around myself to make me feel good. I can be a decent human being, and do the things that decent human beings do. I could do simple things in my life that are good for m...

The amount of work that goes into a research paper is unwieldy. To actually do a good job, you will have to do an extraordinary amount of work that most people would not be willing to do. You will likely feel overwhelmed with the amount of work that you have to do. The only way that you can get up is to stop worrying about the amount of work that you have to do.

Let’s be practical, and find opportunities that suits you and allow you to be a better person. Stop worrying about whether there are macro conditions that are good or bad, and just start focusing on how you can be a better person.

It’s important to remember that topics become very hot in science. There are bandwagon facts that happen in science, as with every other arena as life. People jump on things as they think that they can benefit from. I have realized that there’s often little benefit to do so, and perhaps the best thing is to just keep going forward, and pursuing the things that matter to you.

I’m grateful for the fact that you’re following along with the R3ciprocity project. i’m grateful for the fact that you can see how things are built to come from nothing, and you just simply keep going no matter how it feels. My ultimate goal is to encourage more people to take leaps of faith and solve problems that they know that exist, no matter how they feel and how big the problem is.

most days I don’t feel like getting up and going and going. Most days I have to go through the motions. But, the important thing that I remember is a start thinking about what is the alternative? I think about all those other people that live a different life than me, and I realize that everybody has a certain amount of drudgery in their life. I realize that we are all struggling with things. I re...

I am wrong most of my life. But that’s OK, that means you’re getting up and trying, which is more right than most people.

I tried to be is open as I possibly can about the problems that Wen experiences when you’re creating some thing if you don’t have enough resources for it.

popular culture has a stance against higher education. I walk you through how you might think about us, and how we might actually change this, and I think at the heart of it requires a great deal more innovation and education.

Thinking about personal investing is an important way to do well, and it is equally difficult to actually do. It is easy if you have this the right thought process, but it’s actually very difficult when you’re not thinking for long-term benefits.

if you think of your license, a symbol action back to the bees, most people do as well, it’s not necessarily as daunting, then is if you if you your life relative to other people. We all do you many of the same things, and it’s just a matter of changing around how much do you have each particular activity, or is he decompose your life? It feels more forgiving and it also gives you a lot more humil...

it’s always the same story. Some Nobel laureate wins the prize, and then they talk about how they couldn’t find a job when they first started. If this was a one off story, I would be more in line to think that this is an outlier. But, this is not a one story. We need to start encouraging people, and we need to change the system.

Almost all parts of society has difficult topics that people don’t like discussing. You’re likely not going to understand everything, and the only way that you’re going to understand the world is if you are part of it.

Just about the only ways that I know those people to move up is repetition and education. Remember to repeat.

Focus on the least amount that you actually need. This allows you to break free from the constraint of performance. You don’t necessarily need to always perform at the highest possible amount, you can do OK when you realize that you don’t need as much as what the world suggest you need.

The most important way that we can teach good #science: “Take your time, and slow down.” Having robust insights is important, and science is slow. Taking your time is part of the process. The only way that you’re going to have robust insights is if you actually slow it down. Rushing will lead you to do things that you may find problematic in the future. Take your time with everything that you do....

and give you encouragement to just pursue things that you enjoy. I think we get fixated on the idea that we should have some sort of career to show that we are successful. But, much of the best things that we do have a little to do with those things within our career. Further, often, what are the most enjoyable and interesting things that people do in their career are often non-typical. These enjo...

we face in a Normas problem in research. On one hand, doing research is terrible. It’s not fun, and nobody really explains to you. How do you actually do it. On the other hand, the benefit of doing research is vast and has enormous impacts beyond the researcher themselves. How do you actually reconcile this? I think this provides a good case for the reciprocity project. If we can simply change the...

I talk about pursuing truth, and what it means to pursue truth. I talk about the challenges of pursuing truth and culture that often does not want to hear that truth. Ultimately, you have to pursue truth that makes the world a little bit better, whether other people understand or think I’m about truth in the same way, it doesn’t necessarily preclude you from pursuing that truth anyways.

Nobody will care and you will make lots of mistakes. How do you get people to care? You don’t. You be nice and smile, and maybe perhaps people will get it.

Being happy and healthy requires you to manage your life. It requires you to often say no to some things, and spending time and resources on things that many people will find frivolous. Requires you to think about those so-called wasted resources in a way that you can justify them. It requires you to know that every day is not going to be happy, and you take steps towards making yourself happy and...
