. of course, if it is easier course, should be 85.
I didn't finish that round, with 2 holes to play. and it was +15, say if i
par that both of those 2 holes, it would be a 87. without that 2 birdie, 89.
it was kind of mediocre round without those two lucky putts. In stroke play,
2 birdies only saved 2 strokes, but the feeling was much different than
just 2 strokes saving.

发帖数: 7030 | 6 这个我还是部分同意，主观判断的mediocre和客观存在的判断标准是相辅相成的，某种
程度上这就是我说self reinforcement的原因。
简单说的话，我们首先应该承认任何行业，包括scientist，都存在相当比例的
mediocre（这个不会因为基础研究的偶然性而有所不同，最多你可以说科学家有很大的
偶然性可以摆脱自身的mediocre)。而这些mediocre能够存在本身，就说明人们有足够
的理由继续留在一个让自己mediocre下去的职业里，这个理由可以是钱多，可以是清闲
，可以是有更多潜在的机会，甚至可以是经常吃好吃的，都行。我之前那贴的意思，就
是说科学家这门职业这些因素比较弱，因此让自己相信自己不是mediocre,或者自己这
门职业本质上就不可能trivial,或者自己很有机会摆脱mediocre，就会是一个重要的理
由。这就是我说的self reinforcement。
你说的那些意见其实反而提供了一个很好的证据。我这句话并不是说你mediocre而且自
恋，或者说凡是对自己的职业很骄傲的科学家都是自恋的mediocre，你不要误解，我讨

平庸的科学家很悲催，在我看来。。。(这也是我一直不太想真的做scientist的原因，

发帖数: 12367 | 10 其实你这也算self reinforcement的一种。
scientist不是非Einstein即Mediocre，
你自己也不要要求自己是Einstein, or you are mediocre.
虽然说不想做将军的士兵不是好士兵，不想拿诺贝尔奖的科学家不是好科学家，
但是，过于obsessed在里面反而给前进设置阻障。
换句话说，经常看到有考取一般大学而辍学的人在家消沉十几年的新闻，
其实，如果你笑话这样的故事，那也一定明白这种行为和天天因为没拿到
诺贝尔奖而自责而郁闷的人没啥本质区别。
一个scientist是否成功，其实是有标准的，H-index那篇文章不就说了么，
从博士毕业算起，H-index divided by the number of years如果大于1，
就可以认为是successful；大于2是outstanding；大于3是truly unique。
而且一个人的成功也是靠很多因素，其中机遇也是很重要的，
田中耕一和Chauvin拿诺贝尔奖前默默无闻，你可以说他们mediocre，
但他们做出的贡献却可以是诺贝尔奖级别的。

再说了，即便有工业界经历和两者均有的人也有一半让你留在学术界阿。
这里的爱因斯坦包括很多顶尖的科学家（Nobel laureates+NAS/NAE)，不单指他。
我觉得你的担心不必要。即便别人认为某某mediocre，也不等于他自己也这么认为阿。
一个人认为自己mediocre也没什么，反倒给自己更高的目标，去突破自己，
这种突破也是很愉快的阿。
如果想获得这种愉快，首先必须知道自己不是万能，
还要知道成功有很多因素，个人努力只是一部分而已，所谓“成事在天”了，
与自己过不去也就罢了，和老天过不去又何苦来哉？
我看到demoner说如果想mediocre的不要做scientist，
我赞同这句话，因为这个“想”字就意味着主动意愿，和“是不是mediocre”有区别，
即便是高智商条件好的人，如果主动放弃追求卓越，那当然是万万不可做scientist，
对自己，对科学，都是一种折磨。 |
