Yatta !!

yatta
Question: Why research field? Why academic field?
Answer:
After days of thinking how to relax a predictor-corrector method,
and finally you came out with a mathematical theory.
You check with your simulation, and it works!
You can't wait till next week to share with your supervisor,
and other lab members who really know what the hell we are trying to do.
This is why I want to be in the research field, the feeling of Yatta !! (I did it !!).
Make something new from what you learn from the text books,
but the application is not being taught (at least we haven't see one yet).
Then you teach what you learnt to the others,
Not because you are paid to teach.
Not because that you think that it is a job with no stress.
Not because you are fu*king don't know what to do with your future,
and you become a teacher to torture the students.
I want to teach, because I love to (At least I think I do.).
