Trapped in office because of a thunder storm, but I was lucky to capture this gorgeous moment

The prestigious PI said: That's because if you kept your bench neat and tidy, people would start piling up their shxt on it.

While still learning how to play badminton, a retired prof. came and commented on me: you are very bad, only 20% of me. Another young prof. says: you got great potential, you can definitely be better! Both are true but I feel encouraged from the latter. Isn't education the same?
