When the laureate gives insight by answering your query. Thank you @ardemp

We depend on external validation whether we admit it or not. After the @NobelPrize I feel more free, care less about external validation (duh!), and enjoy the process of discovery even more. In retrospect, I think I should have been able to achieve some of this without the Prize!

It bothers U
Then it hurts U
U try to overcome it
U realise things r beyond ur control
U feel terrible
It worsens
U become numb
U feel depressed&broken
U think it's end of the world
It takes time & one day you'll be out of it & you'll not remember how exactly it felt

#StayStrong

With so much happening around you, what's happening within you gets silenced and you become okay with things that you ain't okay with. Not sure if that's the power to let go or accept the differences or just a sign of being meekly submissive.

@TheIbrahimLab True. Thanks Ibrahim 😊

How do you face/overcome your fears (of doing experiments, trying something new, getting over a failed experiment or generally anything) when you know it's tough and you think you can't do it?
