Incubation, Saturation and...

Epiphany!!

Yohanes Surya is among the most prominent Professors in Physics in Indonesia. His contribution to Science and Physics are uncountable to the country. In his hand, few countrymen bagged medals from International Physics Olympic.

I met him only once (hmm 7 years ago?) but I secretly admire him (ouw). Hehe basically I always admire smart people. Smart people who are humble, 'human' and normal.

In the article that I linked above, he mentioned three stages of thinking as formulated by one physician named Helmholtz.
- Incubation
- Saturation
- Enlightenment

So indeed, after we reach rock bottom then we will find something. Indeed the 'saturation' stage is inevitable if we want to achieve something.

So don't ever give up, guys!! Especially those doing his/her PhD.

Actually, I am still looking for an article about him. I remember finding it once. About what? Hahaha don't laugh, but I remember he mentioned in one of interviews about his secret in being able to live healthily and in top form though he sleeps only 3 hours everyday. Was it some fruit juice concoction? I think I need it...

Time to sleep now. It's 4.30 am now. My fault. I drank coffee at midnight (third cup for yesterday), thinking I would need the caffeine to finish my code. I did finish, I know I should continue with the report straight away but... too lazy. Tired. BORED. But I had not been sleepy yet.

That's why you see some posting tonight...
Catch up again with you guys, some other day...
