Our imagination gives us a fake understanding of the world and has almost nothing to do with reality. In areas where we lack experiences we tend to extrapolate far away from reality. Today I received a PhD offer, and I felt like I didn’t know enough for this PhD offer, but I forgot to remember about all those years where I wrked extremely hard to get here, those nights when I didn’t sleep to finish coursework and those sacrifices of 65 hours work weeks.
