This girl has made academia her life.

While she may have an above-average IQ (intelligence quotient), her EQ (emotional quotient) is without question underdeveloped: absolutely no ability whatsoever to relate to her fellow (wo)man.

You must never become so caught up in your academic life that you become unrelatable.

If I could stress two attributes they would be kindness and sincerity.


Sonnet 94, William Shakespeare

They that have power to hurt and will do none, 
That do not do the thing they most do show, 
Who, moving others, are themselves as stone, 
Unmoved, cold, and to temptation slow, 
They rightly do inherit heaven’s graces 
And husband nature’s riches from expense; 
They are the lords and owners of their faces, 
Others but stewards of their excellence. 
The summer’s flower is to the summer sweet, 
Though to itself it only live and die, 
But if that flower with base infection meet, 
The basest weed outbraves his dignity: 
   For sweetest things turn sourest by their deeds; 
   Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds.
