Seven Points

The seven secrets of highly successful PhD students

1. Care and maintenance of your supervisors
2. Write and show as you go: This is show and tell, not hide and seek
3. Be realistic: It's not a Nobel Prize
4. Say no to distractions: Even the fun ones and the ones you think you must do
5. It's a job: That means working nine to five but you get holidays
6. Get help: You are not an owner-operator single person business
7. You can do it: A PhD is about intelligence and persistence
