Late this afternoon, a paraphrased coffee, conversation with my undergrad, internship, mentor.
Me: Yes, as an undergrad, I was always motivated to achieve the best grades possible, towards being accepted for a PhD program and then gaining a PhD.
Me: In hindsight, I could have been less aggressive, but I did not have the PhD yet.
Mentor: There is no such thing as a calm PhD.
