Abstract

I certainly entered academic life with an underdeveloped and naïve view of what was to come. In this essay I have tried to give my younger self 10 nuggets of acquired wisdom for how to live an academic life based on what I have learned since starting graduate school in 1969. If any of these 10 observations makes sense to you, I will consider this exercise to have been a success.
