Hi Chengyu Yang,Below is some of my opinion. I am sorry if anyone feel this offensive
Not only can you feel helpless in your research. Everyone does have the same feeling when you start doing thing absolutely new to you. Prof. Baroni is absolutely right. This is an only way to get over your helplessness. Trying, reading, doing experiments, thinking critically your results, and after that, discussing your results (after you think critically and prepared your results very carefully) with your postdocs, your advisor? etc and someone else (like one in forum). You only know your direction to go when you spend a lot, I mean a lot of a lot of time of trying reading literature, thinking about your research and doing your experiment. Don?t ever think that research is something you can learn and master for a short time. If it is your career, it?s will be your whole life.

That's why I feel helpless sometimes. If I know in which direction should I work hard then i certainly would go. Thank you. Chengyu Yang MMAE, University of Central Florida,US 2011/10/24 Stefano Baroni <baroni at sissa.it> Dear chengyu yang: I am sorry to ask, but advice from this forum is important to help. Thanks for the appreciation, but remember that no forum is a real substitute for hard work ... Many of the questions that you (as well as many others) ask could be answered by yourself, just trying ... If you try and understand, then you wouldn't need to ask. If you do not understand, in spite of trying hard, then the answers to your legitimate (even more legitimate, after trying hard) questions would be much more instructive for you. Just a suggestion ...
