This quote reveals a lot about education and expectations from students. Throughout my high school years, all readings were so focused on symbolism and pointing out all of these parts of books and articles that in the grand scheme, didn't make a difference to the point of the article. When I arrived for my first year of university it was a shift I had to make, because reading was no longer so focused on these minute details but rather more about understanding the content that was being presented.

This is definitely frustrating, when you think it will go a certain way, and you're excited, to it not being anything like the way you planned and it is no longer fun. It is certainly relatable in many aspects, but I think it is important to see this coming from someone who is an academic higher up in the field. It is a strong reminder to push through, even when things may get tough.

This definitely shows his viewpoint, which aligns with mine. If we are able to deposit sources, and create a more efficient and helpful research platform, it will help the majority of people out.

I think that this is a good idea because it leaves some discretion to the researcher as to what they want to be published. On the other hand however, I can see how this may not be the best idea, because as readers using the source/research, it would be hard to understand what is and isn't included.

I really like this quote. It's a good reminder that a lot of the time we undermine our own work, when in reality it is actually good and useful for others. We don't tend to see the hard work and time put into our own research until others point it out.
