KARMA

What comes around goes around.

My journey to get the final degree was a pleasant one. No major obstacles, no hatreds towards anyone - none to my supervisor at all. I would say that the whole process was a smooth one. I got through each process only once. The smoothness and pleasantness of the whole experience I mostly attribute it to karma. I thought to believe in such a thing was not logical but today two of my colleagues believe in it too.

While supervising my undergraduate students in completing their academic projects I made the process easy, simple and pleasant. I told them what they need to do in a nice way , 'Id joke with them and did not ask them to do things I know they are not capable of. I was treated the same way by my supervisor and within the stipulated time I graduated.

Three of my friends have not completed their Phd. One started in 2002, the other in 2003 and another in 2005. I know for a fact they did not make the experience pleasant ones for their students. I know one would spent hours just correcting each and every mistake, the other would only give low grades to students despite their effort and originality and the other demanded things that were impossible for their students.

So my theory shared by others too.
