What is impostor syndrome<\/a>?<\/strong>\u00a0 It is said that even Albert Einstein experienced this before regardless of his astounding achievement.\u00a0 But, you don’t have to be Einstein to experience impostor syndrome.\u00a0 It exists in any high achievers who have self-doubt about themselves.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

Many studies have been conducted on this since psychologists explored this phenomenon back in the 1970s even.\u00a0 Many articles have been written to give some tips<\/a><\/strong><\/span> that people can use to overcome this phenomenon such as what is proposed by Valerie Ashby<\/a> (who is highly accomplished academician).\u00a0 There are also some articles written by graduate students to document their journey of experiencing impostor syndrome as post graduate students such as by Adam Persky.\u00a0\u00a0<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Why do I care to search information about this?\u00a0<\/strong> After I finished my Latihan Ikhtisas, some seniors told me that I should gear up my efforts to climb the social ladder of the academia.\u00a0 Rather than being a “normal” senior lecturer, it is impertinent for me to prove that I deserve to be promoted to Associate Professor.\u00a0 The thing is, I have this idea of what constitute an Associate Professor and a Professor.\u00a0 I don’t think I have what it takes to become one now.\u00a0 But I know some might think otherwise because they are not experiencing impostor syndrome.\u00a0 They are Jack of all trade, master of none.\u00a0 I want to enhance my skills.\u00a0 This would take me years to do so.\u00a0 I know some use political measure to climb the academia social hierarchy, but I am not them.\u00a0 I know where I stand.\u00a0 Being true to myself is not easy.\u00a0 I know.\u00a0 But, like Dr Seuss said <\/span><\/p>\n

“Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind do not matter and those who matter do not mind”\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Note<\/strong>: I know that I like to use Dr Seuss’s quotes.\u00a0 Sound childish, right?\u00a0 Well, everybody has his own opinion.\u00a0 I respect that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
