Good, Not Perfect
Good is the standard you need to meet for your thesis and your viva.
- You don’t need to have thought every thought.
- You don’t need to have followed every idea.
- You don’t need to have an answer for every question.
- You need to write a good thesis but it could have typos despite your best efforts.
- You need to be ready to engage with every question but that could still mean saying “I don’t know” sometimes.
- You need to get ready for your viva but you don’t need to be perfect.
How did you get this far? By being good.
Keep doing that.
