Things I wish I'd known before I started my career: 1) It's more important to be reliable than smart. 2) Hard work is rewarded over time, never quickly. 3) Hard work brings more luck. 4) Don't worry about 'where this is going'. Keep at it. 5) Quit if you are not appreciated.

While being smart can contribute to one’s success, I have learned over time that the things that truly make a difference are: - a positive attitude - a growth mindset - persistence - resilience - reliability

I get a lot of reviews that say my work is not novel and I bet I'm not alone. It's always frustrating because I see novelty where the reviewer doesn't. Rather than rebut every critique, I've written a blog post to help reviewers think about novelty. perceiving-systems.blog/en/news/novelt…

An amazing read! I hope future reviewers consider the points mentioned in this article.
