I was born so I can bring light and solace to others. I could not claim that I do that every time. In the work that I do, research was once likened into a light that provides us a sense of direction. To an extent that is what I can do in the job that I perform in the workplace, for my students, co-workers, and research consumers or beneficiaries by helping them make informed decisions using research results as an empirical basis.
If there is something that I would like to be remembered for, it is that of being a patient worker. God knows the many things that I have endured so I can be what I am now and where I am now. Was too patient working on researches I was tasked to do, going far beyond the expectations of my institution or of the funding agency; I had the same patience exerted over the long years it took me finishing my graduate program and dissertation.
But good things are worth doing and they are worth doing well. That is how I would want to be remembered. Someone who took the pains of doing things—whether research-related or not—without giving up, despite the long hours or even years of doing and finishing them. And someone who would always tell the story afterwards. As you can see, I also keep a personal blog site, which I call Bobbetcentrism (www.bobbetcentrism.com), where I write my daily travails and victories as stories or as personal narratives. Hence, I want to be remembered as a storyteller as well.
