1/ For every idea I have that actually works when researching and developing DeOldify, many, many more fail. One of the most important skills I've had to develop over the past year which is very different from software engineering is getting used to being wrong as the norm.

2/ It's one thing to be wrong occasionally (as in software engineering) and to swallow your pride, correct course and move on. But having that be the norm can really be demoralizing.

3/ It's tempting to fall in love with ideas and to start looking for evidence that you're right (confirmation bias) instead of trying to uncover the very likely scenario that you're wrong. This is a constant battle for me. I'd imagine this is true for others as well.

4/ I'd say the value of the "emotional intelligence" component of research and venturing into the unknown isn't something I've heard talked about much but it's very real to me.

Replying to @citnaj
One of the reasons I got into research is because of it forces one to be "emotionally intelligent". For someone as emotional as me, this was a big challenge, and I have only recently begun to get a handle on it.

I didn't do it for that reason (didn't really know that was such a big component of it), but I'm glad I did for that benefit!
