My tips for succeeding in academia on a day-to-day basis: 1. Try to be kind to people. 2. Don’t panic.

I really wish this were the way most people succeed. There are some lovely successful people out there, don't get me wrong. But jeez there's also plenty of really successful people who are seriously not interested in being kind.

This is going to sound a boastful, but a few times in the past year I've had people say explicitly that they really appreciated me giving them help. I don't think I did that much, but it made me realise how little help they were getting from other "colleagues"

To me, trying to be helpful and nice isn't an option. Other people help me out loads, so I try and help people back wherever I can.

Same here but also I take no shit because a lot people pretend to be nice and then eg spread nasty rumours, try to steal ideas, etc. So yeah, nice but also aware there's pretty much the worst people out there too.
