博士入党自传

　　iplan to begin my ph. d. degree study in your biophysics program in the fall term of 1995 and wish to obtain the degree within five years or so .

　　biophysics develops fast with the fruits of modern physics and chemistry. there is a wide range of fascinating questions in understanding life systems. during these years‘ study at tsinghua university, i constantly tried to improve myself through independent reading. this kept me well informed of the latest development in biophysics which attracts me a lot.

　　e. schrodinger‘s famous work "what is life" let me think a lot of questions in biophysics. up to now, physicist have made great success in studying simple periodic crystals, but for the complex biological structures possess both aperiodicity and order such as dna, there still exist many challenges. why these aperiodic matter can control the life strictly and precisely? why a small amount of nature catalyst-enzyme can be far more efficient than plenty of man-made catalysts? is the growth of life determined by genetic materials or by self-assembly or by both of them? from the book "liquid crystals and biological structures" written by glenn h.brown and jerome j.wolken, i got deeper understanding of biological structures which possess both mobility and long-range structure order, respond to a variety of external stimuli just like the properties of liquid crystals. the striking architecture at the molecular level shows there is a common physical-chemical origin for all life systems. the oriented molecules in liquid crystals furnish an ideal medium for catalytic action, particularly of the complex type needed to account for growth and reproduction. water, especially the weak hydrogen bond plays critical role in all organism. it determines the protein folding, stabilizes the double helix structure of dna. if we substitute deuterium for hydrogen, the biological system may be destroyed.

　　某公司一个重要部门的经理要离职了，董事长决定要找一位才德兼备的人来接替这个位置，但连续来应征的几个人都没有通过董事长的“考试”。

　　这天，一位三十来岁的留美博士前来应征，董事长却通知他凌晨三点去他家考试。这位青年于是凌晨三点就去按董事长家的铃，却未见人来应门，一直到八点钟，董事长才让他进门。

　　考的题目是由董事长口述，董事长问他：“你会写字吗？”年轻人说：“会。”

　　董事长拿出一张白纸说：“请你写一个白饭的‘白‘字。”

　　他写完了，却等不到下一题，疑惑地问：“就这样吗？”

　　董事长静静地看着他，回答：“对！考完了！”

　　年轻人觉得很奇怪，这是哪门子的考试啊？

　　第二天，董事长在董事会上宣布，该名年轻人通过了考试，而且是一项严格的考试！

　　他说明：“一个这么年轻的博士，他的聪明与学问一定不是问题，所以我考其它更难的。”又接着说：“首先，我考他牺牲的精神，我要他牺牲睡眠，半夜三点钟来参加公司的应考，他做到了；我又考他的忍耐，要他空等五个小时，他也做到了；我又考他的脾气，看他是否能够不发飙，他也做到了；最后，我考他的谦虚，我只考堂堂一个博士五岁小孩都会写的字，他也肯写。一个人已有了博士学位，又有牺牲的精神、忍耐、好脾气、谦虚，这样才德兼备的人，还有什么好挑剔的呢？我决定任用他！”

　　点睛：1、“眼高”还要“手低”，当你立志要大干一番时，不妨先放下身段。2、有时，使你走向成功的不仅仅是渊博的知识，更重要的是你的“气度”—“气度决定了高度”。3、你对一些所谓的细节、小节的态度，往往左右着你未来的成就。
