## ABCDE Principles
This is the most important lesson I learned from Prof. Yuan Xie. The ABCDE provides guidlines for how to become an excellent researcher. Always remember to take a look back at these principles, after you run for a long research journey.
* A: Assessment (Critical Thinking)
* B: Big Vision (Visionary Thinking)
* C: Communication (Logical Thinking)
* D: Design (Creative Thinking)
* E: Execution (Engineering Thinking)

## Pyramid Principle

## Deep Work

## Others

## ABCDE Principles
This is the most important lesson I learned from Prof. Yuan Xie. The ABCDE provides guidlines for how to become an excellent researcher. Always remember to take a look back at these principles, after you run for a long research journey.
* A: Assessment (Critical Thinking). For mature faculty, we have obtained much experience and resource. We should be able to judge the current research in our field, know the future direction, and invest our resouce to the future. Let's make more milestones.
* B: Big Vision (Visionary Thinking). For postdoc or young faculty, we should be able to make plans for a series of research works to build up our own name card. We are beginning to run small research groups. Teach students the CDE principles. 
* C: Communication (Logical Thinking). For senior Ph.D. students, we should learn to logically organize our paper and presentation for the best understanding from readers and audiences. This is one of the most important abilities of Ph.D. students. Learn the Pyramid Principle. Once we obtain all the CDE abilities, congratulations, the Ph.D. degree is coming.  
* D: Design (Creative Thinking). For third-year Ph.D. students, we should understand how to extract scientific problems from a given topic, propose techniques targeting the problems, and design experiments to effectively evaluate the techniques.
* E: Execution (Engineering Thinking). For first-second-year Ph.D. students, we may be entering a new research field or working with seniour students. Quickly learn all the basic techniques for simulation and design.
