In a rush of academia, don't forget to enjoy life, family time, good food, outdoor activities, traveling, etc. If you are thinking to do it all after you finish a/an experiment, paper, school, Ph.D., Postdoc, etc., so remember this is just one life, & time is not coming back.

I've said before, you need 3 things for a successful postdoctoral fellowship. 1. A mentor who cares about your success. 2. An interesting project you can start your career on. 3. The resources to do a thorough job on that project.
