So I got the good news last Friday from the IFAC System identification conference, that my paper has been accepted for presentation. Although my professor has confirmed that he will not be able to attend the conference, I'm pretty determine not to miss this opportunity to present at an international event within the System Identification Community. This has given me so much motivation to redouble my efforts in pursuing the objectives set out for the completion of my research. And if enough funding is obtained, I will be able to go with my lovely wife... #crossingfingers Pretty exciting times ahead...

They say that you need to have a vision for yourself. You need to have intrinsic motivation that transcends your current reality and even beyond what makes sense to others around you. I've decided to put together a control system journal paper by using just 20 hours. Wait... what!?! Yep. That's right. Why not? If you try you'll never know! A famous author once said. "It's not what the vision is, it's what the vision does." Even if I don't pull if off, or the submission is rejected and thrown into the trash, the experience will stay and boy will it motivate me to try again! Aluta Continua!
