Zenek: are you coming to the conference in Brno in June?
Jenny: I would like to, but I've no idea what I could present there
Marcus: really? all your amazing research about the medical discourse
Oscar: and especially the history of psychiatry in Italy
Zenek: you still have some time to think about it
Jenny: Do you really think so guys?
Jenny: I really don't feel ready to show things to people
Zenek: Jen, you'll never be ready, this is how it works
Oscar: that's true. There's always something one can do better, improve, research more
Marcus: honestly Jenny, you've spent a year on it
Marcus: how long are you going to polish a chapter of your dissertation
Marcus: after all it's just ONE CHAPTER
Jenny: I know, I'm such a miserable perfectionist
Marcus: just stop it, tell yourself: ENOUGH!
Jenny: but I'm afraid that somebody will point out all the shortcomings.
Marcus: some shortcomings will always be there, but mostly you'll be the only one knowing them
Marcus: after a year of intensive work on it, you're probably the best expert in it in the world
Jenny: you're right, I'll think about the submission and let you know guys
Zenek: great!
Zenek: good job Marcus!
Jenny did research on the medical discourse and the history of psychiatry in Italy. She's not ready to present her work to people. She spent a year on one chapter of her dissertation. Zenek, Marcus and Oscar encourage her to participate in the conference in Brno in June.
