TU Delft - Student Development - UNLOCKING… Bertus Beaumont - 3/10

Fascinated by life... What is life? In this very personal and meaningful interview Bertus Beaumont shares his fascination for life (biologically speaking), and how he learned through his own experiences with feelings of failure and procrastination that a successful career does not only depend on your accomplishments, but also on the way you deal with personal challenges. You cannot plan your life and the challenges you might run into, but you can learn how to deal with them. And the younger the better, according to Bertus. Dr Bertus Beaumont is Experimental evolutionary microbiologist at TU Delft. UNLOCKING … Educators of TU Delft Do you know your educators well? What drives them? What is their vision on learning, self-development and well-being? And what lessons have they learned so far? Through a series of 10 interviews with educators from the TU Delft, Career & Counselling Services aims to shed a more positive light on well-being. The personal stories and insights shared by those who are often only seen in their position as teacher, scientist or executive may show that the struggles and doubts you may have as a student are an inevitable component of your growth process. The stories provide insight into the various ways you may bounce back, they show where these people get their resilience, what and who has made them stronger. It sometimes takes years before you realize something, and occasionally there is a flash of insight. Examples of experience may help speed up the learning process, and sometimes make it a little less painful. And there is no path that is better than another; hopefully at least one of the paths resonates with you.
