Supervising

A scientific supervisor is a person who can combine at least two qualities of almost equal importance: being a scientist and being a supervisor. But actually there is one more, not less significant quality implied by this phrase: being a pedagog. Only the harmony of these characteristics can succeed in giving excellent results, thus it can be fruitful for both, the scientific supervisor himself and his post-graduate. So, being a scientist implies the availability of the following characteristics:

a	original and sustained thinking “No problem can stand the assault of sustained thinking” (Voltaire)
b	inquiring mind “The incomparable enjoyment in finding exact answers to all questions”
c	purposefulness and persistence “Great works are performed not by strength, but perseverance” (Samuel Johnson)
d	perfectionism “There is always a better way … your challenge is to find it”.

Being a supervisor implies:

a	excellence excellence can be attained if you: - care more than others think is wise; - risk more than others think is safe; - dream more than others think is practical; - expect more than others think is possible.
b	responsibility and self-demand “Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody else expects of you. Never excuse yourself” (Henry Ward Beecher)
c	discipline, organization and consistency
d	self-assessment and reflexivity
e	self-confidence and optimism “Failure is success if we learn from it” (Malcolm Forbs)

Being a pedagog implies:

a	being a personality, bright, free and assertive;
b	being kind, careful, friendly;
c	being indispensable for the pupils;
d	being able to reveal the creative abilities of every pupil.
