Abstract
When I read Tamer's introduction, talking about advice from senior researchers, I had to agree that I am now, indeed in that category. I am presently department chair and used to be vice-rector in the past, acting more like a manager than a researcher. However, I confess that I still have some small personal spaces in which I permit myself to feel like an enthusiastic young post-doc, stop reading documents and start thinking about new research issues. Actually, this is my first advice for those who are in their mid-career: do not just look ahead ("ad maiora" used to say in the ancient Roma), always keep within you the curiosity of the PhD student that you used to be.
