"In the spirit of keeping perspective on your graduate career, I offer a little food for thought. As you read this book, remember and reflect on what a privilege it is to be in graduate school. Whether you are attending a public or a private university, taxpayers are subsidizing your education, as are individual and corporate foundations, alumni, and donors. Even if you pay your own tuition, it is only a fraction of the cost of your doctoral training. It is a privilege to be able to spend time reading the works of some of the greatest thinkers in your field, discussing important concepts, and writing about their work and your ideas. Please do not ever take this opportunity for granted; embrace this time and make the most of it. Enjoy and savor every moment, and then, in your own way, give back to others the privilege that you have received."
