is it so easy to give up? seriously i think people who are not perservering are definitely not suited to do research. Just when you face many possible errors in your results you would advise to stop the research and adopt a whole new way of doing it all over again, without even trying to solve the problems? what is it with this 'give up halfway' attitude?if that is the attitude one has in life, the person will neva succeed.
To me research is venturing unfamiliar grounds, its all about trail-blazing..it is expected that we do not know how we are going to get to somewhere but we just follow by faith and with perserverance and luck, we get there!even in times when we do not get there, i always believe that we will discover new routes to other places. Even if we get lost, we will leave behind traces such that others do not follow our footsteps. Obstacles are so expected in research and the joy comes from being able to overcome it, and overcome the situation. Don't you think the more obstacles there are throughout the journey, the more we will be able to appreciate the fruit of hard labour?This is my passion for research.
i agree that some people are just lucky. beginner's luck or whatever luck you can call it. some are just able to make discovery by mistake and sheer luck. BUT has anyone thought of the hard work put in behind this whole thing?you may question if there is. but if you think hard enough, the researcher would definitely have worked very hard trying to get to destination A, but through all the failed attempts and wrong routes taken, he discovers a new destination B! yes, he did not put in effort in trying to discover destination B and it was by sheer luck that he did. This is because he was only focusing on destination A. despite discovering B, he still has yet to get the A! it is still a setback in the discovery of A. but like what i mentioned previously, sometimes along the way, we do find new routes to new places, be it through luck or anything out of our control. Finding B is a little side-tracked reward for going on the journey of uncertainty, obstacles and rough terrains.
knowing that i am such a pathetic risk taker, research is probably the most high risk level thing i have ever done in my life.
