I think that you need to believe

But at the same time, I think it's important to not fall in love with your mistakes.

You know, that if something isn't working, you should let it go instead of trying to fix it.

Even though you feel that this is a mistake or you know that it's a mistake, instead of trying to fix it, you should let it go.

wrap it up and move on to something else, which is incredibly hard.

Yes.

And there is not a lot of room for true freedom and,

maybe at this certain degree.

So first you need to be trained, right?

It's not that scientists are just brilliant, amazing humans.

I mean, they just know and learn how... They know how to do science because they're trained in how to do science.

So that is important because I...

As someone who wants to definitely, I'm hoping, giving the message that this is for everybody, that there's this notion of scientists being super smart people, that's definitely not true.

It is a method that you learn to solve a problem.

That's really what science is.

And some are really good at it, and they get better at it under really good guidance, maybe good mentorship.

And ultimately, everyone finds their own style of problem solving and what sort of problems they solve.

But I have not met a scientist that finds their own pursuit boring.

I can see the reason behind it, or perhaps there's, again, a fear of failure that can be a major determinant of that pattern, right?

So you try to do something that is accepted by others because that's maybe unlikely to give results right away.
