My Reflections

As i progress into the secondary school science system, i get to learn much more things. My vision of science is broadened and many question marks can be explained with a scientific theory.
I feel that in order to ace in science, you must keep an open mind to it. Do not think that it is impossible and do not restrict yourself. Aim high, work it out. You must have great curiosity and interest in science too. Nothing is impossible. As long as there is a will, there is a way. Back then, did anyone even predict that Albert Einstein will be able to generate the formula E=MC2? No, when he was in school, he was often laughed at for being stupid. Now, no one will say he is.
Resilience is also a key factor. You can have a high IQ and great curiosity and creativity and interest, but if one failed experiment is able to cripple your courage and you give up, probably you have lost a very good opportunity to claim yourself the proud inventor of something spectacular. When other people come up with the idea later, you will definitely chide yourself, for being so foolish in giving up the golden opportunity. Dont live life of misery and regret!
Look at Thomas Edison, the inventor of so many items useful to the society. He had tried over a thousand times over an experiment before finally achieving success! Once, he carried out his experiment and almost caught a train with fire! He was given a tight slap on his face, what even worse was, he turned deaf from the impact of the slap. However, nothing hindered his path. He lighted up his way, just as he lighted up the world with his improvisation of the light bulb.

As he said, success is made up of 99% effort and 1% talent. If you got the IQ, the curiosity, the interest, do not waste it! Work hard, dare to aim, and with 99% effort, you can be guaranteed 100% success!!
