Message
If you do something, I think you should enjoy it. Research will become very fun, depending on your way. After long and careful thoughts, when your thought is proved right, you will get a wonderful moment. That’s because you are the only person in the world who knows it, no matter how small that discovery is.
Research is done not alone, but created in a small society of laboratory or research team. During research, we often face hard time, for example no good results repeatedly, and are often worried alone. However, someone always notice your efforts. Therefore, I’m sure that people who sincerely work, and people who kindly help other people, will get a chance eventually.
