You have to be curious. |
| 00:06 → 00:12 |
And you have to be willing to ask really dumb questions. |
| 00:12 → 00:17 |
And I find that that’s something that a lot of students I teach at Caltech, |
| 00:17 → 00:19 |
where we get very bright students, |
| 00:19 → 00:22 |
they’re all panicked of asking questions because they don’t want to look stupid... |
| 00:22 → 00:25 |
...in front of their fellow students. |
| 00:25 → 00:30 |
That’s a terrible trait. You have to be willing to ask stupid questions. |
| 00:33 → 00:36 |
And I think you have to also be able to... |
| 00:36 → 00:41 |
...attack a problem that you really believe in, because science is really difficult... |
| 00:41 → 00:47 |
...and unless you’re doing something that you believe can make a difference... |
| 00:47 → 00:52 |
...and that you’re really willing to be engaged in 100 per cent, it’s not worth it. |
| 00:52 → 00:56 |
You might as well do something else. |
| 00:58 → 01:05 |
So ask good questions, trust your instincts and work on a problem that you deeply care about. |
