Those entering science need to remember that the work of a scientist requires maximum effort and concentration of all mental and physical forces, constant and persistent work on oneself. The work of a scientist is not lighter than that of a steelmaker or a miner. It is also necessary for society, like the labor of a grain grower or a laborer. Therefore, a scientist needs to work continuously, systematically to improve the methods of his work.

However, hard work alone is not enough. You need to be inquisitive. “Without curiosity,” L. Landau wrote, “normal human development, in my opinion, is unthinkable. The absence of this precious quality is visible in any encounter with a scanty intellect, with a boring old man of any age. » Not to lose the great gift of childhood — the ability to be surprised — for a very long time — this is also a great human blessing. Unfortunately, not everyone has it. Moreover, we must develop these qualities already from school.

Curiosity always borders on enthusiasm. A scientist is also a keen person, infinitely devoted to science, an enthusiast of his work. In this regard, he is always and everywhere absorbed in his work, in love with her. It is difficult to say that, while working with enthusiasm, he rests and that while resting, he works. He is always at the military post of science, if something does not distract him greatly.

It is necessary to love science very much, to be infinitely devoted to it, to merge with it into a single whole, so that science with its joys and failures (and there is much more of the second than the first) brings to the researcher great joy, high pleasure, completely captures with its unknown and boundless perspective. And the sooner such a meeting between a young scientist and science takes place, the better for science and the future scientist. More than one creative biography of great scientists can serve as a shining example.
