1. Now let’s speak about science. What scientific achievements do you find very important?
A lot of inventions have been made during the history of mankind. And almost all of them have come to us in the refine form. All of them have made a great breakthrough in science and our life. It is very difficult to identify the most significant achievements, as each of them influenced on the development. I will try to name the most important in my view opening. First of all, it's Paper. It was one of the first inventions in the world( ca AD 100). We even do not think about what a long way paper passed to reach us in the form we use now. The following but not less important is writing ( ca 3000 BC) We can’t imagine our daily life without it. We can always find sth written everywhere. Now imagine how we would live without writing? I think it is impossible even to imagine it.
Maybe some people think that the wheel is an unnecessary invention. But it is not true. Without wheels, we would not be able to use most items. It is only a very small part of all human inventions. Of course our modern life is full of technological devices which are constantly improving. But we should not forget how it all began and we should thank scientists and inventors, because they make our lives easier.
2. Would you like to be a scientist? Why? Why not?
No, I don’t want to be a scientist. it is a very difficult, responsible and laborious profession. It requires a lot of perseverance. A scientist is a person who has to surrender completely to his work. It is often said that scientists are strange people, because they do not notice anything around. maybe it's true. I think I just could not bring any scientific matter to the end. I prefer to engage in different activities rather than spend half of my life working on the invention. So I do not want to be a scientist.
3. Give me some advice on how to become a good scientist.
First, you have to love what you do. Is it interesting to do what you do not like? of course not. Secondly you should be hard-working. After all, to achieve something you have to do a lot. Thirdly you have to be diligent. Perhaps not everything will turn out, but to achieve something, you have to try a lot. Fourthly, you must be purposeful. Sometimes you have to redo something many times, but the main thing that you set a goal and you are trying to achieve it.
