Discovery

Wrote by oldwine, June, 26^th, 2007

Today i will say something about discovery. It is so important that there

 won’t this colorful world if no discoveries. Small discovery, such as 

  mp3, makes you happiness somewhat; middle discovery, such as

mobile phone, car and plane, introduce comfort living conditions to lots

of persons while large discovery, such as the structure of DNA, can

change the history thoroughly. But why i begin my conversation with

such a seemingly old topic? Is it occurred to suddenly?

The answer is yes. This noon when i eating in the restaurant in our

 institute, for the first time，i happened to find there was a roll of paper

hanging on the wall, just near the entrance of that restaurant. Then i kept

 asking myself, how could this happen? Why i have never noticed it

before? On my hesitation, i asked the one, just a stranger, sitting beside

me and eating his lunch, “how long has this roiled paper been there?”,

He looked at me astonishingly, “Is there a roll of paper there?”, Then,

during the course of my meal, i found there were only few persons go to

the roiled paper directly after finishing their lunch, which was sure of

cues of that roiled paper’s long time being stayed there.

From this insignificant thing, i can’t help thinking of that the same

things must be happened everyday in the research field. Lots of

important cues have been neglected by ourselves even though we are

 eager for them, so as a result, basic scientific problems may lose their

 answers by their hunters. Yes, to me, keep busy everyday, but gain

 nothing more meaningful, this may be the reason.

Discovery needs not only diligence, but also keen observation.
