Scientific research: Keeping an open mind

In scientific research, communication is very important, but we often find that Chinese scholars are not very fond of communication. At the meeting, few Chinese scholars discussed the issue together or raised a question. In the discussion class, students are less likely to ask questions or exchange ideas and ideas with each other. On the contrary, we see that the exchanges in the research groups in Europe and America are very intense, even offensive. After the Chinese students go to the society, there are good and bad things to do. As can be seen from them, the students who do better are often the students who are willing to communicate, however, the students who are very self are less than ideal. So what does that mean? This is the manifestation of the open inadequacy of our mind. In fact, whether it is scientific research, or life, I hope we all have to have an open mind, and has been able to keep to the old. The open mind has the following benefits:

The greatest benefit of an open mind is the ability to keep up with new ideas . The biggest obstacle to the scientific research ability of Chinese scholars comes from the relatively few feasible ideas. As a result, many scholars in the discussion together, no one is willing to throw their own ideas, for fear of being stolen. As a result, academics are either talking about gossip or discussing the details of others ' results. Don't we say the idea, we really have a good harvest? I believe that the human brain needs a certain degree of intensity of use, and constantly output ideas, in order to make room for later ideas. Like a chicken coop, a hen would not lay eggs in most cases if she saw an egg in a chicken coop. The brain is also, if one thinks (in fact, the thought that seemed precious at the time, nothing more than a piece of paper, not a great achievement), the idea of a new idea is taken up, and it is naturally suppressed. In my own research in the pursuit of such a point of view, in the exchange with any academic peers, never conservative , what ideas as far as possible to speak out. Even if the idea is stolen, it is better for the world to have a good idea.

Second, the open mind can attract new knowledge and ideas. communication is always mutual, and one-way communication is often not sustainable. Only everyone can come up with their own ideas to be able to collide. In fact, as long as we come up with our own ideas, right or wrong, perhaps others will come up with their own ideas, so that the participants are affected by the idea of collision, perhaps all have a harvest. There is a metaphor that two people take out an apple, the result is two apples, if you come up with two ideas, it is likely to get far more than two ideas . If we do not want to come out, we expect to hear other people's ideas, it is a kind of greed, it is impossible to achieve, unless it is the relationship between teachers and students.

Third, The open heart can get real friends. Academia is also a society, some friends are still very good feeling. If we have an open mind, it is easy for us to be accepted by others and to be treated with sincerity. Such friends are more favorable for academic growth and more reliable than the so-called friends who come together because of their interests. Someone will help you when you are in trouble. If we don't have an open mind, we can only get the results of a loner.

Four, the open mind can bring a very good small environment. the small environment of scientific research is composed of people who often get together, if there is not enough open mentality between people, we need to figure out and even guess, that this relationship is more fragile, also more people tired. Human energy is limited, if everyone in our small environment is an open mind, then we can avoid a lot of misunderstanding, can also release more energy, to think about real scientific research problems.

The open mind can improve people's learning ability. the openness of the mind is also manifested in the ability to accept the opinions of others and to accept new knowledge. If we stand on our laurels and hold on to an existing acre of land, and despise other knowledge, we cannot say that there is an open mind. In the face of new knowledge, new ideas can be effectively absorbed, which is the performance of high learning ability. Experience increases as you grow older, but experience is only part of the skill and not a complete substitute for learning. The ability to learn is attenuated by the growth of age in most of us. People often say, live to learn old, words easy to say, but how to live until the old learning. I think that if we can always keep an open mind, then we don't have to worry about the ability of our learning to become worse with age. In fact, the Real university, but also live to learn the old.

Six, the open mind can bring a good mentality. because of their own ideas to pay no expectations, no prejudice to the ideas of others, which makes our mentality will be a lot of peace, not to appear similar to jealousy and other bad mentality. And the mentality is very important to us in dealing with many things in the research life. We often say that an idea away, one of the thoughts is often influenced by our mentality. good mentality, the idea is often also positive, bad mentality, the idea of natural also a bit bad taste. Keeping an open mind is like letting your mind be a constantly flowing river that never rots and stays healthy. Then our behavior will be healthier and, of course, will ultimately make our bodies healthier as well.

Open Mind for scientific research is crucial, open mind can bring good ideas, good friends, good environment, better learning ability and good mentality. Recognizing the importance of openness and practicing it will get a lot of rewards. sincerely hope that they can also really carry out the concept of the end.
