[交流] 【文档】(转贴)Advice to a Young Scientist

Advice to a Young Scientist

Dr. Edsger W. Dijkstra was one of the most famous Computer Scientists.  He wrote a famous “advice to a young scientist”, which is transcribed below  I believe there is a lot of wisdom in this advice, and it is applicable not just to scientists but everyone striving to become his/her best:

    Raise your standards as high as you can live with, avoid wasting your time on routine problems, and always try to work as closely as possible at the boundary of your abilities. Do this because it is the only way of discovering how that boundary should be moved forward.

  We all like our work to be socially relevant and scientifically sound. If we can find a topic satisfying both desires, we are lucky; if the two targets are in conflict with each other, let the requirement of scientific soundness prevail.

  Never tackle a problem of which you can be pretty sure that (now or in the near future) it will be tackled by others who are, in relation to that problem, at least as competent and well-equipped as you are.

  Write as if your work is going to be studied by a thousand people.

  Don’t get enamoured with the complexities you have learned to live with (be they of your own making or imported). The lurking suspicion that something could be simplified is the world’s richest source of rewarding challenges.

  Before embarking on an ambitious project, try to kill it.

  Remember that research with a big R is rarely mission-oriented and plan in terms of decades, not years. Resist all pressure – be it financial or cultural – to do work that is of ephemeral significance at best.


accessory is the original manuscript。
