Even today, I still think creativity and analytical perseverance are important traits for superior analyst. Usually I took myself as student to solve math, logic and foreign language questions, at first, build some hypotheses and then usedifferent approaches to test hypotheses and never stop till find inconsistencies.

In this process some key points include integrating quantitative and qualitative knowledge, seeing the bigger picture and thinking creatively and conceptually. Somebody thought that we just relied on mouth, not really.

But I must admit that as a industry expert, I still have not enough insights to cover entire internet and media market. More details need to be found and more industry picture need to be drawn. One analyst friend of mine had told me the importance of quantitative research and market survey, many thanks for his kindness, I found that have many fields needed to learn.
