Thomas AlvaEdison 1847-1931

Scientists are a kind of person who takes science as their major. As a special group of people, they should have some essential qualities.

First and most important, they must be honest. That is to say, without honesty they should not enter this serious field. There is no lie in science and telling lies is the big obstacle on the road toward science. So do not tell a lie at any time if you want to become a scientist in the future.

Secondly, every scientist is a diligent person. Without hardworking, they will fail to get success. Because any job in science is in a great need of efforts. Just as a famous scientist who invented light said, a genius is 99% sweat plus 1% talent.

Thirdly, an ability of imagination is also important to science. Many first-discoveries are accounted for leap of imaginations. And a creative imagination is the first step toward the gate of science. Thinking always in the traditional way is of no good to the development of science.

In conclude, the necessary qualities to be a scientist are the above three: honesty, diligent, and creative imagination.
