Message to students
There are three things I would like to share with you. Firstly, I encourage you to cultivate a spirit of challenge during your student years. It’s natural to encounter many difficulties when trying something for the first time. My own research journey was filled with failures. However, with each failure, you learn to think more creatively to succeed the next time. Repeating this process is essential and will become a foundation for your growth. Secondly, develop your planning skills. Once you set a research goal, carefully consider the means and methods to achieve it from all angles. It is crucial to include a timeline in your planning. Setting deadlines increases the likelihood of achieving your goals. Lastly, I think it is important to enjoy what you do. Of course, there will be difficult and boring things. However, things can look different depending on your attitude and way of thinking. Whatever your research topic is, I hope you will find your own enjoyment in it.
