Four Golden Lessons
(Inspired from a speech by Steven Weinberg)
In short, I tell you what Weinberg plead.
To the young scientists like you and me!
Of all the vastness of knowledge sea,
Believe me, not all literature is helpful in thee.
Start your research right now, young scientist
Learn what you need along the alley.
Don’t run your hands over easy entities,
Mastering the well-known isn’t the researcher’s glory.
Push your limits to the unsolvable mess.
Aim for tricky waters, ’n’ dive deep in the sea.
The next lesson’s truth is most brutal to believe.
You’ll try wrong problems ’n’ time will flee.
It’s hard to find the proper thought at the right time, but remember,
Nobel moment arrives after efforts of eternity.
The next piece of advice is to read science history,
It’s true; science won’t give you a huge money tree.
A researcher’s pride always lies in the fact,
Next-gen will read How he solved the mystery.
