The first science project I ever did was in fifth grade with my partner, Delaney. We looked online together for ideas and came up with an experiment to slide glass balls down a slope covered with different-textured materials. Our project was torn to pieces by our teacher. Our procedure wasn’t thorough. She told us we should consider waiting another year to enter the science fair. I felt so discouraged.

That night, I folded up our poster and started thinking about all of the things I could do differently the next year. I wanted to find a topic I cared about, one that interested me. As a beginner of the piano, I was curious about how the piano I practiced on for five hours every week could make the sounds that it did. I learned about something called “sympathetic resonance,” a phenomenon that allows string to vibrate (振动) together when played. I built my next project around this and ended up getting first place at the science fair the following year.

Today, I am 22 years old, a climate scientist. In the decade since I did my very first science project, I have wondered a lot about what it takes to be a good scientist. To me, what makes a truly good scientist is what makes a good person.

A good scientist has patience — patience for others, patience for herself or himself, and patience when things go wrong. A few years ago, I had the opportunity to work on a NASA asteroid-sample retrieval mission called OSIRIS-Rex. The spacecraft launched in September 2016, headed to the asteroid Bennu. Late last year, finally, it reached its destination. In four years, OSIRIS-Rex will bring a piece of the asteroid back to earth so that scientists can learn more about it. Scientific discoveries do not take place overnight, and many are small and gradual. Missions like the one I worked on often take years to complete. Success almost never comes quickly or easily.

A good scientist is open-minded. It can be easy to ignore people you disagree with or to assume the worst about them. But we should be open to ideas that are not what we expected when we set out. We should take the time to consider other people’s opinions, even when they conflict with our own. There is so much we don’t know, but we do know some things. We live in a world where knowledge and uncertainty can and do coexist. As scientists, we should have both confidence in ourselves and humility as we move through our lives.

Of course, good scientists are driven by curiosity. But curiosity does not have to be limited to science. When we are curious about other people, we can become more considerate. When we are curious about other perspectives, we can become more understanding. After all, it costs nothing to be kind to someone — at school, at the grocery store, with your friends, with your family. A kind gesture can make someone’s day, even save someone’s life. You never know what people are going through unless you take the time to find out. Curiosity is not and never will be something to be ashamed of. Curiosity is our superpower. But it’s also what makes us human. All we have to do is ask.

In 1992, I had just launched a new business called Video News International.

It was the world's first video journalist network. The idea was to cover news and sell the service to news organizations.

One day, a young intern (实习生) who was working for us named Anthony Lappe pulled me aside.

"There is something you have to see," he told me. "Comcast is doing this really cool thing."

"What?"

"The Internet," he said. "It's going to be really big."

Anthony later introduced me to the head of the Internet project.

"We are looking for content to put on our network here," the guy said to me.

Well, I said I had lots of content to offer.

The guy's eyes lit up. "Cool," he said. "We would like to put it on our network."

Well, I was always looking for new clients.

"What are you going to pay?" I asked.

He said that they could not pay anything for the content, but they would set up a URL for me.

"What's that?" I asked.

"It's kind of like your address on the web."

"What would I do with this URL thing?"

"Well, it could be your business."

"I don't see how it is a business, and there's not even any advertising," I cleverly replied.

"Not yet," he said. "But one day there might be."

I thought about it for two seconds.

"Naah..." I said. "I've got bigger fish to fry. I've got to be going now. Maybe we can cooperate next time."

And I walked out.

Idiot!

Well, that Internet thing turned out to be so much bigger than I had thought. I wish I had never made such a mistake. Sorry Anthony. You were right.
