a Message to the Young People from Prof. Ohsumi

 

 

 

 Today, we’ll tell you the message from Prof. Ohsumi who gave us a video message in closing ceremony.  

 

 

 

1. Look back the long sweep of human history and have a think about what kind of age are we in now.

 

2. Don’t be constrained by authority or commonsense, and pursue what you are interested in.

 

3. Begin your study not with overflowing information but with natural phenomena.

 

4. Don’t be afraid of being different from others.  Find your own path.

 

5. Don’t follow a trend. Competition is not the only driving force behind the development of science.

 

6. See for yourself and treat seriously even a tiny discovery.

 

7. Think carefully what ‘helpful’ is.

 

8. Go back to the original questions again and again.

 

9. Determine what you can find beyond what you are studying.
