I came across an online writing on what makes good researchers. Part of it says:
“the ability to conduct good research relies on a constellation of several personal traits, skills and abilities…A portion of such characteristics can be transmitted with teaching and a further portion can be acquired with continuous, careful and hard work.” He also goes to say that “in order to become an excellent researcher, one has to possess a certain gift which can neither be taught nor learned, but is rather inherent.”
“in order to become an excellent researcher, one has to possess a certain gift which can neither be taught nor learned, but is rather inherent.”
Nature or nurture? Oooooh! I have no idea of whether I have an inherent talent for becoming an excellent researcher.
