How can one become a scientist, an economist, a historian...? Does it simply involve reading many books on the subject? Does it involve observing, thinking and doing experiments?

To achieve anything in life one needs to put in a lot of efforts. Merely reading books on a subject can never make a person a pro in that field. One can’t deny the fact that the more you read, the more you know but if knowledge isn’t put to practice, it never reaps results. It is important to read to enhance one’s perspectives, gain knowledge, the technical know-hows and understand the wide opportunities of research or exploration a topic opens.


It is equally important to have a never-say-die attitude, the zeal to learn beyond limits, an inquisitive mind and a strong will to perform to be the best and not be the winner of a prize. Success comes to those who work hard for it.
