A Good Scientist

"A good scientist has freed himself of concepts and keeps his mind open to what is"

-- Lao Tzu, father of Taoist philosophy.

In pursuit of my masters in a hard science, I need to continually reflect on this in order to retain the essence of being a good scientist. Being surrounded by ego's and constant competition -- I will not let myself be sucked in.

It's necessary to strive towards excellence without losing sight of the why.
