在做调研中需要平衡的一些方面(1/5)

Good morning, everyone! Welcome to the research writing class. As you may know that successful research cannot really be broken down into a formula, or a one-size-fits-all rule. Successful researchers have had many different approaches. The key to successful research, like the key to many things in life, is balance. In this lecture we’ll discuss some aspects of the research that you need to balance in order to be successful. The first aspect is to balance the problem. Before you can be successful in research, you need to find the right problem to solve. You need to find a problem that is both interesting and challenging. When I say it has to be interesting, I primarily mean that it has to be interesting to both you and other people. The problem also has to be challenging. If you solve an easy problem then, again, no one will care. But the problem cannot be too challenging. It has to be solvable. So again it comes down to balance-you need to find a problem that is hard enough to be interesting, but not so hard that it is impossible. challenging
