If you are a curious person who is interested to know more about how and why of anything that is in nature, then you are ready to become a scientist.

If you are determined enough to try hard to solve that mystery, then you are ready to become a scientist.

If you are keen to know other persons’ opinion, then you are ready to become a scientist.

If you have the patience to understand what other scientists have found out, then you are ready to become a scientist.

If you have respect for everything that exists in this nature, then you are a scientist.

Finally, if you have ( or ready to acquire) the above qualities, then there are two options.

1. Study in an institution (the formal way)
2. Study on your own.

Note: I really wish that the number of people taking option 2 increase.
