Passion and heart in research

I learned a lot of lessons during this trip to the 12th CitizED conference at Birmingham, UK.

The most important lesson being good research comes from the heart.

It must mean something deeply to the researcher.

Only then, can it resonate with one's soul and the hearts of those the research involves and also those who are listening to you talk about your research.

It took me a long time to learn this. I learned this from watching people do real research. Real research is not just a job that you find, it's about investigating something significant and important to you, and believing that your research will make a difference beyond yourself.
