Question: how do you disscover things .

That’s a tricky question to answer! I was wondering the same thing when I was young. At the time I thought that there’s something in people’s mind that make them think differently, try different things, from everyone else….

Having done research for the last 12 years now, I can say that was not too far off but you have to put in a lot of time and effort and faith in that what you are trying to do is going to add value to the world.

You need to know what’s out there already. You need to make an effort to really understand how people have discovered things that we have today. This will give you some inspiration. Then, you need to question the way things are done…. the question that the inventors of Google asked first was: how can we give people the information the need at the right time. They then came up with a solution for this after lots of work.

It all starts with a question… question why things are done the way they are right now, and how could they be done better.
