The book not only vividly describes many effective research principles, such as "broad thinking," "breaking out of existing success," "KISS method," "using scenarios to drive research progress," "intellectual stamina," "starting from 'impossible'," and "refining one's ideas through communication with others," through numerous personal anecdotes, but also provides timely and heartfelt guidance for the next generation of young people who will take on the future in terms of how to conduct research, how to innovate, and what abilities are necessary to achieve certain accomplishments. This book is not only suitable for researchers but should be suitable for any reader, as it offers valuable references for solving problems in their work, studies, and daily lives. It is particularly suitable for college and graduate students who are considering how to cultivate their abilities and develop themselves.
