Lessons from my life in science (thus far).

It is very important to have good mentors, you cannot learn how to do good science just from reading the literature.
Find an important subject that is not yet interesting to others, otherwise the big guys will get there before you! Do not go with the mainstream.
Accidental observations may be the most important ones. Grab your luck!
Use whatever experimental approach is needed for your objective; it may not necessarily be the most fashionable (“state-of-the-art”) technology.
Have a lot of excitement and fun in science – this is how discoveries are made!
Never leave bench-work, and you shall continue to get a lot of excitement and fun.
