      Find that one thing that fascinates you, figure out how to go about studying it and then go for it!!!!

      I would say work hard, persevere until you find that one thing you love like Andrew suggests, then read about it as much as possible, ask questions of the people that know more about it and go for it! Good luck 🙂

      Find something you want to understand, ask lots of questions, work hard and never give up!

      Stay curious and critical, soon you’ll find the research interest… things that bug you the most 😀

      Be discipline, get organised, work hard and have a strong determination! Science is not for those who say “No I can’t do it any more!” easily. Give it a try and see how you feel, and it is OK to think “I think this is not for me”. I am in self doubt quite often, but my supervisor is very motivating. You should find someone who can support you to achieve the best of you 🙂
