Reporter: Welcome back to the university.
It's an honor for us to have this opportunity to interview
you. We're all proud of you as our alumnus. Dr. Genius: I also feel honored to be back to this
university where I spent a period of my most enjoyable time
20 years ago. Reporter: Dr. Genius, what are you going to tell us
in your lecture? Dr. Genius: Mostly my experiences on the way of exploration.
They consist of both successes and failures. Reporter: What's your opinion of the development of
science? Dr. Genius: The more we learn of science, the more
we know how little we know about it. Reporter: What do you think is the most important for
the students to learn at college? Dr. Genius: I believe they come here for knowledge,
but it is of vital importance for them to develop their own
ideas about their studies. Of course, to qualify themselves
for their future careers, they should also have a good command
of basic knowledge and skills. Reporter: Does one have to be very intelligent, or
to be a genius with some kind of special gift in order to
be a successful scientist? Dr. Genius: I don't think so. But curiosity, determination
and persistence are factors for most successes. Take Einstein
as an example, he never thought he had a smarter mind than
others. Reporter: Thank you very much for the interview. Dr. Genius: The pleasure is also mine.
