看了陈德旺老师的blog，其中一则故事非常有趣：97岁高龄的Goodenough因为锂电池研究的突出贡献，不负众望的获得2019年诺贝尔化学奖。Goodenough在美国出生，在耶鲁大学本科毕业，在芝加哥大学博士毕业。他的导师Zener是一个甩手掌柜，对他的指导只有2句话：“现在你有二个问题，第一个问题是找到一个问题。第二个问题是把它解决掉，祝好运。“但是实际上，Goodenough找到一个问题，做了好长时间，他的导师带回家一个晚上解决了，这就是大师风范！

1 原文摘录

To my relief, he said, “I think you can be my student.”Then he added, “Now you have two challenges; the first is to find a problem—a thesis topic— and the second is to solve it.” In fact, Zener was helpful on both counts. Eventually, I found a problem, with his gentle guidance, that was not too trivial and not too hard for me to solve. But after several months working on my problem, I was stuck! Zener took it home to look at it over the weekend; he returned with a suggestion that helped me to move my problem forward.

3: 我不是一个好导师，与同事相比，更遑论上面的大师了！多年来，教出了学生，只能说尽责而已，丝毫不能说一点精彩之处！
