What could possibly make our lives easier than the usual? I would presume scientists to make it. But is there really a way?

And voila! I have realized that in acquiring scientific attitudes, life would never be so difficult. Here are some scientific attitudes that we ought to remember.

First is perseverance. We must always put our best foot forward in every task. We must never give up and continue to search for the solution of our problems.

Second is empiricism. Simply said, we must “look and see.”. Underlying this is the belief that there is one real world following constant on the rules in nature, and that we could through the real world , build our understanding.

Third is determinism. We must push through in all of our endeavors and learn that through sheer determination, nothing could get in our way.

Also, we also need to believe that all problems have solutions. Major problems have been tackled in the past, from wars to the sending of man to the moon. Other problems like poverty and pollution have known causes and therefore solvable- perhaps not easily but possible.

Another attitude is parsimony. We must prefer simpler ideas over unnecessary complexities. We must always keep in mind that a very difficult problem only has the simplest of all solutions,

Another important attitude is being open-minded. We must always bear in mind that we are different and that we have our own opinions. Being open-minded is so essential that failing to do so would limit our intellectual freedom. That is why we always need to listen to each other's opinions.

Life is always like an endless cycle of hard work, problems and trials. There will come a time that we will be tired in struggling. But we should never stop. We must imitate our beloved scientists. We must believe that through these scientific attitudes, we may fall once, twice or even more but we will always find the solutions to the adversities that may come to us. With these attitudes, we can attain an easier life for it is by this way that led to inventions and discoveries that were never believed to be possible ever before.
