Success is no longer cherished because now the definition of success is to be the winner by beating everyone else in the race and the competitors never seem to exhaust. In this rat race after a while people loose their direction. The present generation is already a part of it but the upcoming can be saved. Thus, experts have recommended students to take it slow and steady in order to achieve academic success.

Uri Alon, Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel, shared this view to all the students across the Globe.

The expert advised even scientists should take time and prioritize their interest in a subject than twist their study towards popular demand.

Uri Alon asks teachers and researchers to nurture the brains of the youth with clear guidelines, education and motivation, rather than stuff it with all the knowledge. The students need to understand what they are being taught and work on those lines. Education should not be only to pass a test.

Ronen Zaidel-Bara, postdoctoral researcher at the University of Wisconsin-Madison agrees that, "research motivated by our true interest is much more rewarding and resilient to the setbacks of scientific inquiry."
