  7. 7. Richard Ebright's success as a scientist grew from a combination of qualities. First, he had a first-rate mind, sharp and capable of deep thinking. Second, and most importantly, he possessed an intense curiosity that drove him from childhood to collect, observe and ask questions about the natural world, and to carry out real experiments to find answers — for example, into the purpose of the gold spots on a monarch pupa. Third, he had a strong will to win and to excel, but for the right reasons: his ambition was rooted in a genuine love of science rather than a hunger for mere fame. He also learnt valuable lessons from early experiences, including a science-fair setback that taught him the difference between flashy displays and true investigation. Together, these qualities — intelligence, curiosity, hard work and the right motivation — made him a true scientist.
