“I can acquire everything and it doesn’t mean that I’m selfish only that I’m open to all the possibilities along my way, because to be open for some changes adds more chapters in my life, in order for me to see my life in its clearer view. Life is a journey to discover and you are free to choose which route you should take, but just make it sure that you are in the right path. The journey of life doesn’t stop as long as it is in this world. I’m the captain of my soul and the master of my self, so why should I follow others if I know I could do something new?

Science is a method. It is a method because it has processes to be followed step by step. In fact, science is the mother of all inventions. Through science, man was able to reach the moon, man can communicate to others while they are from different places, man can easily gather information in just one click, man can now prolong life, etc. Science is vey powerful nowadays because of its inventions.

What if science only limited or focused itself in just one invention? For example:  After the invention of the space craft which was used by Neil Armstrong when he went to the moon, man already stopped from inventing other inventions. They only focused themselves on doing space craft (different space craft). They do not mind anymore to invent other thing that will help in developing faster communications, transportations, entertainments, etc. What do you think the possible things that will happen, especially during these days? Do you think we have this present world right now?

If the scientists during those times stops from doing another thing and focused only in doing the same invention, for me, it has a positive and negative effect in our society right now. It is positive, because if science stopped evolving, there is a possibility that we don’t have certain issues and problems that we are shouldering right now. First, if science stopped from inventing, there will be no contraceptive (RH Bill products) which makes complication between the church and state.  In increases the number of immorality in the society by leading the people to have an irresponsible freedom within them. Second, if science stopped from evolving, there must be no nuclear weapons and there will be no “nuclear war” in other nations. It is negative, because if science stops from inventing, there will be no solutions for the dangerous diseases. If science stopped from inventing, there will be no faster way of communication and convenient transportation. If science stopped from evolving, maybe we are not able to solve our problems before. If science stopped from exploring, maybe we are not able to know the world and even our selves.

The world of science is wide open. You can create so many varieties of ideas and methods.  According to Paul Fayereband, the scientist should explore more the world of science, make their own methods and not just continue what others have started already. A scientist should not pattern his thoughts from the others’ works. A scientist should not just limit himself on what are the given methods of science and even to his own methods. He is expected to create something new and not just the “falsified thing” from the others’ ideas. He must go out from the box (perspective of other scientist) and make his own method which is distinct from the others, because only by getting out from the box that he can create a new idea, fresh and original. 

Science can be developed in many ways and not just in continuing other’s work. There are still lots of discoveries waiting to be done and things that are not yet   discovered. Science is for everyone to discover and all we have to do is just to expand our imagination and widen more our perspective. A scientist should always stretch himself to the limits, because science is just like a horizon very wide and can’t be known if where its end is.
