WHILE IT IS TRUE THAT UNIVERSITIES ARE BY DEFINITION LEADERS IN SCIENCE
IT IS ALSO TRUE THAT SCIENCE PROVIDE ENOUGH OPPORTUNITIES FOR RESEARCH TO PROVIDE ONE  WHO IS WILLING A CHANCE TO CREATE ORIGINAL.  TESTING AND EVALUATION OF RESULTS IS THE ONLY CONCRETE ADVANCES THAT PROVIDE THE FRAME WORK OF FUTURE WORK, GIVE US A CHANCE OR CLEAR THE WAY, AND LET FREEDOM OF THINKING REIGN WITHOUT HINDRANCE!

IT IS GOOD TO HAVE CONSENSUS ON WHAT IS IMPORTANT AND TRUE, BUT IN RESEARCH, LET IMAGINATION REIGN BECAUSE WHAT IS TRUE TODAY MAY NOT BE TOMORROW, AND UNTIL IMAGINATION IS FREED, NO NEW LEADS WILL BE CREATED, AND WHAT IS TRUE TODAY BUT FALSE TOMORROW WILL NOT BE CORRECTED.  WHEN IT COMES TO RESEARCH, FOLLOWING OUR LEADERS IS NOT THE ONLY WAY TO THE TRUTH OR THE CURE!  ONE HAS TO CONTINUOUSLY QUESTION THE PREMISES.  IT IS WHY THE SUPREME COURT EXISTS DESPITE THE DICTATES OF A CONSTITUTION WHICH HAS WITHSTAND THE TIME.

TO WIN, YOU CAN FOLLOW FOR A WHILE, BUT AT A CERTAIN TIME IN THE PATH, YOU HAVE GOT TO DEMARCATE, TAKE A DIFFERENT TANGENT AND BREAK FREE, AND THIS DESPITE THE UPROAR. AND WHILE YOU ARE FOLLOWING, KNOW THE OPPONENT WELL AND WHAT HE IS UP TO!

BUT REMEMBER, YOU CAN NOT WIN BY STRICTLY FOLLOWING!
