Extra credit science quote response

In Science the credit goes to the man who convinces the world, not to the man to whom the idea first occurred.-Sir William Osler (1849-1919) Canadian physician.

Although people who come up with an idea are very smart, it does not specifficaly mean that it has to be true. The quote " In Science the credit goes to the man who convinces the world, not to the man to whom the idea first occurred." quoted by Sir William Osler a Canadian physician, is definitely very inspirational. In science it actually is mostly facts that are needed, and if you don't have proof then that will get you nowhere. You may come up with the idea, but somebody else coming along with the same idea may be the one to succeed instead of you. If they are the one who convinces everyone that their idea is true, they will definitely be recognized. On the other hand, the first ones to come up with the theory, will fail without any information or data about your thought process or abilities used for your discovery. Without evidence, somebody might come up with the same ideas and go far into their studies to figure out more, unlike someone else who had a random thought of a theory with nothing else to go along with it. In other words, I believe this quote just states that if you work diligently to succeed or achieve your long time goals, and earn what you deserve in life, more people will appreciate your work. You can't get anywhere without trying and hard work.
