“Research is a matter of overcoming obstacles.”

Alexander Dalgarno (1928–2015) British physicist

Interviewed by Harry Kreisler, February 28, 2003. In Conversations with History http://globetrotter.berkeley.edu/people3/Dalgarno/dalgarno-con0.html. Institute of International Studies, UC Berkeley. <br class="br">Context: Research is a matter of overcoming obstacles. That&#x27;s what research is about. There are problems. There are difficulties. It&#x27;s hard to make sense of a collection of information or whatever. Obstacles are the nature of research. Maybe that&#x27;s why some people give up. There&#x27;s always an obstacle. You overcome one to find there&#x27;s another one.

“She followed slowly, taking a long time,
As though there were some obstacles in the way;
And yet: as though, once it was overcome,
She would be beyond all walking, and would fly.”

“Psychologically speaking, what such findings seem to mean is that an achievement is not only more frequently present in stories from more rapidly developing countries but when it is present, it is more apt to be “means” oriented rather than goal oriented. The achievement sequence more often dwells on obstacles to success and specific means of overcoming them, rather than on the goal itself, the desire for it, and the emotions surrounding attaining or failing to attain it. The adaptive quality of such a concern with means is obvious: a people who think in terms of ways of overcoming obstacles would seem more likely to find ways of overcoming them in fact.”

David C. McClelland (1917–1998) American psychological theorist
