Everyone actively asked questions and spoke up

“Kyushu relies on wind and snow to thrive; it’s truly sad when all horses fall silent. I urge the heavens to stir once again and send forth talents in various forms. ” In the field of biodiesel, various new and existing forums and websites are currently facing the same problem: the atmosphere for discussion is not lively ； The problem with older (or more established) forums is that it’s difficult to go further in terms of development; one doesn’t know how to choose a new starting point or how to build upon what already exists to achieve further progress ； The problem with new forums is that people often don’t dare to speak, fearing they will be laughed at if they say something wrong! For this forum, the field of biodiesel represents a newly established section. Compared to the “China Bioenergy and Chemical Engineering Network,” there are two shortcomings in terms of biodiesel: firstly, there is limited knowledge on this subject; secondly, there is no industrial experience in this area. Thirdly, and most importantly, people in this field do not yet know each other well – they are still relatively new to this domain. Therefore, there is a fear that saying something wrong might ruin one’s reputation for good” ； I think that since everyone has come here, there’s no need to be afraid of feeling shy. One should remember that asking questions is the beginning of anything – this is true in both research and production. The simplest of questions often hide very complex underlying issues. Without relevant knowledge, one isn’t constrained in their thinking and can explore ideas freely. For someone like me, who is already an experienced professional, such a way of thinking is something from the past; I’m already bound by many constraints. That’s why I encourage everyone to boldly put forward various ideas. On an old forum like Bioenergy Chemical Engineering Network, some issues have been discussed many times already; bringing them up again shows that one hasn’t read the previous posts carefully. As for new forums, they are still untapped territory, offering great opportunities for innovation! This post was last edited by synsj on 2008-1-29 11:22]
