Last Thursday meeting wasn’t useless
The most important thing told last Thursday was, that there is no bad assignments. We can and sometimes we should ignore teachers wishes and points of view, and research what we really interested in according to the task. According to our understanding of this subject.

Can one speculate and wonder?
Something useful to think about.
NYT -License to Wonder
The second misconception that comes from this “facts, facts, facts” method of teaching science is the impression that scientific discovery progresses as an orderly, logical “creep”; that each new discovery points more or less unambiguously to the next. But in reality, while some scientific work does involve the plodding, brick-by-brick accumulation of evidence, much of it requires leaps of imagination and daring speculation. (This raises the interesting question of when speculation is more likely to generate productive lines of enquiry than deductive creep. I don’t know the answer — I’d have to speculate.)

The question of motivation. Motivation to change something global, willness not to follow the safety road.
My favorite TED if I need motivation to continue changing things.
