Are you the types who will just see the gross things, or else, have an attitude to details 👀? If you are the one with an approach to gross things and tend to lose focus when it comes to the more delicate features, you may not be the types who will succeed in doing science. For a person to be reasonably successful, or preferably one who will reasonably enjoy doing science is the one who has an attitude to details and who gets triggered by many questions.
The questions that you may ask may be "Why XYZ observation is so and so," and mechanisms behind the same. Once you are successful in deciphering the mechanism, you might try to correlate the same to an existing phenomenon. Correlation to a current aspect becomes some novel finding. Also, that is a relatively standard way of doing science.
However, if one is extraordinarily lucky in science, or in other words, vigilant, one may end up with an entirely novel phenomenon. Such a unique aspect has a potential to be called as a new discovery. Observing an innovative event is just not enough to be named as a new discovery. There is a lot more to it. One needs to validate this novel phenomenon very rigorously using scientific methods, or sometimes using mathematical models, as well. Such an established novelty then becomes a groundbreaking discovery.
Hence, doing science becomes an ingrained habit. It becomes an indelible personality that motivates one to continually look for newer observations and proving them using various ways. Scientists are not just born, scientists are nurtured and developed. In other words, scientists nurture and develop themselves continuously throughout their lives in the quest and proving of new knowledge.
