Accountability

If someone becomes a researcher, the person should explain how important his/her work is.
If can not, this means that the person fails as a researcher.
This is true in competitive circumstances, like in America.

I had a better experience on my accountability.
I exhibited my research in a conference, and a man stopped my booth then asked me what my research is.
It was a kind of conference for engineering, so I supposed that he knew something about the topic I'm working.
I explained the importance of my research again and again, but he did not understand the importance.
Finally he asked me that when your research would be commercialized.
I asked that it would take five or ten years, then he disappointed and said just "well, work hard."
I was so angry that guy, and I thought that was because he appeared he denied me.

This story contains two interesting issues.
One thing is that I did not have enough ability to explain my research to others.
Looking back now, I think it was my fault.
I could not make him understood the importance with my appropriate words

The other thing is that I was furious about the innocence of that man.
It is a bad habit.
I need to fix it.

I do not want all of the people think that my research would be interesting and important, but I should have had an accountability.
