What question you will ask a famous person?

If I had an opportunity to ask a famous person a question, I could come up with many questions. However, in particular, I would like to ask Yang Chen Ning, a famous physicist who was awarded Nobel Prize for his remarkable scientific accomplishments, ˜ow did you become a successful scientist??The reasons why I ask this question are given below.  

The most important reason is that I want to get some useful lessons and suggestions from this outstanding man. Yang Chen Ning is the Nobel Laureate in particle physics in 1957. He is a Chinese-born American theoretical physicist. In China, he graduated from National Southwest University, and got a master degree in Tsing Hua University. After that he studied and completed his doctoral degree in University of Chicago, and was awarded a honorary doctorate in Princeton University. Professor Yang is not only distinguished in research field, but also well-known in education field. He is a professor in Chinese University of Hong Kong. He had called for Chinese Youths to challenge Academic Authority. He suggested Youths should not forget Chinese tradition at the expense of learning the newest foreign technologies. I believe I can be inspired by his answer of my question, and I can be pushed study hard from his experience.  

Another reason is that Yang Chen Ning is my idol; I would like to hear his instant presentation as long as possible. As I known, Professor Yang is a very quiet, modest, and affable scholar. I really wish I can stay with him and talked to him. As far as the question ˜ow did you become a successful scientist??is concerned, it must be a long story. I think Professor Yang will talk about the things starting from he being a child to being success. It must take a long time to say.  

All in all, taking into account all the reasons that I have talked about above, I really want to know how Professor Yang got the success. Furthermore, I want to get some suggestions from his story, and I would like to enjoy the time with my idol.
