First thoughts towards MS/GRE ...

Something that I never considered genuine enough to go for - GRE - during my campus days, has kept my nerves intact at present. Half a year out of college, the same time being in corporate ambience - the world of processes, applications, cubicle affairs, office politics, backstabbing corporate weirdos & talks building up with an attitude of "Us Vs They". "Us" being the self, "They" being a hypothetical existence, in general the processes or the decision makers (which I could reason out). And that's when you suddenly realize that the college wasn't really such a bad experience after all. You could explore whatever interested you from technology to fantasy, relaxed schedule, easy transitions between your bed to chair, no defined posture and there was always time for everything. Why not extend your college lifespan a little longer? Demands a true expression?

More than this, still there are reasons to think about as to why to run into this unknown territory. General information is indeed easy to retrieve, few general questions still owe their own importance.
Basically the first question, the one which demands quite an exhaustive & genuine answer is:
Why should a person go for Research/ Master of Science(MS) course?
After having to explore the reasons for above mentioned problem, mapping up of your personality trait becomes indispensable.
If he/she should, then why not the mother country?
Okie that might sound stupid even to think about with having heard about innumerable problems in our country associated with the research portfolio, otherwise why would this brain-drain have been a problem for more than four decades!

Besides having a crystal clear vision with your self within, help from the informal external sources remains crucial, problems related to the economic burden, ease of adaptation, etc. etc.

Few reasons I could figure out as to why one could go for GRE is:
i. Corporate world unwantedly give you an escalation towards management activities with your growing profile, which in due course of time many believe doesn't interest them much.
ii. Being an R&D enthusiast, the passion to come up with a new innovation, to be able to hold the next wave of change.
iii. International exposure to understand the things better on the technological/ business front.
iv. May be to give yourself a chance to do something out-of-the-box which you couldn't come up with, during graduation, taking much longer time to understand the things.

Am currently seeking for the people for lots of advice and guidance.

simplifying Self Motivation.

No matter how strong a person you are, there are times when even the strongest of your sense will find itself uneasy, everything around seems noisy, unknown revulsion dominates mind, silence remains the most wanted companion and if you try reasoning out, Warning! You might end up knowing that you are in the course of depression, albeit it has its own taste :).

But am in general concerned about the one which arises due to inability of the people to achieve the stature they always desired or the aggravation of not been able to accomplish the altitude on par with their potential. Depression which comes out of not been able to find a comfort zone in thy professional life. The ambition of bringing a revolution, the obsession of getting the attention or the desire to excel, yearning not to depend on anyone, to be able to say, yes even I do exist with some rationale & am not Yet Another Person.

Go to the people for advice you'll end up with lots n' lots of inspiring shit, which could have been even better had it been yours, given a chance!

Go to a workshop to spot few CEOs, Presidents or any hyped out persona considered to be successful in life, the only keyword hits your ears are: "Self-Motivation, Focus, Hard Work, Consistency etc." – means all the ideal words of dictionary –
Some will say, "I read this book which turned away my life", some other could have had the fortune of working with some former hyped out personality or some could have had lots of risks, may be they had strong parental backup but the situations everyone had seems to be entirely different from ours, so how could their words actually be the one to act upon?
Although there's no denying a fact that self motivation is the only thing that separates the best from all the goods. The question still remains; what should be done to get self-motivated?

Ok going with the most general belief, reading more n' more such stuff should help you out to bring in self-motivation, ok visit a bookshop with a decent collection, you'll again end up your mind in a confused state as to which book or author for that matter presents the best words of wisdom? Let me arbitrarily pick up some composition hoping it to be good, does that assure to build up the self motivation?

A thought recently went running across my mind - it's basically the act of creating an environment around you which appeals to your heart and to your grey cells. Contacts, talks, social network, profession whatever  one chooses to go with forms the ambience for a person and they should be potential enough to encourage you to do something which is not expected out of thee in usual state of affairs. Thus, in the most fundamental terms its the least important actions taken to create your sorroundings! Lol could Self motivation be as simple as this!
