A SWOT analysis about me ... you should a-GRE-e

Well from my last blog, I have lost track of my main of writing blogs( using the words learnt from Barron's book -- but blogs are damn interesting that I have to forget my own title)

So why the term "SWOT" ?

SWOT analysis is a business management technique(strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats to a company)

STRENGTHS

• A pretty strong brain( as far as I think).

• A good heart.

• Always a good motive in mind.
• Ability to make strong friends.

• A very good planner.
  

WEAKNESS

• A very poor memory.
• A very high threshold level for making friends , poor interpersonal skills(not goood enough communication power / networking - According to a Applied organizational psychology - 60 % of the successful managers are successful mainly of " Networking" and a small 20 % are successful because of their "Effectiveness".)
• Weak in will power/decison making.
• A poor physique.
• Shyness with strangers ( mostly girls).
• Rarely serious.
  

OPPURTUNITIES

• With a strong brain under my head ... I get a lot of plans and ideas (creative and crazy enough) good enough for research stuff/management.
• A good heart ensures that end will be good.
  

THREATS

• With the current low levels of memory and physique, sure to face problems in near future.
• Will power low levels will cause failure ... will certainly increase after failure
• Level of seriousness can cause problem.
  

Any comments ? Do you find conflicting than what you know about me ... the oldie goldie Savya

Why I can't a-GRE-e ? The turning of Success

Presently I am going through a gloomy phase of my life during my internship in IBM Research Lab. There seem to be many oppurtunities ahead of me but I can't decide my way out.

Mugging the wordlists is necessary for GRE as well as CAT but Barron's book simply sucks. I don't know what my parents expect of me ( the only thing i know that they want me to be successful) .

Lets dive deep into the definition of success?

• Is it that you lead a satisfied life ?

• Is it that you are well approved of among your circles ?

• Is it that you are respected by your own people,your family ?

• Is it that you will are remembered long after your body is not there ?

I feel that a combination of all four with an optimum mixture is necessary.

What is the use of success if you are not happy ? What is the use of success if you don't have good relationships with your friends ? What is the use of success if your own son doesn't respect you when he grows up ? What is the use of success if people don't remember you after your own death ?

Was Mahatma Gandhi successful ... Probably yes and no both ?
Yes because he earned a lot of respect , name and fame for the things he did selflessly ?
No, i feel because did his his own son respect him enough ? As far as history tell us , his son had moral conflicts with Gandhi. Whether his son was wrong or not doesn't count, Our Mahatma couldn't impress his son .

Enough of philosophy .. gudnight from Savya

starting to aGREe ...

Friends like Samir have abashed me enough by preparing for the GRE in much advance and flaring their huge vocabulary and memory time and again. So finally I gave up and started to aGREe that I miust prepare for the Graduate Record(I call it Recruitment) Exam as it results in a much better stipend than an Indian IT Company job.

Basically three good things can happen to an IITian

• A few lucky ones do become entrepreneurs nowdays (most coveted )

·Admission to a good college in USA

·Admisiion to IIM A/B/C

·Job in Microsoft/Trilogy etc..

If (and only if) an IITian has achieved one of these, then he is acknowledged to a successful IITian.

So finally I start off with my GRE preparation … mugging the word lists from Barron … abstaining from the worldly pleasures in office of IBM IRL, New Delhi at night to the much abhorred book which every one accedes to use … as if has been accord between the compilers of the book and the organization conducting the GRE.

I am now starting to go deep into the abyss after abstaining a long time from this silly Barron which eludes any intelligent approach to vocab increase like Norman Lewis but a rather manual memorization ………….

Good Night to all..
