I take pride in having a rich vocabulary, but it is mostly passive. I can score good in vocab tests, i needn't refer the dictionary while reading...but still i am not able to get the right words at the right time while speaking or writing. How does one "activate" one's passive vocabulary ? Please be kind enough to share your thoughts.<br />Thanks,<br />SUndareshAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14853042.post-34260530794604682462006-11-01T22:36:00.000+05:302006-11-01T22:36:00.000+05:30scanning through a few of your earlier posts, you ...scanning through a few of your earlier posts, you seem to have an interest in programming languages.<br /><br />yet you're not sure on which field to advance ? you believe the programming languages of today are as good as they can be ?<br /><br />STOP TRYING TO DO IT, AND DO IT !!<br /><br />-halAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14853042.post-48822403119118958892006-11-01T14:07:00.000+05:302006-11-01T14:07:00.000+05:30Thanks Ravi. :)Thanks Ravi. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14853042.post-33191354008766049452006-11-01T09:05:00.000+05:302006-11-01T09:05:00.000+05:30@prashanth.

The first two are hopefully self explanatory. The third is about how you apply what you know to solve interesting problems (which haven't been solved before). <a href="http://www.cs.indiana.edu/mit.research.how.to.html">This article </a> is a good introduction to the idea. It is a little academia/Ai specific but you can mentally subtract those concepts.Ravihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03630087669712445498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14853042.post-3406585853198109442006-10-31T15:27:00.000+05:302006-10-31T15:27:00.000+05:30Hi Ravi,

Thanks for the nudge!
I am in no doub...@Vlaidimir,<br />Thanks for the nudge!<br /><br />I am in no doubt as to whether to go through a PhD or not. What is not yet decided is the timing :-)<br /><br /> I've been working steadily the last few years to "raise my level" to a point where I can make real contributions to whatever field I work in (vs just grinding through the requirements and getting a paper stating I have a PhD). I know too many people from India who get an MS or in some cases a PhD without really learning anything or advancing the state of knowledge in a field.<br /><br />The uncertainity is about *when* to do a PhD not "whether".<br /><br /> I have to strengthen my research (vs purely technical) skill. Think reseracher/scientist/mathematician vs programmer/sw developer. <br /><br /> I've made some progress on this this year but not as much as I'd like. I plan to rectify this in 2007/8.<br /><br />Life is good :-DRavihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03630087669712445498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14853042.post-80263863273934157912006-10-30T10:34:00.000+05:302006-10-30T10:34:00.000+05:30Dude,

It seems to me that it's something you really want to do deep down inside, and I think if you don't go for it, you'll regret it.<br /> <br />Sometimes in life, you just have to take a leap of faith and hope for the best. Even if it doesn't work out in the end, it's better than the thoughts of what may have been.<br /><br />My oprah-like two cents :)Nestedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09680919094932667147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14853042.post-12500654727516693712006-10-30T08:57:00.000+05:302006-10-30T08:57:00.000+05:30Hey Ravi,
