Real knowledge, like everything else of the highest value, is not to be obtained easily. It must be worked for, studied for, thought for, and, more than all, it must be prayed for”
- Thomas Arnold
It’s quite true that the real knowledge cannot be acquired in an easier way instead we need to strive hard and even face many hardships in order to obtain a wide range of knowledge. Obtaining the knowledge is not just the fact to be considered but we also needed to gain the knowledge in our field of interest which fetches a lot in studies as well as for building up a healthy career.
It is my extreme privilege that I have been given an opportunity to express about myself in my very own context. The very fortunate thing ever happened to me was that I had a very good early education which helped me a lot in the following time i.e., during and after my schooling. As I grew up also did my interests, at first Mathematics was the only topic which always dominated my interests but later on my interests made a shift on to the field of sciences mainly Physical Sciences with the introduction of many interesting topics in it. That was the time since which the inception of my interest in the field of sciences begun. Learning had become the key part of my life since then.
Possessing the basic knowledge in the field of physical sciences and the intuition in them made me to pick up Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry as my majors for the Higher Secondary Education. After the completion of my secondary education, I felt that engineering was the only field which can transform and transfer my dreams in the field of sciences into a real one and also it would give me an opportunity to learn and explore how the fundamentals of science are appl...

...the one reason which made me to take a firm decision to study at your esteemed university is that the necessary amount of exposure you provide which is required for broadening up my thinking abilities and undoing any insular behavior that might still be prevalent in me. Your Institution is a confluence of people from diverse cultures and varied ideologies. I am particularly sure that my exposure to these kinds of things would definitely help me in the overall development of my personality and helps me to broaden up my view from the narrow confines of Nationalism to Internationalism which enhances my career aspirations. I would be glad enough to pursue my Master’s Degree from your esteemed University.
Thank you for giving me this opportunity to express about me and given an opportunity, I shall strive to channel my unbridled efforts into more productive avenues.
Our knowledge is a key to our success and happiness in our life to give us personal satisfaction. Knowledge is power but not always. Sometimes our self-awareness and growth as an individual gives us negative thoughts that make us want to go back to undo it. Everyone wants to unlearn a part in our life that brought us pain and problems. Good or bad experiences brought by true wisdom can be used for our self-acceptance, self-fulfillment and these experiences would make us stronger as we walk to the road of our so called “life”, but Douglas’s and my experience about knowledge confirmed his belief that “Knowledge is a curse”. Both of us felt frustrated and sad from learning knowledge.
I'm aware about the potential of beginners are eminent but I feasibly surpass them.The interaction with highbrows in this field from around the globe will broaden my horizons and enhance my adorning traits. I assure to be an forte to ---- and I intend that the Admission Council backpack the same spirit. I look forward to a challenging career in research which may even be arduous and demanding at times but I am confident that with my sincerity and dedication, I will be able to make a meaningful contribution to the on going research developments and live up to the high standards expected off your university.Given an opportunity, I shall strive to channel my unbridled efforts into more productive avenues. I would like to say in conclusion that the essence of University education lies in the synergistic relationship between the department and the students. I think that graduate study at your University would be help me best with my academic pursuits and is a major step towards achieving my objectives. I would be grateful if I am given the opportunity to pursue my graduate study with financial assistance at your world-renowned
Ever since I was a child, I have had a great interest for the automotive industry. From car trivia to novel innovations, my innate passion for the automotive industry has always made me research the minutest detail of every vehicle that interested me. Since elementary school I would draw sketches of cars which incorporated technology which were unheard of at that time; novel devices such as electrochromic windshields, HUD displays, and wind turbines which would constantly re-generate electricity for the car. While growing up, my hobbies largely consisted of constructing countless Lego and Meccano sets, and repairing my mom’s 19 year-old car. In middle school, math and science were my favorite subjects: applying science and mathematics to solve real-world problems has fascinated me and I have also taken further steps to reach my goals. By the age of thirteen I devised a scaled model of a heliostat power plant, which successfully powered a light bulb. The mathematics beyond the focus points of parabolic dishes and thermodynamics was very advanced for my age, but I took up the challenge...
As one grows into adulthood, the cliché, “Knowledge is power,” is commonly heard. However, there are many conceptions of what knowledge truly is. The most common belief is that knowledge refers to the information that one learns from a textbook, class, lesson, or even online. This is also known as theoretical knowledge. However, theoretical knowledge only one part of what knowledge can be defined as. True knowledge is both academic knowledge and real-life experience. Real-life experience is known as the practical aspect of knowledge. To gain power one must apply both theoretical knowledge and practical knowledge.
I finally conclude with an assurance that it would be a great privilege for me to do masters in your university and would be looking forward for that great moment.
Math and Physical Sciences exposed me to new concepts and my quest to use them for practical applications prompted me to continue my studies in engineering. An affinity for mechanical devices led me to enrol myself in the Mechanical Engineering curriculum.
Learning is an interesting phenomenon. When interests match with field, it gives positive results. My field is ...
... put together individual obtains knowledge gracefully through everyday conversations, actions, and thoughts. Socrates once said, “True knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing”. I disagree with this quote and statement. I believe that being aware of the fact that you know little is nothing to be humiliated of. This marks the beginning of a learning experience. Being aware of knowledge and its importance is certainly a necessity. Knowledge can never be taken away from an individual. Once thoughts, and new ideas and values develop into an individual’s mind it cannot be snatched. The way you view the world is your own deep perception. The more you learn about the world the more insight you have. These are building blocks to learning new things. Soon enough, you will realize that the continuous quest of knowledge is one of the pillars of your victory and bliss.
I am applying for a Masters in Mechanical Engineering with a concentration in Solid Mechanics to expand on my study of and experience with materials. I have thoroughly enjoyed studying Materials Science and Engineering as an undergraduate at UCLA. I now look forward to moving into graduate study in a field of engineering with a related, but different perspective. Materials Science and Engineering has allowed me to explore both materials and other fields within engineering, contributing to my strong interest in combining my study of Materials Science and Engineering with Mechanical Engineering. I have completed basic coursework in most areas of engineering, learning statics, thermodynamics, basic programming, and circuit design. This has provided a strong foundation to continue graduate study in other engineering disciplines. I
From my childhood till today, my most remarkable attributes have been my curiosity to learn new topics. My avid interest for learning new ideas, when blended with my inner desire to reach a degree of excellence in every piece of work I execute, enabled me to acquire substantial knowledge on various aspects of nature and technology, furthermore leading me through a successful educational career.
Throughout my Secondary education I always had deep interest in science and technology. Since my childhood I was fascinated in progression of Science and how it affected civilizations. Without science and technology the world would not have evolved. My deep interest in science has led me to read articles, journals, and attend exhibitions. In A levels, I studied biology which gave me an academic foundation that is necessary for a career in science and provided me with knowledge of how human life evolved. Mathematics helped me solve problems from different angles and work in a l...
I am eager to learn and keen to seek out new information. At school, I will always ask questions when in doubt and if a certain topic interests me, I will read up and explore beyond the syllabus independently. My curiosity motivated me to take up Raffles Academy Mathematics, H3 Mathematics and SMU H3 Game Theory as I was extremely interested in combinatorics and strategic decision making. I thoroughly enjoyed reading up on the course materials and I believe that my interest and quest to learn helped me to attain distinctions in these subjects. In my free time, I enjoy reading non-fiction books and watching documentaries as they enable me to learn more about the world and people. There are important lessons that could be applied to daily life, for example, by understanding our natural irrational behavior, we can learn how to make better decisions.
The knower is the individual making the observation or having the awareness on the subject of evaluation, The term Perspective is a point of view or frame of mind, Essential means important and desirable, and the pursuit of knowledge is an aspiration for knowledge, or more so an objective of learning. To a large extent, I agree that every individual’s perspective is important when it comes to pursuing knowledge. In my essay, I will discuss the history of Albert Einstein, who contributed a lot to the modern physics in the Natural Sciences and how his creation came to exist in the world from using the personal knowledge that leads to the advances in shared knowledge. I will also talk about Galileo’s reliance on empirical knowledge, which leads him to establish the scientific method, which is still regarded as the only satisfactory approach when it comes to the acquisition of knowledge about the natural world today. Humans can acquire their knowledge in many ways, but the main way that we on instinct acquire our knowledge from is through our life experiences while using ethical reasoning and
Relentless betterment has always been the motive of my life. The foremost requirement to attain this is knowledge and profound guidance. After the completion of my course under the guidance of your privileged university I am confident enough that I will take the path of constant growth.
The development of every nation hinges on the effectiveness of their transportation systems. Movement of goods, services and people to and from locations is made possible by transportation systems. The importance of effective transportation systems cannot be over-emphasized. Many countries face transportation problems and my country Ghana is no exception. A trip of about 30 minutes usually takes about an hour or more due to traffic jams. This is seriously impacting productivity and has become a topical issue in the country. The situation is the same in Uganda where I currently work. To this end, Transportation Engineers are needed to design roads/ highways that will stand the test of time, plan effective traffic management systems to reduce
