IIT Post Grad: When the going gets tough! Do you really care??? :D

-
I heard this in a movie and it really hit me... So those of you who feel like you are in the dumps in Grad school or as we in India call it Post Grad studies (MTech), do read...

You feel like you've lost your passion for research, but maybe you've forgotten how to be passionate about anything! Graduate school is as much about finding truth in research as it is about finding truth in yourself.

How come a person doesn't get stressed?

It's easy in research to get tunneled vision, to feel isolated, like your the only person with your problem. Your not alone. But whenever I get stressed I simply ask myself this question: "Do I really care? Would I rather be doing anything else? You're not a machine. You have to embrace the things your passionate about. Every great idea, every great moment of eureka came when it was least expected. Apple, Google, Facebook, Newton and gravity, Einsteins theory of relativity... These things all happened when they weren't doing what they were supposed do be doing, it happened when they were following their passion.

-The Phoenix... Rising from the ashes! :)

It’s not too difficult, though. Before you try the method below, see if this method works first, because it is less of a headache to deal with.

Using Windows Store (Windows 8) Behind a proxy

Hey, If you are like me, and are working behind a proxy server in Windows 8, then you need this to get around the inability of metro style apps such as "Windows Store" to connect to the net via your proxy server. Run this as the Administrator in the command prompt, netsh winhttp import proxy source=ie And restart any metro style apps that need the net. Hope this worked for you like it did for me :)
