It means while studying if you know that you have to teach someone you
will study it hard and learn more.
Same apply to discussing. If you know you are going to discuss a
topic, you will make different connections and eventually when you
study you do put in the extra effort.
So if you want to learn a new topic, subject then think yourself as a
teacher. Or plan to discuss the subject with your peers.
Simple but effective!!
If this were the case this blog would have long died. It's still there
because I choose to ignore the ilogical, haste and completely ignorant
remarks.
They did hurt. But choice to continue was clear.
When I was in AeSI, I needed something like this. So the blog continues.
Hope my-aesi blog helps you more than the small time investment that
is needed on my part to keep it running. As long as former part of
this equation holds true, I will keep putting in my time.
Opportunities are like locks. To unlock them you need to have a key.
Once a good opportunity comes you way and you have the key, you will
be land yourself in an office. So what is the key?
The key is the skills you develop during and after your degree.
There are two paths to land in a job. Either search a lock for your
matching key or create a key that matches the lock.
There is no other way? So which path have you chosen.
Here are some thoughts about office environment, that I have picked on
the way.
Never eat alone. Eating time is the opportunity to network. So never
eat alone and most importantly never eat with same group everyday.
Your lunch box shows variety why not you?
Just like in investments, start early. Don't wait for deadlines to
show up at your door, begin well ahead. Having a time leverage is a
great advantage.
Always help. Your value increases with the number of people and times
you genuninly help. So extend the helping hand. You will become
valuable this way.
If you are begining your career or office life, do remember these
thoughts.
Good luck and enjoy the journey !!!
It's a great feeling. Here are some of the things that I want to tell
the new AeSI aerospace graduates.
1. Be proud of your degree.
2. Keep learning.
3. Being a graduate is just a milestone, not a destination.
4. Confidence comes with practise. So practise what you want to be
confident about.
5. Anticipate and embrace change. It's the catalyst for growth.
6. Surround yourself with what you want. Unlike lotus, human mind
doesn't bloosom in dirty, muddy surrounding.
This post is an answer to that.
For him I will say. All you need to do is follow the next two rule
consistently.
The rules are.
1. Set one hour for study and
2. Let the hour be the first waking hour.
Yes follow these two rules religiously. If he/she can follow just this
two rules he will clear AeSI without any bumps.
Except the first hour after waking, in all other times he is free to
loiter and spend his time as he likes.
I have followed this advice to some degree in my aesi. And now this is
my default stategry in running this blog and doing all sorts of small
projects I am involved in.
So my friend, if setting big routines overwhelms you, try this for
30days. It's the cheapest and inexpensive way to overcome your inertia.
Fishermens are ready to charge in the water, and the guy has flung his
fishing hook in the sea. Now tell me if you want to catch some fish
for yourself, to whom will you approach?
I don't know about you, but I will go with the fishermen. They know
their trade and they know the ocean and siding with them will given me
the maximum advantage.
If this logic looks right to you then why do you follow the exact
opposite while choosing tutions for aesi. You shun the teachers in gie
to some guy taking class in his room.
Why?
Think about this. It makes lot of sense to learn from the experts,
from the person who are there in the field for long. Experience do
matter!!
So this semester if you tend to get into this situation. Remember the
fishermen!!
This is still delaying the ebook launch. This is delaying other
interesting posts that are stored in my laptop. This is delaying lot
of other stuffs in life.
I don't know when it will get corrected.
This weekend I am moving to a different service and hope this will
correct all the problems.
So be patient. Luckily this iPhone app works in this limited
connection and I am able to post to my-aesi blog!!
Thanks for reading the blog. If you need more content, different

Imagine.
Yes, whatever you study imagine it. See it in your mind's big
blackboard. Connect whatever you have learnt with the previous.
Imagination is more powerful than knowledge, so utilize it.
Start small, and switch on your minds cinema to accelerate your
learning.
Draw.
Just reading is not sufficient. Get a pen and paper and start
outlining the concepts you pick by way of drawings. Draw what you have
studied.
This sharpens your understanding, strengthen the connections and glues
the information you learnt.
I have extensively used this technique during my aesi days for all of
the subjects. If you can look at my notes of aesi, you will find
papers crammed with little drawing, and line. So draw whatever you
learn.
Discuss.
The topics that I remember the most are the once that I had discussed
with my friends. The topics that still float around my mind are the
once on which I had heated discussion around the tea shop with my
friends. So discuss what you learn.
Present what you learn in an interesting way. Explain the topics in
different angle. Connect and tell your friends about how what your
studied is connected with what you already know.
Take a leap in imagination and make the stuff you learn interesting to
discuss.
If you can do all these, you can study and remember lot in less time.
Study will become fun. Finding interesting ways to discuss the topic
will fire up new connections and help you retain more. So get going
and apply these techniques this semester!!
If you have just began to learn catia or any other cad software then
go for quantity. Do as many models as you can. Aim to do cad model as
many items as you can.
Don't worry about the results, keep churning the models and in each
iteration follow the process, learn a specific technique.
Let's say you learnt about lofting today, then aim to employee this
technique and bring out as many cad models you can. Make it as a
personal challenge to see how many models you can create with all the
techniques you have learnt so far.
Just create and don't worry about the quality for now. Most of your
models will be useless, crap but their purpose is not to get a world
changing model but to teach you the software.
This is the easiest and the fastest way to learn a cad sofware. Sure
its lot of work but hey who told something worth acheiving will be
easy. So try it.
