Why are you taking Scientific Research?

Well, most of the decisions I make in life are usually driven by two motives: the yearning to learn more and the pleasure of loving what you do. I will try my best to explain how these two aspects are applicable as reasons for taking Scientific Research at ALA.

The desire to learn more about the miracles of this world has always fascinated from a very early age. I think of it in this way; the more I know, the more things I have to share with other people(even though the number of sociable peers decreased exponentially - until I came to ALA). The mechanics of economics, technology and science has always been a safe haven for me. If I recall correctly, I always wanted to know how a stock market functioned or how skyscrapers were built in the most densely populated areas. Thankfully, National Geographic, Discovery Channel and some news channels made this task fairly simple - I remained glued to the tv for hours after hours. Honestly, I do not think I could survive in a world where I did not how things around me functioned.
 My curious nature was probably inspired by the fear of not knowing. The desire for knowledge is one end of the spectrum while on the other end lies the ability to understand. Therefore, my desire to learn more about the sciences of this world is complemented by both knowledge and understanding. The scientific research class does not only fulfil this aspiration, but it also allows me to stretch my mind into unvisited fields such as biology and psychology.

Now, moving on to my second point which is loving what you do. For instance, if you love spending a lot of time on the internet trying to figure out how artificial intelligence works in robotics and computers - you won't see your input as a burden because the results will give you pleasure. Going to the most extreme extent of criticising, validating and cross-referencing different sources. Basically, doing research allows me the liberty to explore beyond the boundaries of a field and I even lose track of time when I am doing it.

So, just to sum everything up, Scientific Research provides a platform for me to learn more from others and it also legitimises the time I spend doing research about my favourite topics
