Why Science?

Why do I plan to return to Universities or institutes for scientific researches?

The main reason of this fundamental change of my life and career is my firm belief that only the acquaintance with science and studies of the Nature can give me some sort of satisfaction and happiness. In my childhood, I have always been thinking about becoming a top scientist and this is still my unrealized dream. I am thirsty to learn everything about the Nature and her principles. All branches of sciences are attracting me – mathematics, physics, chemistry…. When dived into the realm of science, I forget the rest of the world.

Secondly, I’ve found the industry, commerce and politics all full of crimes, evils, lies, corruption and injustice (in fact they are synonyms) , and I hate all these, therefore, after so many years there, I want to keep myself distant away from them and concentrate myself on pure scientific researches.

Thirdly, my personality is very fit for scientific researches. Although working in the industry and business over the last two decades, I am still maintaining my habit to learn new sciences every day without interruption. My reading and study capability is unique. Each day I might read more than 100 pages of books of various kinds. I am able to read papers in English, German and French and I am still improving my Russian.

And lastly, I should have been among the top scientists if I have accepted the Ph.D studies I won from several European and N. American universities such as University of Glasgow (gas turbine combustion), University of Paris (surface chemistry), Laval University, and universities of Germany and other countries during 1991-1992 shortly after graduation as a master of science. I was unable to attend these universities because of private reasons Further in 1996, I was nearly admitted by Harvard to pursue a MPA when my former boss told me that the job at Alstom was worth more than a Harvard MPA, a wrong judgment of course.

For short, only a scientific career can fulfill my dream of lifetime endeavors.
