Get confident with ideas
By accident I found a memo of what I was thinking when I was trying to change job 5 years ago. The memo is about what I want to do in the company I was applying to, whose business was mainly based on web search technology. My idea there was a search in real physical space which was derived from the previous job. Seems INTERESTING!! Despite web search technologies has been developed in a great bit and and lots of their applications have come out since then, the situation in terms of search real physical space might have not been improved (though I'm unsure since I've spent most of these 2 years in a university's campus in a suburb area in U.S.). So looking back from now, it was worthy if I had started working on that idea.
But I still remember at the interview I couldn't talk about it to CTO at all. Feeling intimidated without any concrete system idea, I just didn't talk about that idea above at all, telling more general story which didn't interest people at the interview.
There must be some ideas which I think right now were too trivial or immature to talk about, or don't even come up to my mind, although they actually are not necessarily trivial nor immature, instead they could stimulate others to some extent. That's why brainstorm works. Among what I have thought during all these 2 years after I made up my mind to go to grad schools, there must be interesting ideas. This time I really like to find and utilize those ideas for the application.
