A lonely journey

This is interesting comment! I captured the phrase when I was browsing one of the doctoral thesis. I absolutely agree with the writer and I believe that most of the PhD candidate will go through the same thing. So, I quote the phrase written by Magnar. Thanks, at least I’m not any different to have the same feeling.
“Research is not something that you do only by yourself. This is a ‘personal’ finding from
developing this thesis. Although when working alone with a text in your office you may
sometimes think that you have made a discovery, you will be very insecure about the value of your discovery before you have discussed the text with other researchers. They may confirm your finding, but they can also discover things in the text that you have not imagined.
Or they may simply react with disappointment to what you have written.
In each of these cases you become a little more secure regarding your research.
Interaction with others makes doing
research more meaningful”.
