Over the weekend I walked into a fitness centre and immediately saw these two (unattributed) quotes. They leapt off the wall. My first thought was ‘Great, that’s a PhD thesis’.
I passed the quotes onto the Post Grad office and I was asked to write a short paragraph. I started to do that and it started to spoil the quotes – as I thought about them, they became less inspiring.
So all I am going to say is these quotes describe the positive side of the stress that is often associated with a thesis. A thesis is a challenge that takes us outside of our comfort zone.
PS: I have subsequently undertaken a search on these quotes. The first is similar to something written by Neale Donald Walsch on a blog. The other can be found in a website of quoteable quotes: http://www.livelifehappy.com/if-it-doesnt-challenge-you
