"The trick to finding ideas is to convince yourself that everyone and everything has a story to tell"
- Malcolm Gladwell
The road towards a masters degree seems to be a series of challenges. Up until now there has been one challenge after the other, and even though I know where it is all going to end, and how I can get there, I never know when the next challenge is going to hit me. For example: after doing a series of semi-structured interviews (and learning that it wasn't at all as bad as I thought it would be) I had to transcribe them and look for the important clues in their stories -- but also in their silence -- that will take my research further and be of relevance to my analysis. There are so many different perspectives and different statements. So, where do I begin? What am I looking for? How do I find them? Did I ask the right set of questions? And which, of all the topics discussed, do I choose to analyse further?
