The most humbling and remarkable thing about being a researcher, may I say more so a qualitative researcher, is that you are the tool, for data collection, for data analysis, for data reporting.
And this tool has its potential, as well as its limits. How well you train and care for this tool, determines the work that you do. If you spend the day busy with many stuff, adrenaline rushing and all, don't be surprised if you sit down and try to work and find that you have little left to give of yourself.
Research is an emotional work. How you feel determines how you think and what you write.
This truth is all at once liberating and humbling. I have control and yet no control at all.
