How Do You Eat an Elephant? A Dissertation Metaphor for Success
A fellow professor once posed an unusual question to me: “How will you eat an elephant?” At first, I was stumped, struggling to conjure a clever response. Before I could answer, he smiled and said, “One bite at a time.”
It’s a simple yet profound lesson: even the most daunting challenges can be overcome by breaking them down into manageable steps. Of course, the elephant here is a metaphor (and let’s be honest, I’m not sure elephant meat is even appetizing). But the idea applies perfectly to a task like writing a dissertation—it’s massive, intimidating, and requires consistent effort over time.
Writing a dissertation is much like running a marathon. You pace yourself, conserve your energy, and keep moving toward the finish line. But just when you think you’ve made it, imagine being told you need to run an extra 10 kilometers! That’s often how the final stages of dissertation writing feel. Yet, with the right support and resources, you can reach the finish line with confidence.
