Research is white and like eating ice cream!

2. If research were a color…
If research were a
color it would be
the color white.
When I think of
the color white I
remember a piece
of paper.

3. If research were a color… (Cont’d)
Other colors are easily
seen when they are
with the color white.
Other colors such as blue,
red and green etc.,
serve as the ideas or
thoughts that come
from other people.
They compliment white
and make it look good
as a whole.

4. If Research were a process…
It would be like eating an ice cream.

5. First Step: Choosing a flavor
Before you eat an ice
cream, you choose
the flavor that you
want. The one that
interests you. It is
the same thing as
choosing a topic
for your research.

6. Second Step: The eating process
While you are
eating the ice
cream you find
things about it.
How it tastes and
it could make you
feel happy or
satisfied.

7. Last Step: The bonus
After eating most of the
ice cream, you could be
lucky if your ice cream
has a chocolate on its
base. In research, you
feel fulfilled after all the
work you have done
and if you get lucky
there will be something
in store for you.
