It is possible to spend almost all of your time in literature review and
seminars. It is easy to convince yourself that by doing this you are
working hard and accomplishing something. The truth of the matter is
that nothing will come of it unless your are an active reader and
listener and unless you assign yourself time to develop your own ideas,
too. It is impossible to "finish a literature review and then start
research." New literature is always appearing, and as your depth and
breadth increases, you will continually see new connections and related
areas that must be studied. Active listening and reading must be viewed
as ``continuing education'' that will involve you for the rest of your
career. Don't fool yourself into thinking it must be finished before you
can begin research. --- Dianne P. O'Leary
