Find the Distinctions between Writing a Dissertation/Thesis Paper and Boxing

I will start with a small lyrical digression. I am really into boxing and love this kind of sport and I love people who do it. I like it not because it is so spectacular or bloody or anything else. I like it because it is the best example of courage, will-power and self-control that actually all people should possess.

However, not everybody can boast with these features of their character, which is why somebody becomes an outstanding boxer, somebody fights on the streets and somebody becomes a dumb drug-addict.

How all this can be related to writing a dissertation/thesis paper? I will tell you about the similarities and differences between boxing and dissertation/thesis paper writing.

Similarities:

1.You have to be really smart and knowledgeable both for boxing and for writing a dissertation/thesis paper. Having considerable knowledge is necessary to write a dissertation and it is clear. But what about boxing? Actually it is a real prejudice that all the boxers are stupid. To win the fight, they need to have hundreds of combinations in their head and choose the most appropriate one to get the victory.

2.Strong will-power and self-organization is necessary both for boxing and for dissertation/thesis paper. While writing a dissertation, you will face numerous problems and difficulties. And sometimes it seems you cannot move on and you are losing your heart. But like a boxer in a ring you have to collect your will in a fist, stand up and fight.

Differences:

There is one major difference about boxing and writing a dissertation. In boxing you do not have to make research, study some materials and write your work.

Anyway, despite all the similarities and differences, in both processes people have a clear aim and they do everything to accomplish it.
