For my online PhD I'm owrking on a subset of management that my supervisor has researched and published extensively. We have many heated discussions about what he says in theory and what I have done in practice - I am lucky enough to be researching a subject that I have some practical experience of.
Yesterday we were in the middle of one of these heated discussions on the telephone and suddenly my supervisor had an "aha" moment. This bought about a serious amount of illumination into what I am working on, and it really means that I can progress very very fast in my line of thinking.
This was so exciting. I had no idea that ideas could be so powerful. I actually think that yesterday was one of the most important days of my life.
