It's humbling when your eureka experience is somebody else's,
"Oh yeah that." experience smile emoticon It's all a part of the
learning process. I find going from eureka! to eureka! is
useful, especially when I find out I wasn't the first. Then I
can learn from the one who DID IT, and progress further... and
then I await the next eureka moment* :) I probably get a dozen
or so mini "eureka's" a day now. I seek them out by looking for
unexpected analogies between unexpected things, seeing where the
connect and where they disconnect. I love it myself. It doesn't
matter what the subject matter is because I'm more of a
generalist rather than a specialist, but I just love the
sensation, the realization, and the productivity (for me, it's
writing and understanding something novel) I get out of it. I
hurry up and try to explain it to someone else. That's when I
know I've grasped it well, and then can move on to the next
fascinating "wow" moment* :)
