'Eureka' moments are very, very rare in my experience. It normally takes several weeks of experiments to tease out the truth, even when you have a really pretty good idea of what is going on.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
People think of these eureka moments and my feeling is that they tend to be little things, a little realisation and then a little realisation built on that.
Work grows out of other work, and there are very few eureka moments.
There are occasionally eureka moments - off the top of my head, maybe Darth Vader's theme, you know, the imperial march.
Eureka! - I have found it!
I'm constantly surprised by... an orange will roll off a table, and I'll catch it before I knew it was falling. Something happens there. We could write it off and say, 'Subconsciously I knew that was happening,' but there's so many things every day - I'm amazed by how little we know.
Creativity and insight almost always involve an experience of acute pattern recognition: the eureka moment in which we perceive the interconnection between disparate concepts or ideas to reveal something new.
Everything that happens happens as it should, and if you observe carefully, you will find this to be so.
Other times, you're doing some piece of work and suddenly you get feedback that tells you that you have touched something that is very alive in the cosmos.
I've been really lucky. I think that you really get what you recognize is in the universe.
Your best ideas, those eureka moments that turn the world upside down, seldom come when you're juggling emails, rushing to meet the 5 P.M. deadline or straining to make your voice heard in a high-stress meeting. They come when you're walking the dog, soaking in the bath or swinging in a hammock.
