I have been thought about “Eureka” moment which was one of Archimedes theory during the era of ancient Greece. The history of Eureka begins when Archimedes, the Greece scholars was taking bath. He realize that the water level roses as he stepped in. He understood that the water volume displace must be equal to the volume of his part of body has submerged. Since then, he terms the word Eureka which also means “i understand”.
The story on how Eureka firstly being term makes me recall on my old memories. I had realized I have been through some Eureka moment myself. The story starts during I was still in high school. When I was in form 4, I was transferred to other school. During the first day, I could only make friend with a guy in my class. These guy appearances are quite unattractive. This is because his front teeth are missing, and left side of his faces is hideous. Due to this, people often call him “Two Face”, as he looks like a villain from Batman series. However, he is a positive thinker, and always smiles and laughs although he knows that his face expression could even scare a dog away.
Although I feel pity for him, some part in me I felt impressed of his spirit. I wonder why he keeps laughing although people make fun of him. When I ask about his feeling, he would just say that he is always happy. He says that even he is sad; he will never show his emotion towards people. He also said that people criticism on his appearance will just make him more focus in achieving his mission and vision. But what make me amaze is, he got 7A’s for his SPM, although he are having a hard day for most of his school life.
After a year, I had learned new thing from a quotation in internet. It says, “Laughter is the best medicine”. It can overcome your stress, and can get rid all of your negative thinking. Because by thinking positive we are one step closer to success. This is where my Eureka moments come. Now I know the answer to my question long ago. Since that day, i show my laughter to other people in any kind of situation. I am no longer a negative thinking person like before. This is how I experience my first Eureka moment.
