I shouted the word "Eureka" when I finally knew what to write as an entry for the contest. I had thought I would be among the first participants but I have been experiencing "lack of what to write" and now, I end up being among the last participants but it's never too late to be among the best.
The word "Eureka" has so many meanings when I checked it up online so I decided to make my own definition for it using some random life experiences to explain it. One definition that kept coming to mind is this:
Eureka is that fulfilling moment after so many uncertain moments.
Life has given us so many moments that has in turn made us realize our eureka moments when we get one. We face so many things in life that make us sad, worried, anxious and even hopeless. Well, that's life for us, we just have to flow with it to get to that moment that is full of happiness, joy and fulfillment.
A married woman in my neighborhood who had no child for so many years had so many moments with her in laws where they had planned to get her out of her husband's house, make her a maid in the house or even try to kill her because of her incompetency. She later conceived and gave birth to a twin, that was her eureka moment after so many uncertain moments.
As a student, I had difficult in one course I did in the previous year at school. All I was thinking for a while was to just find a way to barely pass the course just so I could move on but then, I was encouraged and motivated to study more. I had moments of sleepless nights, no food and stress for that one course. I got an A in the course when the results came out, that was my Eureka moment after so many uncertain moments.
My sister had so many moments of behind talks, discouragements from people who felt she was a disrespectful girl, she even got scolded by my dad sometimes because he listened to some of the horrible talks of our neighbors. My sister is now good at hairdressing and fashion designing because she stayed strong and learnt it very well, those people started coming to her to pay her for her work. That was her eureka moment after so many uncertain moments.
My mum started school late because of uncontrollable circumstances. She got discouragement from even her own sisters saying she should just continue learning a skill but my mum didn't heed to all they said, she focused on going back to school and she came out to learn nursing. Now, her sisters calls her for every little health problem in their houses. That is her everyday eureka moment after so many uncertain moments.
There are more stories I would love to share about my family because we have so many eureka moment after uncertain moments but I'll love to stop here and hope that I would keep being grateful for those moments continually.
One little advice from me:
No matter how uncertain a moment may seem to you, be strong and hopeful! Your eureka moment is coming right through it. We would surely have our eureka moment even if it seems all hope is lost.
