line. While waiting on the starting line, we had our coach give us a speech to put our hard work to the test and to never let our minds overcome us in our struggles.

Aha Moment Life as we know it is a fragile ecosystem hanging in the balance between the “Aha!” moments of greats—rejecting old ideas and accepting new ones. “Eureka Hunt” by Jonah Lehrer delves into the science behind epiphanies, and suggests that we relax and take breaks to induce them.
