One after noon ,I was making an origami frog from an origami book .the book had delayed paper folding technics .But however good the illustrations and descriptions may be, some folds end up being very hard to understand .that after noon I stuck on one such fold .after a long struggle trying out different folds ,I was about to give and close the book, when I had this moment of realization and I knew how to do the fold.That was a Aha! moment for me. Some called Eureka !!Moment and some Wow!! moment.. Do u have such moments in life? what do u call them?

That is really nice that finally you figured it out to make that origami frog. I am doing some origami, simple paper folds that during my childhood it makes me smile, making origami ship.

@Ritu96 this is one thing I learned from my classmates, though in that time I never knew what is origami. Now I know its the art of paper folding.

Good job figuring it out you can always watch a youtube video demonstrating it if you can't figure out the book.

Sometimes, when I was puzzled with something, then found the answer or solution to it.

You are right, the instructions are not always well detailed. I often go to YouTube and look at videos to do things.
