Let's learn Rubik's cube

Ever since elementary, I already find it fascinating seeing how my cousins skillfully solve a Rubik's cube. When I was on high school, my brother in law's nephew had a vacation in them and he happened to be good at Rubik's cube, he tried teaching me but I wasn't able to learn it but before he go home since vacation's over, he left his 3x3 Rubik's cube with me and that's when I tried teaching myself on how to solve it through watching a video on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaltgJGz-dU Above is the same tutorial video I watched from which I learned how to solve a 3x3 Rubik's cube. I was on the shower earlier when I have thought of this random idea about writing about Rubik's cube and how I can relate it in real life lessons. So, let's see how it goes. There is no perfect formula or exact algorithm on how we can live our lives First step to solve a 3x3 Rubik's cube is to make a cross. As a beginner and a first time learner on how to solve it, this feels like the hardest step for there is no exact algorithm that we can follow into making a cross. What we need here is deep thinking and analyzation on how are we going to make a cross that is properly aligned its respective color in the center piece. And if we are going to relate it to life, indeed, there is no perfect formula on how are we going to live. We make our own steps and we just hope for the best. We analyze our actions and we think hard for our next steps. There is no prepared steps for us, we have to find it ourselves, we have to figure it out. Life is a process After figuring it out, that is when things will get clearer and we'll get a glimpse of the next process. But this time, things can be a little bit easier. After making a cross, we have to align the corners and that is also the step wherein we can finally finish the first layer. After the first layer, we have to align the edges on the 2nd layer before we can finally proceed to the last layer. Life is a process and we can't proceed to the next step if we're not yet done with the previous one. Well, there are instances wherein we skip steps and proceed to the next step without even accomplishing the previous one, but that will also be a waste of time since we'll still have to go back to the previous steps and fix it so that we can tell that we are finally done. Life is a step by step process and on each process, know that we can take our time. There is no time limit on how fast or slow are we going to solve the Rubik's or on how much time are we going to spend on this particular process. The point is that there is a process but we can always do things on our own pace. No rush. Trust the process, be in the process and soon enough, like the Rubik's cube, we'll be able to solve it. We have the ability to influence others Going back on the time when I learned how to solve the Rubik's cube, I think I was on Grade 9 or 10 that time and I used to always bring my Rubik's cube at school. My seatmate was in awe so I taught her how to solve it. I was also able to caught the interest of my other friends and I also taught them how to solve it. Until soon enough, all of them on my circle of friends and almost all of us in the class learned how to solve a Rubik's cube. It was so fun racing with them on who's the fastest into solving the Rubik's cube. LOL. But the point here is that we can use what we know to influence others and to share our knowledge to others. We know what we can do and it would be nice to do what we can do so that others can see it and because of that, we can inspire them to do the same. Let us use what we know and what we can do to influence others in a good way. We'll never know, maybe the simple thing we know can help a lot of person and works like a domino reaction like what happened to our whole class learning how to solve the Rubik's cube. Learning doesn't stop, it evolves It has been so long since I last played Rubik's cube and so recently, I purchased different sizes of Rubik's cube and that is 2x2, 3x3, 4x4 and 5x5. I only know how to solve the 3x3 but I wanted to learn the other cubes too.

On the very same day when I receive the parcel, I quickly learned how to solve the 2x2 and on the next day, I can already solve the 4x4 but still, I need to have a guide on the last layer since there are lots of parity that can show up and there are different algorithms that I can use to solve them. Some are too long that's why I haven't memorized it until now. But my point here is that learning doesn't stop. We might already know how to solve the 3x3 but we can always look for another things that we can learn. And this time, it evolves for we are going to learn a much harder thing. Learning is continuous and there will always be new challenges that we will face but just like the Rubik's cube, everything is possible to be solved. We just have to allot time, effort and energy into learning how to solve it. I have been playing the Rubik's cube a lot lately so that must be the reason why I was able to come up with this. There are still a lot of lessons that solving Rubik's cube have taught me but this is it for now. I hope that we all learned how to solve the Rubik's today. I mean, not literally the Rubik's, but the lessons that it has taught me. Hehe Anyways, thank you so much for reading this far.
