one point probably tried to solve when
you were younger and just as you were
somewhat getting it
you gave up maybe was out of frustration
or maybe you just didn’t have the time
this might sound a lot like your life
the challenges you happen to encounter
in your life and never really feel like
dealing with so you push them off this
is what we will try to overcome together
today by comparing your life to a
children’s toy before I start there are
some terms
I would like to familiarize you all with
an algorithm is a specific set of moves
you perform to the cube to manipulate
the pieces to be in the right place in
the algorithms I will be presenting
later each letter corresponds with the
side I will be turning for example if it
says R I will be turning the right side
of the cube clockwise and if it says RI
I will be turning the right side of the
cube counterclockwise now we can begin
the first thing you need to do is
actually scramble the cube this can be
one of the most daunting things to do
especially when you first buy one
because you’ll never know if you’ll ever
be able to solve it again but once you
finally muster up the guts to do it the
cube is completely random in a person’s
life I see this is when they are first
born new to everything and completely
unique
there are approximately 43 keene Tilian
ways to arrange the cube so I think it’s
safe to say that no two cubes will ever
be scrambled the same way just like no
two people in this world will ever be
completely the same the first step to
actually start solving the cube is by
making a white cross on top this can be
a difficult step for beginners
considering it’s the first thing you
have to do but it gets you started and
it’s a necessary step so I see this in a
person’s life as being their foundation
what person chooses to build everything
else in their life upon whether it’s a
religion or a more individual set of
beliefs it can be anything that person
the next step is solving the corner
pieces on top in a person’s life I see
this as being the people they turn to
when they can’t just rely on their
selves anymore on the cube there are
four and in my life I personally also
have for my mom dad sister and friends
these people get you through everything
in your life and encourage you to be a
better person the corner pieces set you
up for success and complete the first
layer the next step is solving the
middle layer edge pieces this can be a
tricky step considering you mess up half
the cube in placing new pieces I see
this in a person’s life as when a
problem arises they try to fix it but
ultimately end up creating another
problem and are stuck trying to fix that
as well but eventually everything will
now the middle layer is solved this last
thing you need to do is solve the third
side now usually what would happen is
there would be a yellow dot in the
middle a yellow L they’ll be placed in
the left-hand corner or a yellow
horizontal line now in this case just
like life
things can get messed up or even get
advanced so I already have the cross and
the whole yellow side solved but I see
the cross as being the tedious tax you
have to do in your life whether it’s job
work homework if you’re still in school
or anything that you see is completely
unnecessary but you need to do it to be
successful because usually that doesn’t
work the algorithm doesn’t work the
first time then you would have to solve
for the whole top side to be yellow I
see this as when in your life you have
to work with what you have got and roll
with the punches you never know what’s
going to come up in your life and you
always have to work around challenges
the last step of solving the cube is
placing the yellow edge pieces now
usually there will be three back here
and you place that in the back and then
you have three different colors around
here then you decide what are the cubes
need to turn clockwise or
counterclockwise and pick the algorithm
so on this one it needs to turn
clockwise so we do front front up left
right inverted front front left inverted
right in front up front front now the
cube is completely solved
all your efforts are completely seen
with the finished product it took hard
work and determination to get here but
it was a success
now I without that we are finished with
the cube I would like to leave you with
three lessons we can learn from it one
always try to have a strong foundation
of friends family and ideas
it makes conquering future endeavors so
much easier too sometimes solving a
problem may create other problems and
seem like you were moving backwards but
you’ll get to moving forward eventually
with hard work and determination and
three push forward in the face of
adversity Challenge makes you stronger while giving up gets you nothing thank
