Good evening!
Mobility of Rubik Cube.
I want to tell you about the idea of ​​Rubik’s magic cube movement.
I hope that what I will say now is well established and known.
First thing, the rubik is simply a cube we use as a toy,
You just need to have all sides the same color.
This is his job.
Like many inventions, it was named after his invention.
That inventor was a university professor, was an engineer,
He wanted to explain the idea to the students.
In 1974, Erno Rubik invented the cube.
The purpose was to convey information, not just a game.
What did he want to do?
He wanted to tell people that it was possible to change the knees of any body,
Without moving the whole body.
And this is what is really happening is moving one side,
But there are two sides that remain as they are.
This is the goal and that is the idea that he wanted to deliver.
But then, his game was made,
People began to know it as a game.
Since 1974 until 2009.
It was classified as a toy and sold a large number.
In 2009, sales reached 350 million cubic meters.
But I love comparisons.
I want to know what that figure stands for.
In 2009, the 350 million figures were larger than the population in all Arab countries.
350 million game!
Well, what’s next?
Also in 2009,
The 350 million people were more than the number of Internet users
Who are in all these places and not in one place.
It has sold a large number.
Let’s look at the cube in a different way,
The cube has many fittings,
You can reach many possibilities
They are simply: 1810 x 43.
1810 is billion billion.
A very large number called Quentillion in English.
Quentillion is a huge number!
The 43 quintillion is greater than the distance traveled by light in a hundred years.
Too many possibilities!
Almost nothing has that number of possibilities.
But I would like to tell you that there are things that have more possibilities,
Your life.
With greater potential than those,
How? lets see.
If we consider that your life is the set of decisions that you take while you are alive.
You have many decisions that determine the path you will take.
Let’s take an example of someone who will live 60 years.
And passes through many stages.
OK.
If we assume that every day he will make only one decision,
This is almost impossible.
Because you make a decision while crossing the street.
Eating food at home or abroad is a decision.
Waking up from sleep, touching the phone or washing your face is a decision.
Making one decision a day is impossible.
But we will assume that someone will live for 60 years,
He will take one decision a day
Each decision will result in two outcomes.
Of course, each outcome will lead to another decision.
But we will prove it.
Will take one decision a day for 60 years,
Each decision will take two routes.
Do you know how many possibilities will be?
Huge number!
Much larger than the 43 quintillion cubic meters.
This is already a practical example,
That many possibilities for the cube.
Life has much greater potential.
I want to talk to you at a point.
We have now … As long as I have many decisions,
Which defines my directions
I have to start filtering, why?
So do not become a copy, even become different.
Some people disagree with others that they are not following the same goal.
I have to filter, as long as these decisions determine my direction.
As long as I have unlimited possibilities, or a limited but very large number.
So I have to filter the decisions until I see which way you will take me.
OK.
I would like today to simply compare this cube to your life.
So we see what possibilities or options that might exist
In both the cube and your life, okay.
The first thing we’ll talk about is
You use this cube as a game, but for a game goal.
Imagine you have reached a one-color side.
Who thinks he’s finished?
Let him lift his hand!
Who sees that I have not finished yet ?!
I did not finish, because my goal is to end the whole cube.
This is exactly what happens during the decisions I make.
I do not have to be happy with the first achievement.
I have to wait and ask,
Is this what I really wanted to reach?
Or is it a deceptive outcome?
Not the ideal result I want to reach.
So look at the whole picture.
Not just ending up on one side means you’ve just finished.
No, first look at your goal and then at the whole picture.
OK.
The second thing, when I grabbed this cube,
I feel it is a challenge.
I feel the challenge and the desire to reach its colors.
That is the challenge.
At the same time, you have many challenges in your life
They are numbered.
It is not a condition to be shared.
But I will talk about some of the challenges that can be shared.
OK.
The first challenge from the beginning since I was young is the study
No matter how you study, no matter what your position, studying is always a challenge.
When you reach a higher stage when you grow up,
Driving a car becomes a challenge,
And it becomes a big problem.
At another stage, when you live alone
Cooking becomes a challenge for you.
The challenge exists, whatever its effect on the person
When you grow up, you will feel that your time is a challenge.
You will feel as if you are being around yourself.
You have an appointment for final delivery at the university, you have a deadline for final delivery at work.
I am connected to many things, and I conduct myself.
Time has become a challenge.
I started to feel the value of this time.
This is a challenge.
After that, the subject will come.
Function, regardless of location or country, is a challenge.
Why? Because you know and sure they will filter people.
And inside you are afraid not to be appropriate.
This is a challenge.
So later you’re in the job probably feel like this place
Not suitable for you.
Feel inside you a problem.
Part of the job is a big part of our lives.
Indeed, it is a challenge.
What also affects us?
At one point, you may feel that money is a challenge
Which is your love or hatred of this principle
But it is already a challenge, you may need something and you can not access it
The only reason is money.
That is the challenge.
And then, there are emotional things,
Emotional challenges in youth.
for example,
When you are impressed with someone,
It becomes a challenge for you, you have to like everything you say and you should be approached by everything you do
He will not keep you away from him.
For this you do not know, put yourself under terrible pressure
Or a big challenge until you reach this person.
We may look at this as a joke.
But it happens with you and me and with others.
Even if you want to deny it, but it does exist.
Research says that one of the most difficult emotional challenges to be in a relationship,
Or seek it, this is something that exists.
Emotional challenges are increased when you lose someone.
This will happen sooner or later.
I will lose someone from my friends or family maybe this has already happened and maybe not.
But they are facts, and we must know that they may occur now,
Or after a day or a year,
These are the challenges.
and what else?
The last stage is after you grow up,
Some people become the challenge for them is that they can not
Get out of bed and walk up to the first floor or onto the street.
At a stage in our life, the challenge will bring us to this level.
You can not pick up the phone and call someone because you’re tired.
There is a problem in your life.
This is a challenge, perhaps pass by and maybe not.
That’s why I think the cube is challenging, at the same time
There are many challenges in our lives.
So you choose common things.
But there are things that do not happen to all people
There are challenges other than the above and may not occur with all people.
I will give you an example:
People living in glacial areas (Eskimo).
Well, how much do we define about snow?
We call it snow, we have no other definition.
But these people have 30 definitions of snow.
Why? Because his daily challenge is to trample on this spot,
He trusts that it is solid and stable and will not come to him.
This type is different and this is a third type I can walk it for a second or two
But I should not walk on the fourth type.
The daily challenge of this man is to calculate every step he takes.
I have these people 30 kinds of snow.
OK.
I would like to share with you a challenge or story that happened to me.
I was once in Germany and one of them took the door on me,
I woke up from sleep so I looked at the clock
And found that it was the third dawn.
I opened the door and found someone in front of me drowning in his blood
The earth is covered with blood.
He says to me very simply: Can you open the door for me?
I did not know what to do in this situation.
First thing, I woke up with this view and blood-soaked ground in front of me.
It was difficult.
The first challenge here is that the man needed medical treatment.
In Germany you are not permitted to provide treatment if you are not authorized to do so.
This is the challenge, will I do his tricks and do anything or leave it as it is?
Risking this challenge,
It is possible for a man to wake up the next day,
I think I did this to him, because he was not aware last night
It causes me a problem.
This is a challenge, situations occur,
The challenges that occur in our lives vary from person to person.
Return to the cube and your life.
Take another example shared on Monday.
Should I be a copy of my predecessors?
In the cube, this is possible and why not?
I want to know how to finish the first stage,
I will continue after that and finish the whole cube.
No problem, that’s good.
Before the world carries out its idea, he is acquainted with his predecessors.
And completes after them
This is not wrong.
But if your whole lifestyle becomes like that, it will become a copy of someone else.
Take what is in your hand and build on it but do not become just a burner,
Copied, copied, copied and copied,
Your decisions and personality must appear.
It is not the meaning of appearance that people point to you,
But to be your own personality.
Copying in the case of the cube may work, but copying in life may be useful,
But not in the exaggerated form. So as not to become a duplicate of someone else.
Well, what’s next?
If I have rules … break rules …
If I had this cube but I failed, what would I do?
I will smash it, and paste the colors together and give it to someone and tell him I’m finished.
What do you think?
Did not it end? I have finished, and the colors are all similar to each other
But if he came to take the cube and hit the ground,
What will happen then?
It will crash, because I broke it from the ground and you re-paste it, to show the final result.
At the same time you can not break the rules in many things in your life.
Not because anyone saw you and will refer to you,
But because its outcome will not be stable.
It will not be something fixed.
Like a cube, once you catch it and hit the ground it crashes!
Your process must be stable.
Do not copy anyone and do not break the rules can be reached in another way,
Even if you see that the problems are different.
Well, what’s next?
Is the ideal goal to finish the cube?
Yes, this is a goal I want to reach.
But in your life, is it ideal to know everything?
No, not a condition.
There are things you want to know, try and know about.
There are many things that will pass before you and do not know what they mean
We can not reach it, this is not a problem.
But there is no need to check.
I do not mean to be a random person.
But if you put in your mind that you have to understand everything from the ground up.
In all its details, will tire.
It’s not like the cube you want to end.
You do not have to end it.
You have to do what you want to reach.
See where you want to arrive and build on this basis.
But if you set a goal to finish the cube, you’ll get a bit tired.
Why? Because not everything we reach, there are those who die before reaching its goal.
Can we say that he is a bad man?
No, I’ve tried this guy which was the step he stopped at.
You do not have to quit the cube.
You do not have to reach the meaning of everything in your life.
So do not get tired, you do not have to check everything.
The man who invented this cube (Ernso Rubik)
He says that the problem in this cube depends on you.
It is already possible that you and you are stuck by your side
Same cube with the same combinations, start with each other but you end it is not.
Why? Because the problem depends on you.
Do not count that the problem is the end of the road, no.
The problem tells you: Show me what you’re going to do.
This is a way!
I caught the cube and my goal was simply to compare it to life.
I found many things in common
There’s more, but that’s what I’ve been able to reach and think about.
That’s why I want you to think,
What can be shared between each other?
What thing might benefit the two, and tell me this thing is in the cube,
And exists in life.
I would be happy to receive your responses or thoughts on the common thing between cube and life.
If you want to write me anything, I will be very happy.
Because I like to think about common things
Mena Raafat claimed I was glad I was with you.
In the rubik cube movement.
Thank.
