Rubiks Cubes and Puzzles

In the 7th grade, a pivotal moment occurred that ignited my deep-seated passion for cubing. A fellow student solved a Rubik's cube that had been collecting dust in my house for years. My competitive nature couldn't let that achievement go unchallenged. I spent the next week struggling, learning, and eventually mastering the cube myself.

Solving cubes was not just about following algorithms; it was about understanding the deeper mechanics and developing a systematic approach to tackle such a formidable challenge.

They taught me how to think multivariate.

When you move a face of a cube to put the piece you want in place, You necessarily end up shifting other pieces. A cuber knows that the solution is almost always to move other faces first in such a way that moving the piece into position does not scramble the cube.

It is the same with everything.

99% of the people I interact with do not understand that by changing one variable, it could be in business, relationships, health, or life in general, everything else changes.

All actions have consequences, all decisions have costs.
