The Rubiks Cube

I got a Rubik's cube a few weeks ago, and I decided to try it. I've seen only one person do it live in my entire life. People always say how easy it is, but still in my life I have only seen one person do it: Niv Fishbein.

So I started fiddling around with the 3x3x3 colored box twisting it every way, thinking that at some point I will get there.

I was wrong. My friends would watch me do struggle with this cube, and I would become more and more comically frustrated; however none of my friends were doing it.

I am not saying they are not capable of doing it, I'm sure one can teach a monkey how to do it. The fact remains that none of my friends were doing it. Some of my friends conceited that they would not be able to do it, but they would challenge me.

If you are just starting to understand who I am, I take these challenges seriously. I will not give up no matter how hard it may be. I am not saying that this is my life's goal, but it is something that I will get done. I am starting to get a good grasp of these cubes, and how they fit with each other.

The bottom line is: being stubborn.

NO. FAILURE. ALMOST.

None of those words mean anything to me, the only time these words will be said by me are in the context of "No problem.", "That bank was a failure too.", and "Almost Famous" a great movie.

The point that I am trying to get across, is that when I succeed I don't want that pat on the back, I don't want the recognition, nor do I want anybody to be surprised.

I will succeed and move on to my next thing. I will keep going because that's the only thing I know how to do. I do not need to make "to do lists"...

When all the colors to the Rubik's cube find themselves in perfect order, I will consider that normal. If someone is impressed by it, that's not normal. Perfection to me is the only way to get something done.

Sleep is for the weak. People can't be stressed out by life, because that is just another excuse for failure. I said I don't do that!

One of my mentors, James Brecher, said, "If you say something enough, people will start to believe it."

Maybe that was supposed to be a secret, however, since very few people actually read this blog, because they are too busy to be entertained or educated in a better way I am not too worried.

I don't waste my time blogging about other people. This is me. What you do, who you know and how you got there doesn't matter to me. I will see you when I see you.
