Hi everyone, there is a problem in this world, but the internet is the ultimate weapon for solutions to almost all problems. So today I am going to share a fun story that happened to me. I was at my house when my brother bought two or three Rubik's cubes for us to solve. I thought that if I matched one side, it would automatically be solved. But my sister-in-law used the internet to learn how to solve the Rubik's cube, and when she did it, I was so jealous. If she can do this, I can do this too. I started to learn how to solve it. I opened YouTube and typed in how to solve a Rubik's cube, and I found a video tutorial. Then I started to solve it step by step. I think it was about 12 to 13 steps, and I had to memorize all these steps one by one. I wrote down the steps on how to solve it. There are some moves like R U, R U, R U, R U, which is right. We have to use some moves to solve one side, then the second side, then the third side, and then the rest of them are solved automatically. This YouTube tutorial helped me a lot, and I learned how to solve it. I learned this in one day, yes, in one night. The amount of jealousy, the amount of, well, it's not good to have this kind of feeling, but I had to solve it. I thought, why can't I do that? If she can do anything, I can do that too. So that was my motivation for the moment. By using this tutorial, I could easily solve the cube, and I could sleep very peacefully that night. After solving it, I felt like, yes, okay, I did something right, and I can do this too. It was a burden off my chest.
