I recently solved a 3×3 rubix cube for the first time ever. I know many people have solved it , but for me it was something which I had already tried n number of times applying my own logic and had given up. I had tried and failed solving it many times without realising or completely unaware of an easy solution to solve it. Yesterday, I challenged myself that every day I would spend an hour for atleast 2 months approximating the time It would take to solve such a complex thing. Read what happend next.

Is It Hard Or Lack Of Right Knowledge.

With the challenge in place, I immediately searched youtube for possible solution which I had already done in the past but every time I would find some videos which were just complex or I just believed it was just a fake video. But luckily, I found the right video this time which provided the exact knowledge which was required to solve. That was it.It took me just 1.5 hours to go from "Not Possible at all" to "This was easier than I can think off"

One Right Solution Vs Million Wrong Solutions

With just solving it two more times, I was able to solve the rubix cube all 6 sides under 11 minute which is great for someone who thought it was damn hard.From "Not Possible at all" to "I could solve it under 11 minutes"

Under 11 :11 Minutes

Persistence - the most important quality every one needs to cultivate.But persistence combined with the right knowledge is what is really required.I would not have solved the cube even if I had tried million times using my own logic (old way). One should always try to learn from the knowledge which already exist in the world first rather than trying it and failing 100 times. It is not required to reinvent the wheel.We need to really put a lot of efforts in finding if solution really exists.

Solutions To Problems

Similarly,One should try to know from those who have solved the problem or achieved something through hard ways, to benifit from them, rather than being stubborn about finding your own ways.Sometimes the solution to problems exist always, you just have not found out the right knowledge to solve it while some people have already mastered it.Read books, its the easiest way you can directly have a conversation with someone who has mastered something.

Follow Someone/ Something Who Has Already Done It.

Is It Hard or Lack of Right Knowledge.

It's fascinating to know that the Human Brain knows how to carry out different scientific processes from birth even though we consciously neither feel it nor understand it unless we are taught about it.For Instance-1)Our Brain knows from birth that it has to invert the image formed in the retina to get the actual image but we know it only when we get to Higher classes.2)The Brain projects back the light rays that form the image at the retina in a straight line to know the Light Source even though 'we' don't know initially that light travels in straight line.

The human brain evolved ,too .

•Our brains were built for walking - 12 miles a day !• To improve your thinking skills, move.• Exercise gets blood to your brain, bringing it glucose&nbsp;for energy and oxygen to soak up the toxic electrons&nbsp;that are left over. It also stimulates the protein that keeps&nbsp;neurons connecting.• Aerobic exercise just twice a week halves your risk of&nbsp;general dementia. It cuts your risk of Alzheimer’s by 60&nbsp;percent.&nbsp;

An updated and expanded edition of the international bestseller Most of us have no idea what’s really going on inside our heads. Yet brain scientists have uncovered details that every business leader, parent, and teacher should know — for instance, that physical activity helps to get your brain working at its best. How do we learn? What do sleep and stress do to our brains? Why is multitasking a myth? Why is it so easy to forget — and so important to repeat new information? In Brain Rules, Dr John Medina, a molecular biologist, shares his lifelong interest in brain science, and how it can influence the way we teach our children and the way we work. In each chapter, he describes a brain rule — what scientists know for sure about how our brains work — and offers transformative ideas for our daily lives. In this expanded edition — which includes additional information on the brain rules and a new chapter on music — you will discover how every brain is wired differently, why memories are volatile, and how stress and sleep can influence learning. By the end, you’ll understand how your brain really works — and how to get the most out of it.

Brain Rules

Why is the focus on breath during meditation? Why not a sound or feeling? All are valid options, but the breath is the default because it's one action that happens unconsciously (we can breathe without thinking of breathing) but that we can also direct if we pay attention to it. Breathing is like a bridge between two worlds. In Zen this is called effortless effort.

Effortless Effort 

Mindfulness

Why focus on the breath when meditating

For ages the common thought was that during rest our mind is resting. But science proved that our minds are active even when we are not doing anything. This is what's called the default network. We are not resting, we are lost in thought.Our thoughts (in this default mode) focus on the past or the future and they come with an emotional baggage that build anxiety. It's like a slow drip of continuous suffering.

Default Network - the slow dip of suffering

Life happens now. But an unexamined mind bounces between anxiety caused by ruminating about the past or fearing the future.Sitting meditation is an exercise in awareness of this default mode. We sit to know the world how it really is. This awareness created the opportunity for more present living. It's an exercise in regulating our minds.You have to notice you are in a Matrix so you can start having glimpses of Reality.
