The Pursuit of Happiness & Rubik's Cube
On some days I decide to conquer the silly cube and force it to show me all its colours arranged neatly on each side. It has never happened.I’ll do one layer. Feel happy and try some more. Mind you, I don’t use any of those fancy algorithms. So usually I just end up messing up. Finally I get bored and move on. Most of the times I just lose patience and put the Rubik’s cube in its corner. Something like a punishment – “Stand in the corner, you silly cube!” The silly cube sits in its corner and mocks me and challenges me for another tussle. I had given up these futile attempts after several humble defeats. Until I saw The Pursuit of Happiness.
So here are a few things I think I really need to finally conquer the silly cube.
Try. Try. Try. Try. Try. If you are not sure, try again.
You are GOD. You decide whether to rotate left or right. Only praying and crossing all your fingers and toes won't work.If you don't make that move, there's nobody else to make it for you. YOU are the TEAM. You play the coach, the manager, the player....
You have no control over the past and the future. What you have is NOW. Seize it and do what you want to do or lose it. You are never wrong. You might be just partially right. But wherever you are, there is still a way to reach where you want to be. There are no dead-ends. But you can always turn back anytime you want. And who could have done this better than Will Smith, whose life story is no less inspiring.

ReplyDeleteWow. Pursuit of Happyness was awesome. Especially in two places. One was what you just described and the other was the cave man scene. Problems are imaginary. So solutions can also be imaginary.
ReplyDelete"What you have is NOW". Wow again.
