Rubik's Cube

I bought my own Rubik's cube...

One of my entries in my bucket list reads, 'to solve the Rubik's Cube under 2 minutes'...

So I started working towards striking this entry off...

I will give it my first shot on Saturday...

Signing off...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I successfully managed to solve my first Rubik's Cube on Saturday...

I comfortably managed to solve it 5 times in a span of 1 hour on Sunday...

I effortlessly managed to solve it under 6 minutes on Monday...

I consistently cloaked under 7 minutes all day, no matter what else Iam up to...

Next target, under 4 minutes by next Saturday!

I managed to crack the fisher under 3 minutes, on tuesday...

Did not spend too much time on it but have it figured out for most part...

I think crossing the 2 minute barrier is only a matter of time...

Wish I find an equally challenging taget before I conquor this one...

Aristotle believes...

The chief condition of happiness, then, barring certain physical prerequisites, is the life of reason - the specific glory and power of man. Virtue, or rather excellence, will depend on clear judgment, self-control, symmetry of desire, artistry of means; it is not the possession of the simple man, nor the gift of innocent talent, but the achievement of experience in the fully developed man.Yet there is a road to it, a guide to excellence, which may save many detours and delays: it is the middle way, the golden mean. The qualities of character can be arranged in triads, in each of which the first and the last qualities will be extremes and vices, and the middle quality a virtue or an excellence. So between cowardice and rashness is courage, between sloth and greed is ambition, between stinginess and extravagance is liberality; between humility and pride is modesty; between secrecy and loquacity, honesty; between moroseness and buffoonery, good humor; between quarrelsome and flattery, friendship; between Hamlet's indecisiveness and Quixote's impulsiveness is self-control. "Right," then, is ethics or conduct, is not different from "right" in mathematics or engineering; it means correct, fit, what works best to the best results...
