Why I Cube
I picked up cubing as a fun puzzle at ten. Over time, it has become one of my favorite hobbies. Nevertheless, it is more than just solving a piece of puzzle. It is an iterative process of learning, understanding, and practing. Most importantly, it brings source of inspiration to keep challenging ourselves and pushing our limits.
