Hello and welcome to One-Minute Insights. Today we’re diving into a New York Times Magazine essay titled “How the Rubik’s Cube Taught Me to Be a Better Parent.” The author confesses that puzzles were never her hobby—until her five-year-old son handed her a scrambled cube and said, “Mommy, solve this.” With no clue but fierce determination, she turned to YouTube’s “The Easiest 10-Minute Rubik’s Cube Lesson,” replaying it fifty times as she twisted and clicked late into the night. Like parenting itself, she discovered, the process demands trial and error, patience, and the humility to “show up, try, fail and change course.” Two weeks later, she finally solved the cube—only to watch her son shout, “Let’s do it again!” His delight reminded her that parenting is not about perfection but about shifting your energy toward someone else. And just like a Rubik’s Cube, life’s challenges yield to practice, perseverance, and a willingness to keep turning the pieces. Thanks for listening.
