Little Kids and Cubes

[Hepheron]

My little Brother currently knows how to solve the cube, though he has some difficulties, such as recalling algorithms, i know this could come in practice for him, though he doesn't seem to at all want to cube, how do you think i could inspire him to do the cube more.

 

[*LukeMayn*]

well you could just let him do what he wants to....
If he was more passionate about cubing, he would want to learn more.

how do you think i could inspire him to do the cube more.

Well, how little is he? If he's 5, pay someone to dress up as a Power Ranger, have the Power Ranger watch you cube, and then exclaim how awesome it is. If he's 11, pay someone to dress up as Spiderman, have Spidey watch you cube, and then exclaim how awesome it is. If he's 15, pay some girl to watch you cube, and the exclaim how awesome it is, and have her throw herself at you.

But yeah, if he's not interested, he's not interested. Has he ever asked you do something he wanted and you refused because it was "dumb"?

 

[Hepheron]

Yeah he is 8 though i try to encourage him, and i try to be nice, i guess i will wait a while, maybe like a week to see if he will do it.

Hey most 11 year olds i know don't like Spiderman more like 7 year olds

Not really sure how this relates to little kids, some people just aren't motivated to do it...

Don't force him. Cubing isn't for everyone.

I've heard that genius is more "will" than actual gift. I'm not saying it takes a genius to solve the cube (mainly cuz I can solve it lol). But yeah if he wants to be good at the cube he will be.

Lately I have been feeling less motivated to cube. I am curious how you are going to fix that

Something along the lines of paying someone to yell "Suck it up, you're a grown man!" at you.

Okay, I have lost motivation in cubing, can I have that girl?

I think you're misinterpreting my explanation. The girl would be throwing herself at the person who is cubing. The non-cuber would then think they could achieve the same results by cubing. So your real question should be: "Does anyone around here need some motivation?"

Of course, in your situation, maybe you want to pay someone to be a non-cuber and then find a girl and tell her your trying to motivate the other person to cube. Or maybe you just want to make a video and put it on YouTube so you can motivate the world....or at least that's what you should tell the girl.

I'd do it, but my wife would eventually find the video and ask who the girl was.

Oh, and today, some 11-year-old at church mentioned how they liked Spiderman...or at least the video game...
