Less Than Four Seconds

Published: Thu, 02/10/22

On May 6th 2018 Feliks Zemdegs completed a Rubik’s Cube in less than five seconds (4:22!) setting a world record that no one could beat.

That’s faster than the time it took you to read the last sentence.

Then along came Yusheng Du who did it in 3:47!

Less than four seconds.

What can you do in less than four seconds?

Possibly not a Rubik’s Cube, but there are lots of things that take less than four seconds and can make a positive difference.

Here are a few to get you started:

Apologise - I mean properly say you’re sorry

Give a compliment

Change your mind - I love this one.

Pick up a piece of rubbish.

Smile – do it for the full four.

Let someone out in front of you.

Chew your food a little longer.

Leave a few kind words (more than just a ‘like’) on a social media post.

I'd like to know your thoughts on positive things you can do that take less than four seconds.

Be Brilliant!

PS If you'd like to watch a (very short) video of Yusheng Du breaking the Rubik’s Cube world record you can see that here too.

Yes we’re recruiting! I’m looking for a very special person to join the Michael Heppell team.
