The Polynomial Contest

Hello All:

We have another Polynomial short story to share. This is actually a good story for me because it kind of resonates with yesterday at work. Today and much of this week was stressful and frustrating for me because of the issues that I was coping with. But, the lesson to be learned into today's featured writing is to simply relax and enjoy. That's when we realize success.

The Polynomial Contest

Once upon a time, there was a polynomial named P. P was a very happy polynomial, and he loved to play with his friends, the other polynomials. One day, P was playing with his friends when they decided to have a contest. The contest was to see who could factor the most polynomials.

P was very excited about the contest, and he studied hard so that he would be able to factor all of the polynomials. The day of the contest arrived, and P was ready. He factored all of the polynomials in the contest, and he won!

P was very happy, and he celebrated his victory with his friends. He learned that if he studied hard and practiced, he could do anything he set his mind to.

The next day, P was feeling very confident. He decided to try to factor a polynomial that was much harder than the ones he had factored in the contest. P worked on the polynomial for hours, but he couldn't figure out how to factor it.

P was starting to get frustrated. He didn't understand why he couldn't factor the polynomial. He had studied hard, and he had practiced, but he still couldn't do it.

P decided to take a break from the polynomial. He went for a walk to clear his head. As he was walking, he saw a flower. The flower was beautiful, and it reminded P of the reason why he loved mathematics. He loved mathematics because it was creative and beautiful.

P realized that he had been trying too hard to factor the polynomial. He had been so focused on winning that he had forgotten to enjoy the process. P decided to go back to the polynomial and try again, but this time he would focus on enjoying the process.

P worked on the polynomial for a few more hours, but this time he didn't get frustrated. He was enjoying the process of trying to figure out how to factor the polynomial.

Finally, after hours of work, P figured out how to factor the polynomial. He was so happy that he had finally figured it out. He learned that if he enjoyed the process, he would be more likely to succeed. 

The End!
