Math\u2019s challenges are as sure as the tide
\nJust a matter of when, so why not decide?
\nTo embrace these challenges as ways to grow
\n\u2018Tis folly to ignore what you already know.
\nMake a vow to adapt to the crises of math
\nThere\u2019s no reason to suffer more stress or strife
\nQuite often math becomes a blessing in time
\nWhile making you wiser in pursuit of your prime.
\nNo math is impossible, no one is exempt
\nYou can step out in faith or shrug with contempt.
\nMath comes in cycles, no two are the same
\nTo claim nothing\u2019s new is a na\u00efve game.
\n[\u2026]
\nPlus a noble purpose to guide you each day
\nAnd give life meaning as you forge your way
\nFor most things are math, it\u2019s a natural law
\nYou can believe this is truth or stand there in awe.
\nIt may be uncomfortable, it may cause pain–
\nBut won\u2019t giving up be a greater strain?
\n[\u2026]
\nBe willing to risk and you\u2019re bound to find
\nMore courage and strength from a positive mind
\nBe bold, be daring, be receptive to math
\n[\u2026]
\nGet out of the rut, seek a new vitality
\nMove beyond the old to a fresh reality.
\nAh, math has challenges, they won\u2019t disappear
\nRise up to greet them and conquer your fear.
\nThe choice is simple, it\u2019s as clear as can be:<\/p>\n
Will you master math or will math master you?<\/p>\n
