Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Resist the urge to boast. Compliment your opponent's efforts. Recognize the contributions of your teammates. Reflect on victories to gain insight.

Answer: Bragging about your successes can annoy others and make you appear arrogant. Instead, humbly acknowledge your victories without much pomp and circumstance. Try to avoid saying things like, "That's right! You ate my dust!" or calling your opponent a "loser" after winning a race. This doesn't mean you shouldn't celebrate victoriesjust don't go out of your way to rub the loser's nose in your victory. Even if you surpassed your competition in the end, they still put up a fight. Give them credit for the energy they put into the competition. This goes a long way towards you earning other's respect and staying humble. For example, if you and another coworker both were up for a promotion, you might say, "Jake, you were a very worthy candidate. I know it's only a matter of time before you're promoted." Be sure you do this humbly and authentically. It shouldn't serve as a way for you to show off. Destructive competitors boast and claim all the credit for themselves. However, to compete in a non-destructive way, it's a good idea to acknowledge the help and cooperation you received from othersespecially those who are on your side. If you're successful at something, be sure to identify others, such as teammates or mentors, who are responsible for helping you get the victory. This might sound like, "Thanks, everyone, but I couldn't have done it without Janice. Her talent was essential to the win." When you do this, you become a team-player. Showing respect and consideration for your teammates is just as important as being civil with your competitors. After a victory, take some time to think about what went right and what could have been improved. This will help you to learn from the experience and improve your chance of more future successes. Ask yourself: What did my team and I do well? What do my team and I need to work on?

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Remove the grease. Use a stain remover. Agitate the stain. Wash the shirt. Take it to a professional.

Answer: The first thing you want to do is to remove the grease, so that you can reach the stain underneath. There are a number of ways to do this and which you choose should be based on preference and what is available to you. Try: Soaking the shirt in dish detergent. Cover the collar stain in regular liquid dish soap, like Dawn. Let it soak for an hour (or more) and then rinse it out. The shirt will probably need to be wet first, to really help the soap soak in. Using Fast Orange or similar degreasers. Use products like Fast Orange, which are designed to cut through kitchen grease. Spray them on, allow them to soak for 5 minutes, and then rinse them away. Be careful of very harsh products though, as these can irritate the skin. Using shampoo for greasy hair. Using shampoo designed for greasy hair in a similar process as described above for Dawn can yield surprising results. Adding to the grease. If none of the other methods work, some people swear by adding more grease to the shirt collar. In theory, the new fat molecules bond to the old ones and help drawn them out. Use products like lanolin hand cleaners, which can be found at drug stores or car shops. After you've gotten the grease out, you should be left with the actual stain. It should be much easier to remove with the grease gone. Again, there are a few different approaches. Use Shout. This is a common, basic, stain removal product available at many stores. Spray it on, let it set, and wash the shirt as normal. Use Oxyclean. This is another common cleaning product. If you don't have Oxyclean, you can make your own: it's basically just baking soda and hydrogen peroxide mixed together. Oxyclean will need to be placed on the stain and may need to be worked around to get the lifting effect. Just rub the shirt against itself. Though it certainly shouldn't be your first option, you will likely get better results if you agitate the stain. Use an old toothbrush to gently scrub at the stain while it is covered in the degreaser or stain-remover. As long as you don't do this too often (rely on preventative measures), your shirt should be fine and remain unharmed. After you've used the degreaser and stain-remover, you can wash the shirt as normal. Do not dry the shirt, however, until you've done as much as you can to remove the stain. A dryer is a great way to set-in stains. If you're not having any luck, try taking the shirt to a professional dry cleaner. They may have better ways of removing the stain, and a single shirt rarely costs very much money at all.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Build the lightest frame possible. Make the frame long and narrow. Use glue instead of nails wherever possible. Keep your frame's structural integrity in mind.

Answer:
Above all, your car should be light. The smaller the mass of your car, the better every gram or milligram you can shave off of your car's frame is a little further your mousetrap will be able to push your car. Try not to have any extra frame material beyond what's necessary to keep your mousetrap and wheel axles in place. If you see wasted space on your frame, try removing it, or, if this is impossible, make holes in it with a drill to bring its weight down. You'll also want to use the lightest material possible for your frame. Here are just a few suitable ones: Balsa wood Hard plastic sheets Thin, light metal sheets (aluminum/tin roofing material, etc.) Building toys (K'NEX, Legos, etc.) Ideally, you want your car to be shaped aerodynamically that is so that it presents the smallest possible surface area in the direction it will travel. Like an arrow, a longboat, an airplane, or a spear, a vehicle that's designed with maximum efficiency in mind will almost always have a long, skinny shape to minimize drag from air resistance. For the purposes of your mousetrap car, this will mean making your frame both narrow (though it will be difficult to get your frame any narrower than the mousetrap itself) and vertically skinny. Remember, to minimize drag, you're trying to give your car the narrowest, smallest profile possible. Try getting down on the ground and looking at your car from the front to spot pieces of the frame that make your car's profile unnecessarily large. Wherever you can, try to use glue in your car's design, rather than nails, pins, or other heavier solutions. For instance, you should only need to use just a few small spots of glue to fix your mousetrap to the frame. Generally, the glue will hold just as well as nails, which can add unnecessary weight. Use super glue not school glue it won't hold as good. Another advantage of glue is that it shouldn't usually affect your car's air resistance. On the other hand, if either end of a nail sticks out of your frame, it can have a minor effect. The only limiting factor when it comes to how light and skinny you can make your mousetrap car's frame is its fragility if it's too light, it may become so fragile that the action of springing the mousetrap breaks the car apart. The delicate balance between achieving the maximum distance and making your car unstable can be quite tricky to get right, but don't be afraid to experiment. The mousetrap itself is unlikely to ever break, so as long as you have extra frame material, you'll have the freedom to make mistakes. If you're using an extra-fragile material like balsa wood and you're having a hard time getting your frame to hold together, consider adding a small strip of a sturdier material like metal or plastic on the underside of the frame. Doing this increases the structural strength of the car while minimizing the change to its air resistance and weight.
