Let $f(x)$ be a polynomial with rational coefficients and $\alpha$ be a real number such that $$\alpha^3 - \alpha = [f(\alpha)]^3 - f(\alpha) = 33^{1992}.$$ Prove that for each $n \geq 1,$ $$\left [ f^{n}(\alpha) \right]^3 - f^{n}(\alpha) = 33^{1992},$$ where $f^{n}(x) = f(f(\cdots f(x))),$ and $n$ is a positive integer.
