I’m passionate! I’m strong! I won’t let you down. I know I can do this. I’m sure you’ll be proud of what I’ll do. I know I’ll be great, this is my fate.
“You don’t know how to do this yet.”
Trust me. I’ll learn. Have faith in me. Here I go! I’m ready to win. So let’s begin!
“Remember how pathetic you failed first time you tried?”
You’re right I made lots of mistakes. But I’ll learn from the mistakes I make.
“I still don’t think, I don’t believe, don’t trust that you can do this thing.”
I’ll prove you wrong! I’m sure I can. I’m strong, I’m ready to be the man.
“Just don’t forget, don’t fail this time.”
I won’t. I’ll surely do my best.
“And don’t get lazy once again.”
I won’t; I’ll try to pass this test.
“Don’t slack, don’t lose, don’t fail this year.”
I’ll try… I’ll try.
“You’d better not fail this time around.”
I know… I know. Can’t let you down.
“And don’t forget you lost it once.”
Okay, I know. I still remember. You know that I’m not proud of that.
“Just don’t want you to fail again.”
I understand.
“Promise you won’t fail this time.”
I can’t, there is no guarantee. I promise I’ll try. I promise you that I believe I’ll do my best. I know I will — I think I shall…
“That’s not enough. I can’t have you failing this time.”
I won’t! At least, I’ll try not to… I think this time I will succeed.
“You just can’t fail again this time. Don’t you forget!”
I said I’ll try…
“And don’t forget how much I’m putting into this, how much I sacrifice for you. So don’t you lose.”
I think… I’ll try… I’m not sure if I’m sure I will.
“So tell me. Can I rest assured? You will succeed? You will not fail? Won’t make those bad mistakes again?”
Maybe… Sure! — Well, probably not.
“You’ll fail? You cannot do, you say??”
No no… I can. Wait, what am I doing?
“Ugh, just forget it. Listen when I say you cannot do this thing. I know best.”
I forget. What can’t I do?
“Nothing!”
Right.
