No, Mark. How many times do I have to repeat it? I can't do that. Yeah, I know. I know it's not correct, but I really can't do that, no matter what. No, don't insist（坚持）.

  Of course, he won't understand. He will never forgive（原谅） me. I don't know. I'll have to find a solution myself, but he can't find out. No, my dad can't find out. He won't forgive me.

  What I did was something totally（完全地） wrong. May I know what is that terrible thing you can't tell me, Richard? I want to know. Dad, hello. No, it's nothing. You heard wrong（不正确地）.

  No, I heard very well. You were telling your best friend you did something terrible, and I want to know. Dad, I'm really sorry. Please forgive me. I'm so sorry. I promise it will never happen again.

  Just give me an opportunity, please. I failed this time, but I promise I will pass the next exam. I don't know what happened to me. I studied hard, but I couldn't make it. I promise it won't happen again. Forgive me.

  Wait a minute. That terrible thing you did was that you failed your midterm exam? Yes, but it won't happen again. I don't know what happened. Please. That's okay, son.

  Why would I get angry just because of an exam? Well, I never failed an exam. I always got excellent grades（等级）. I'm the best student. Or, well, I was the best student with this failure（失败）. I don't know anymore.

  Oh, God. Are you serious? No, you can't be serious. Son, that's okay. I mean, it's okay to fail sometimes. It's not a big deal（买卖）.

  It is for me. It's the first time I fail an exam and I feel terrible. I can't believe it. Okay（好）, we need to talk about it. I will tell you why failure is also important. Failure teaches us about love, relationships, money, business, and people.

  Failure sets（设置） the stage for us to reach our goals.
