Even if you make mistakes, no harm. And if you can sing the song three times every day — it can be all at the same time or at three different times — I shall be very grateful to you and I shall be very, very, very, very — a million times — proud of you. This will definitely help you in your life of aspiration.”<html></div></html> <html>
