The next day at the club, Ding asks about his health. He says that zhishan still wants to know about what happened, and that he was distracted from pursuing his dream. He admits that he is in poor health, and has little talent. He feels that he has given up on the game of snooker, and he is ready to work harder to become a professional. He asks why he is so afraid of missing a single ball. A single mistake can lead to a lifetime of failure, he says. The next masters tournament is only three days away, and if he does not sign up, he will lose his prize money.
