son: I didn't get the grades in math, chemistry and physics that i wanted. Now the MIT won't accept me. Is there anything I can do?

father: no. there is nothing you can do. All you can do however, is learn by heart, and apply to your future, Gandhi's famous phrase 'you write you write your life in indelible ink'. What you can do is go study history or some other social science discipline at Columbia University
