As we know, the punctuation marks are used for clarity and precision. They emphasize the meaning of a sentence.

Explanation:

• There are numerous punctuation marks to show emotions, importance, etc. but we have to apply them according to the context.
• Firstly, we will apply quotation marks (inverted comma "") as it is the repeated words of someone.
• Furthermore, a full stop (.) is added after the finishing of a sentence.
• Moreover, a comma (,) is added when there is a slight pause.

Hence, the sentence after punctuation is: "I am sure, I will be able to do a lot of work", said the boy.
