Letter written by a Father to his Son:
Beautiful letter written by a father to his son! This applies to
daughters too. Use this in your teachings to your children.
Following is a letter to his son from a renown Hong Kong TV
broadcaster cum Child Psychologist. The words are actually applicable
to all of us, young or
old, children or parents.!
I am writing this to you because of 3 reasons
1.Life, fortune and mishaps are unpredictable, nobody knows how long
he lives. Some words are better said early.
2. I am your father, and if I don't tell you these, no one else will.
3. What is written is my own personal bitter experiences that perhaps
could save you a lot of unnecessary heartaches. Remember the
following as you go
through life
1. Do not bear grudge towards those who are not good to you. No one
has the responsibility of treating you well, except your mother and I.
To those who
are good to you, you have to treasure it and be thankful, and ALSO you
have to be cautious, because, everyone has a motive for every move.
When a person
is good to you, it does not mean he really likes you. You have to be
careful, don't hastily regard him as a real friend.
2. No one is indispensable, nothing in the world that you must
possess. Once you understand this idea, it would be easier for you to
go through life
when people around you don't want you anymore, or when you lose
what/who you love most.
3. Life is short. When you waste your life today, tomorrow you would
find that life is leaving you. The earlier you treasure your life, the
better you
enjoy life.
4. Love is but a transient feeling, and this feeling would fade with
time and with one's mood. If your so called loved one leaves you, be
patient, time
will wash away your aches and sadness. Don't over exaggerate the
beauty and sweetness of love, and don't over exaggerate the sadness of
falling out of
love.
5. A lot of successful people did not receive a good education, that
does not mean that you can be successful by not studying hard!
Whatever knowledge
you gain is your weapon in life. One can go from rags to riches, but
one has to start from some rags!
6. I do not expect you to financially support me when I am old, either
would I financially support your whole life. My responsibility as a
supporter ends
when you are grown up. After that, you decide whether you want to
travel in a public transport or in your limousine, whether rich or
poor.
7. You honour your words, but don't expect others to be so. You can be
good to people, but don't expect people to be good to you. If you
don't understand
this, you would end up with unnecessary troubles.
8. I have bought lotteries for umpteen years, but I never strike any
prize. That shows if you want to be rich, you have to work hard! There
is no free
lunch!
9. No matter how much time I have with you, let's treasure the time we
have together. We do not know if we would meet again in our next life.
Your Ever loving Dad.
