sincere advise
Rakkimuthu
Very appropriate advice, applicable to each one of us.
Letter written by a
father to his son....
Following is a letter to his son from a renowned Hong
Kong TV broadcaster
cum Child Psychologist.
The words are actually applicable to all of
us, young or old, children or
parents.! This applies to daughters
too.
Dear son
,
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, neither 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 Dad
