A lot of Folks especially Men have difficulties in connecting and relating to their old Men,.for some reason i like so many of my colleagues/Friends have felt that Dad's are more lenient when it comes to their Daughter's and the opposite when it comes to their Son's.after reading the letter below i can understand why!!
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.!
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 is 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, 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 c 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
Regards
