He will have to learn I know that all men are not just all men are not true, but teach him also that for every scoundrel there is a hero. That for every selfish politician there is a dedicated leader. Teach him for every enemy there is a friend. It will take time I know but teach him also that each dollar earned is more valuable than five dollars earned.

Teach him to learn to loose and also enjoy wining. Steer him away from envy if u can. Teach him the secret of quiet laughter. Let him learn early that bullies are easiest to lick. Teach him if u can the wonder of books but also give him quiet time to understand everything in life. To ponder the eternal mystery of birds in sky, bees in the sun, and flowers in the green hillside. In school teach him it is far better to fail than to cheat.

Teach him to have faith in his own ideas. Teach him to become gentle with the gentle and tough with the tough. Try to teach my son not to follow the crowd when everyone is getting on the band wagon. Teach him to listen to all men but teach him also to filter all he hears on a screen of truth and take in only the truth that comes in through. Teach him also to laugh when he is sad. Teach him there is no shame in tears. Teach him to scoff and cynics and to beware of too much sweetness.

Teach him to sell his brawn and brain to the highest bidders, but never to put a tag on his heart and soul. Teach him to close his eyes on the howling mob and to stand and fight if he thinks he is right. Treat him gently but don’t cuddle him, because only the best of fire makes fine steel. Let him have the courage to be impatient. Let him have the patience to be brave. Teach him always to have subline faith in himself because then always he will have subline faith in mankind.

This is a big order but see what you can do. He is such a fine little fellow MY DEAR SON.
I LOVE HIM VERY MUCH.
