看了這個後, 我寫了一篇英文的,
給我的認我及不認我的兒女:
My Child,
For three reasons, I am writing this memo to you:
1. Life is full of surprises. Who knows how long one can live . Some words are
better spoken out early than late.
2. As you father, if I don't say it, who else would ?
3. This memo is based on my experience, learned by the hard way through failures. I simply hope that you don't repeat my path.
Here they are, which I hope you would remember for the rest of your life.
1. Never mind too much those who do not treat you well. Except me and your mum, no one else
has the obligation to be nice to you. As for those who treat you well, be grateful and treasure
them well. Be cautious though, that there are someone else out there, being nice to you for
a wicked reason. So, don't treat him or her as a real friend too soon.
2. No one is irreplaceable, nor is there anything which you need for your whole life. Remembering
this point would help you overcome difficult times when you lost your treasure or
someone you love.
3. Work-hard-play-hard is a good philosophy. It takes, however, some good skill to strike
a balance between the two.
4. Love is a feeling which might change with time, environment, or age. If you find someone
who loves you for the rest of your life, congratulations. More often than not, your love would
leave you, one reason or another, actively or passively. If that happens, be patient, let the
medicine of time heal you. Your pain would fade as your soul precipitates. Love is beautiful,
but don't have too high an expectation, nor over-exaggerate the pain of breaking up.
5. It is true that many successful people have not had fully-programmed education, but it does
not mean you could succeed without working hard at school. Knowledge is your best weapon.
You can't fight any war without a good weapon in this business world.
6. Money is important, but not necessarily the top priority item on your list of Values of Life.
7. Keep your promise, but don't expect others keep theirs. You could do others a favour,
but don't expect others return theirs. You would be very unhappy if you don't see this point.
8. No one wins all the time. There are moments of life that are bound by failures. If you fall, stand
up again, brush away the dust, start walking again and be more careful next time.
9. You could have lots of friends to play with. You could have lots of work to do that you hardly
find the time. But remember your one and only one father is missing you. From time to
time, write him an email, at least leave a note on MSN, Gmail, or Facebook just to say "HI".
With Love from
Daddy. |
