"He will have to learn this, that not everyone is fair or honest. But teach me that for every scoundrel I meet, there will be a hero somewhere.

For every selfish politician, we will meet a dedicated leader.

Every enemy will have a friend somewhere.

And if possible, teach him to stay away from the nature of jealousy, jealousy.

Teach him the secret of the joy of silent victory. Teach your children that bully people are the most easily beaten.

Please help me to see the wonderful world of books. But let me also have time to quietly reflect on the eternal mystery of life: Like birds flying in the sky, bees fly in the sunshine and the flowers bloom in the green hill. .

At school, teach him how to accept slippage is more than fraud.

Please help him have faith in his own opinion, although everyone thinks that the idea is completely wrong.

Teach him how to treat the gentle and tough to the rough.

Please give her the strength to not run after the crowd when everyone just ran in the same direction.

Teach him to listen to everyone but to filter it through a mesh of truth and then just accept what is good.

And if possible, teach him how to smile when he is sad. Teach him that there is no shame in the tears. Teach her to ridicule cynics and be careful of the sweetness of the trap.

Teach him that he can sell muscle and mind to the highest bidder, but never allow anyone to buy his heart and soul.

Teach the child to turn around and ignore the crowd screaming and stand upright to protect what he thinks is right. Please treat him tenderly but do not stingy because only the challenge of fire can heal the tough steel.

Please let him know that he must always have absolute confidence in himself because then he will have absolute faith in humanity.

I think this is a big request, but please try my best. If that is so great for my son. "
