Ideas/Tips Dear Seth,You’re very young , and at this point in your life you can’t read. But I’ve thought a lot about the life that you have ahead of you, and I write it down to help you along your path by sharing some of the best of what I’ve learned.Life can be unkindThere will be people in your life who won't be very nice. They’ll laugh at you or try to hurt you because you’re different. There’s not much you can do about these people except to learn to deal with them, and learn to choose friends who are kind to you and who make you feel good about yourself. When you find friends like this, treasure them, spend time with them and love them.Life isn’t a competitionThere are many people better than you, in school, in college, at work. To them, life is a competition. But here’s the secret: life isn’t a competition. It's a journey. Learn to enjoy t he journey and make it a journey of happiness, of continual improvement, of love.Love should be your ruleIf there’s a word you should live your life by, it should be this: love. It might sound out of date, I know, but trust me, there’s no better rule in life. Love not only your loved ones, but your neighbors, your co-workers, strangers, even your enemy. The person who is hardest on you, unkind to you…, love him. He is most in need of your love. And most of all, love yourself and learn to love yourself for who you are.Finally, know that I love you and always will. You are starting out on an unknown, tiring, scary, but badly wonderful journey, and always remember I will be there for you when I can.Love,Your DadA father’s 59 to his child59. letter 60. ways/suggestions/solutions/advice 61. right/proper 62. meet 63. everyone。
