A Beautiful Letter from My Father

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 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 you for 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, whether 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 how 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.

THE OBEDIENT WIFE

There was a man, who had worked all his life, had saved all of his money, and was a real miser when it came to his money.

Just before he died, he said to his wife..’when I die, I want you to take all my money and put it in the casket with me.

I want to take my money to the afterlife with me.’

And so he got his wife to promise him, with all her heart, that when he died, she would put all of the money into the casket with him.

Well, he died.

He was stretched out in the casket, his wife was sitting there-dressed in black, and her  friend was sitting next to her. When they finished the ceremony, and just before the undertakers got ready to close the casket, the wife said,

Wait, just a moment.

She had a small metal box with her; she came over with the box  and put it in the casket. Then the undertakers locked the casket down and they rolled it away.

So her friend said, ‘girl, I know you were not foolish enough to put all that money in there with your husband.’

The loyal wife replied,  Listen I promised ! I cannot go back on my word. I promised him that I was going to put that money into the casket with him.’

You mean to tell me you put that money in the casket with him!?!?!?!?!’

‘I sure did,’ said the wife.

I got it all together, put it into my account, and wrote him a cheque…..

If he can cash it, then he can spend it.’

Send this to every clever women you know, and to every man who thinks they are smarter than women!!!!!!

I asked God why I wasn’t Rich :-He showed me a man with the wealth of a thousand Kings, who was lonely, and had no one to share it with.

I asked God why I wasn’t Rich :-He showed me a man with the wealth of a thousand Kings, who was lonely, and had no one to share it with.


I asked God why I wasn’t beautiful:- He showed me a woman more beautiful than any other, who was ugly because of her vanity.

I asked God why He’d allowed me to become old:-He showed me a girl of 10 who lay dead at the swimming pool.

I asked God why I didn’t have a bigger house:- He showed me a family of six, who had just been evicted from their tiny shack, and were forced, to live on the street.

I asked God why I wasn’t more popular:- He showed me a socialite with a thousand friends, who all left the moment the money and parties were no longer there.

I asked God why I wasn’t smarter:- He showed me a natural born genius serving life in prison for making ill use of his knowledge.

I’ve been through the storm, but look at me….! I’m still standing, I’m still here………If it doesn’t kill you….It will make you stronger.

Are your problems weighing heavy on your heart?

Give your burden to God and know, then, that you are loved.
