Abraham Lincoln letter to his Son’s Teacher

Abraham Lincoln letter to his 
Son’s Teacher 

He will; have to learn, I know,
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.

Steer him away from envy,
If you can
Teach him the secret of
Quite laughter.

Let him learn early that
The bullies are easiest to lick
Teach him, If you can,
The wonder of books…
But also give him quite time
To ponder the eternal mystery of birds of sky
Bees in the sun,
And the flowers on a green hillside.

In the school teach him It is for honorable to fail
Than to cheat
Teach him to have faith
In his own ideas,
Even if everyone tell him
They are wrong
Teach him to be gentle
With gentle people
And tough with tough.

 Try to give my son
The strength not to follow the crowd
When everyone is getting on the bandwagon
Teach him to listen to all men
But teach him also to filter
All he hears on a screen of truth
And take only the good
That comes through

Teach him if you can
How to laugh when he is sad
Teach him there is no shame in tears
Teach him to scoff at 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 price tag
On his heart and soul.

Teach him to close his tears
To a howling mob
And to stand and fight
If he think he’s right
Treat him gently
 But do not cuddle him
Because only the test
Of fires makes fine steel.

Let him have the courage
To be impatient
Let him have the patient to be brave
Teach him always To have sublime faith in himself
 Because then he will have
Sublime faith in mankind

This is big order
But see what you can do
He is such a fine fellow
My son! 

Thanks You !



Truths of Life 

1. Don't let someone become a priority in your life, when you are just an option in their life. 
Relationships work best when they are balanced.

2. Never explain yourself to anyone. Because the person who likes you doesn't need it, and the person who dislikes you won't believe it.

3. When you keep saying you are busy, then you are never free. when you keep saying you have no time, then you will never have time. when you keep saying that you will do it tomorrow, then your tomorrow will never come. 

4.
When we wake up in the morning, we have two simple choices. Go back to sleep and dream, or wake up and chase those dreams. Choice is yours. 

5.
We make them cry who care for us. We cry for those who never care for us. And we care for those who will never cry for us.This is the truth of life, it's strange but true. Once you realize this, it's never too late to change. 

6. 
Don't make promise when you are in joy. Don't reply when you are sad. Don't take decision when you are angry. Think twice, act twice. 

7. 
Time is like river. You can't touch the same water twice, because the flow that has passed will never pass again. Enjoy every moment of life.
