Friday English What I learned today.
A Mother's letter to the world
When my son starts in his great adventure that will probably include wars and tragedy and sorrow.
To live his life in the world he has to live in will require faith and love and courage.
Teach him the things he will have to know.
Teach him that for every scoundel there is a hero; that for every crooked politician there is a dedicated leader,that for every enemy there is a friend.Teach him the wonders of books.
Give him quiet time to ponder the eternal mystery of birds in the sky,bees in the sun,and flowers on the green hill.
Teach him it is far more honorable to fail than to cheat.
Teach him to have faith in his own ideas ,even if everyne else tells him they are wrong.
Teach him to sell his brawn and brains to the highest bidder ,but never to put a price on his heart and soul.
Teach him to close his ears to a howling mob and to stand and fight if he thinks he's right.
