When you find you are behind, you need to find out why

When you find you are behind, you need to find out why. When I did not as good as others, your 大爷爷 (great uncle) asked: why ? 

He also asked: do you have less arms or less legs compared to others ? You guys should ask yourself the same questions.

To the best of my knowledge, I have a slightly above average number of both. Thanks, Dad.

A ship sailing in Sea uses light towers as reference to know its progress

Hi Kids,
 
A ship sailing in Sea uses light towers as reference to know its progress for its journey. Its reference are quasi-static objects. 
 
People to know their progress in their life needs to compare to their friends, classmates, siblings, and somebody having similar situation or similar staring condition. These references are moving references. For example, you may compare your career progress with your high school classmates. Otherwise, you may not know that you are really behind. 
 
Check out yourself against your friends who are doing well to see how you should catch up in a practical manner.
 
Love

Dad

You need to have a high pay job

Hi Guys,

The following link is very good to let you get an idea for your career choice.

You have to be practical to choose you career and wisely invest your time to it.

If you choose a bad job as below, you can only eat bare bread every meal. That is not wise and practical.

You have good talent. You deserve a good life. You need to have a high pay job. You have a duty to help others, not just barely support yourself or unable to support yourself. 

The key here is that you need to be practical and compromise to get the maximum.

You need think through this to become practically effective competitor for a better life.

Love you
Dad

Follow the traffic rule, you can enjoy the driving freedom

For a trouble free life, you must obey the government law. Otherwise, you could lose freedom.

For a worry free life, you must follow the natural laws. Otherwise, you could get into endless worrisome.

Follow the traffic rule, you can enjoy the driving freedom. Otherwise, you really cannot drive any effective mileage.

If you truly understand these, you will know how and what to do. The Boston bombing suspects apparently had wrong thoughts, that determined their wrong doing. Their thoughts controlled their doing. I smoked before, I did not know smoking is that bad. I now know it is very bad thing, so I totally stopped it. I even want my relatives to stop.

For example, you need proper rest, proper food, and balance of work and recreation. That is a law of nature. If you do not obey it, you can get damage to your health and you could get into endless unhappiness.

Hope you get the best in your life.

Love you

Dad

Never play petty tricks when you deals with people

Kids,

Always not deliberetly out for small advantages from others.

Never play petty tricks when you deals with people. Be clever in large matters/directions.

Be smart and work hard for a great thing and success with a legitimate/noble way.

Please work hard to follow the way above.

Dad

Have yourself a happy, clever yet trickless April Fool’s Day!
