Abraham Lincoln's letter to his son's teacher
I know that i need to learn that not all people are right , not everyone is honest .
However teach that every criminal has a hero , for every selfish politician , there is a strict leader .
Teach that for every enemy there is a friend .
Try to keep away from envy if you reach and teach him the secret of a genuine smile .
Teach initially that the arrogant are the first to lose .
If you can, transmetojini miracle of reading the book , but leave enough time and marveling to eternal mystery of birds flying in the sky , bees in the sun and flowers on a hill .
Teach that the school is much more fair to err than to deceive .
Teach to this belief in his ideas even though all of them will say that they are wrong .
Teach them to be polite and courteous people and tough with the bad .
Try them teach my child the strength to not follow the crowd jump though all the winners ride .
Teach listen attentively to every man , but also listens shoshisë what sieve of truth and benefit already received .
Teach that can smile even when he is sad .
Teach that is not ashamed to cry .
Teach as cynics scoff and preserved by people excessive sweetness .
Teach him how to sell his goods to the highest bidder , but do not ever accept an award for the soul and heart .
Teach not heeding poisoned people and rise to fight if it is not right .
Treat with courtesy , but not because stroking through the fire test , the steel becomes better .
Let him have the courage to be impatient .
Let him have the patience to be brave .
Teach to have unwavering faith in himself , because only then will have faith in humanity .
I know you have many requests , but do the best you can.
Is such a good boy , my son !
