Dear Seth,

You’re only three years old, and at this point in your life you can’t read, much less understand what I’m going to try to tell you in this letter. But someday, when you’re ready, I hope you will find some wisdom and value in what I share with you.

Life can be cruel

    1.   They’ll tease you or try to hurt you because you’re different.

There’s not much you can do except learn to deal with them, and learn to choose friends who are kind to you and who make you feel good about yourself. When you find friends like this, treasure them, spend time with them and love them.

Be open to life anyway

Yes, you’ll find cruelty and suffering in your journey through life, but don’t let that close you to new things. Don’t retreat from life, don’t hide or wall yourself off. 2. 

Life isn’t a competition

You will meet many people who will try to do better than you, in school , in college, at work. To them, life is a competition.

But here’s the secret: life isn’t a competition.  3.   Learn to enjoy the journey and make it a journey of happiness, of constant learning, of continual improvement, of love.

4. 

If there’s a single word you should live your life by, it should be this: love. It might sound corny, I know, but trust me, there’s no better rule in life.

Love not only your loved ones, but your neighbors, your co-workers, strangers, your brothers and sisters in humanity. And most of all, love yourself and learn to love yourself for who you are.

    5.  You are starting out on an unknown, tiring, scary, but ultimately incredibly wonderful journey, and always remember I will be there for you when I can.

Love,

Your Dad

A. Be open to new things, new experiences, new people.

B. It's a journey.

C. Life is full of love

D. Last, think that you are a wonderful human being.

E. Finally, know that I love you and always will.

F. There will be people in your life who won't be very nice.

G. Love should be your rule

"No man is an island" is a well-known line from John Donne's Devotion, written more than three hundred years ago. Even now people still agree with him. Without other people, life became empty and sad.  1.

For some of us, though making friends is not difficult, we may not want to make the first move. It is also difficult at times to keep the friends we already have.

There are many books about friendship, but Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People, written in 1936, is the most famous.  2.  It was later put into 28 languages.

Here is the list of advice from his book:

 3.

Always greet with a smile. Begin with "excuse me" or "would you please", when you want to ask somebody. Remember to say "thank you" and try to be as helpful as you can.

Go out of your way to be nice.

 4.  Making some soup for a sick neighbour may seem like a little thing to you, but it will make your neighbour feel a lot better.

Remember names.

They say that the sweetest music to a person's ears is the sound of his or her own name.

 5.

Try to understand other people's ways and ideas and learn something from them.

Listen patiently.

When someone is talking to you, look at him or her, listen carefully and say something when necessary.

A. Be open-minded.

B. Be friendly and polite.

C. So we all need to have friends.

D. Save some time to help others. 

E. This "How to" book became a best seller.

F. Try to help your friends out of danger.

G. It's also important to keep close friends in our daily life.

                                  These simple ways can increase your popularity(受欢迎度) and win you more friends, so why not try them?

● FOCUSING ON OTHERS   This will reduce any shyness you may have. You’ll be more relaxed and therefore more natural and fun. And you will get more good---people will love the fact that you’re paying attention to them while you don’t have to worry about what people think of you.

● LOOKING PEOPLE IN THE EYE   Making eye contact is very important because it shows you’re interested in them. If you let your eyes wander(游移) or keep looking over their shoulder, people will feel slighted, and they’ll like you less they would otherwise.

● ASKING QUESTIONS   Doing this gives you two advantages. It shows other people that you are indeed paying attention and that you consider what they are telling you important. Being sure to follow up when you’ve shared a conversation with someone about something important in his/her life, be sure to ask about it later. This shows that you listen and you care.

● MAKING AN EFFORT TO SMILE   A smile means acceptance, and that makes people open up to you. Make a conscious(有意识的) effort(努力) one day to smile at the people you stay or work with and watch how well they respond to you.

● BEING RELIABLE   People appreciate those who help them, and they quickly begin to hate those who don’t.
