Dear Ronny,
Years ago you came to me for help. You said, “Grandpa, how is it that you’ve so much in your life? You’re still full of energy, and I’m already tired of trying hard. What should I do?” Here is what I believe.
I think a lot of it has to do with how a person looks at things. I call it ‘keeping your eyes wide ’.
First, realize that life is filled with , but many are good ones. If you don’t keep watching for them, you’ll miss of the excitement. Welcome challenges(挑战). They’ll make you wiser, stronger, and more powerful than you were the day before. When you make a mistake, be thankful for the things they teach you.
It’s also important to decide what you want. Then keep your mind focused on it, and be prepared to receive it.
But be ready to end up in some new places too. As you grow up, you’ll be given bigger shoes to fill. So be ready for endings challenging beginnings. Sometimes we have to be brave enough to move from the to the unfamiliar.
Remember that your decisions will create your successes and failures(失败). So consider all the roads ahead, and decide which ones to follow. Then believe in yourself, get up, and get going.
Most important of all, never give up yourself. The person that ends up as a winner is the one who has the strong will to win. Give life everything you’ve got, and life will give its back to you.
Love always,
Grandpa
