When I was small, my mum used to give the family something special for meals — she would make breakfast food for dinner.
I still remember one night my mum some bread in front of my dad, something very burnt. I waited to see if anybody noticed. To my surprise, my dad just took his , smiled at my mum and then turned to ask me how my day at school had been. I’ve what I told him that night. I do remember watching him put some butter on that bread. He as usual, every single bit.
After dinner, my mum said to my dad for burning the bread. And I never forget what he said, “I burnt bread, dear. It doesn’t matter at all. ”
, I went to kiss Dad good night.I asked him if he really liked his bread burnt. He held me in arms and , “Your mum worked very hard all day. She's really . And you see—a bit of burnt food never hurt anyone!”
Now I know life is not perfect. is perfect, either. As for me, I often forget birthdays or some other special days. But I’ve learned something over these years. What we really need is the understanding of each other, whether between a husband and wife, a parent and or just between two friends. This is the key to a happy .
So don’t get angry if the bread gets burnt. Remember, bread never hurt anyone. Be kind to those around you and a happier life will surely come closer to you.

Life can be . There will be people in your life who won’t be very nice. They’ll laugh at you because you are different, for no good reason. You will also face heartbreak (心碎) and might be by those you love. I hope you don’t have to face these too much, but such things happen.
Be open to life anyway. You’ll find cruelty in your through life, but don’t let that stop you from finding new things. Don’t retreat (退却) from life, and don’t yourself. Be open to new things, new experiences and new people. You will fail many times, but if you allow that to stop you from trying, you will miss many chances. Do remember that failure (失败) is a stepping stone to success.
You will meet many people who will try to do better than you, in school, in college and at work. They’ll try to have nicer cars, bigger houses, nicer clothes, and so on. To , life is a competition. However, I believe life is a journey. If you always try your best to others, you are wasting your life. Learn to enjoy your life danger and you will make it a journey of , of learning and of love.
Finally, know that I love you and always will. You are a really wonderful journey, and I will always be there for you.
Love
Dad
