Following is a letter to his son from a renowned Hong Kong TV broadcaster cum Child Psychologist. The words are actually applicable to all of us, young or old, children or parents.!
1. Life, fortune and mishaps are unpredictable, nobody knows how long he lives. Some words are better said early.
3. What is written is my own personal bitter experiences that perhaps could save you a lot of unnecessary heartaches.
1. Do not bear grudge towards those who are not good to you. No one has the responsibility of treating you well, except your mother and I.
To those who are good to you, you have to treasure it and be thankful, and ALSO you have to be cautious, because, everyone has a motive for every move.
When a person is good to you, it does not mean he really likes you. You have to be careful, don't hastily regard him as a real friend.
2. No one is indispensable, nothing in the world that you must possess. Once you understand this idea, it would be easier for you to go through life when people around you don't want you anymore, or when you lose what/who you love most.
3. Life is short. When you waste your life today, tomorrow you would find that life is leaving you. The earlier you treasure your life, the better you enjoy life.
If your so called loved one leaves you, be patient, time will wash away your aches and sadness. Don't over exaggerate the beauty and sweetness of love, and don't over exaggerate the sadness of falling out of love.
5. A lot of successful people did not receive a good education, that does not mean that you can be successful by not studying hard!
Whatever knowledge you gain is your weapon in life. One can go from rags to riches, but one has to start from some rags!
6. I do not expect you to financially support me when I am old, neither would I financially support your whole life.
After that, you decide whether you want to travel in a public transport or in your limousine, whether rich or poor.
You can be good to people, but don't expect people to be good to you. If you don't understand this, you would end up with unnecessary troubles.
9. No matter how much time I have with you, let's treasure the time we have together. We do not know if we would meet again in our next life .

"If it were the last day of your life, who would you spend it with, and why?" one of the judge posed the question to Contestant No. 4. Contestant No.4: … a few moments of thought and then came the answer: 'A Father has a prime role to play in the life of his daughter. He is the first male that a girl comes across and hence, becomes the role model of her life. She sees the reflection of men in the rest of the world, through her dad and often perceives that all men should be like her father. Right from her childhood to adolescence to adulthood, he plays an influential role in her life. He is the guide, the saviour, the protector, a friend and most importantly, the ultimate caretaker, who nourishes her in the loving and protective atmosphere set by him. I have seen my daddy assuming multi-faceted role, which keeps changing with the changing phases of my life. I would like to dedicate the last day of my life to my Father, and those 24 hours I would want to spend in his company.' What followed was a thundering applause. The Emcee was amazed with the answer and the applause that followed. 'Is your lucky father around.' asked the Emcee. 'Yes, he is very much there' Contestant No 4 replied, Emcee requested the lucky father to please stand up wherever he was. The proud father stood up and waved his hand. Thousands of eyes turned towards him, cameras and flashlights moved towards the proud father. And there was another round of great applause for him. He was touched. He was emotional. He folded his hands and thanked the crowd for the applause. There were tears in his eyes. He had received the greatest gift of his life from his daughter. This is a true story of love, affection and dedication of a Daughter towards her Dad demonstrated at MB Club, Lucknow. You may like to forward this to those who understand & value the emotional bond of a Daughter and a Dad. Regards, Manish Thakkar .
