A LETTER FROM BROTHER

All the words I am telling you are coming from my heart. You have to find something which can make you stand on the ground on your own feet except affectional love. That is to say, you have to find the way you could live by yourself. This is already the time to consider about it. I never deem that the educational degree as a very crucial thing, but you even are not qualified to sell yourself to work for others if you have not this.

You have to organize your flying ideas into clear and simple characters and thoughts. Luxuriance and float can not stay long. You should understand that it is not enough to only enjoy the good feeling in reading, moreover, the content, idea, realm, spirit, soul and wisdom is more important. It is not recommended to read the works whose authors’ thought methods are similar with yours. No pettiness and do not make a fuss about an imaginary illness. Do not write anything you can finger out and do not stay for small sadness and tiny impression.

It will please me if you believe in warmness, fineness, trust, dignity and adamancy (strong) of these sorts of old words. I hate to see you decadent, vacant, confused, hurting others and trampling/befooling yourself. Do not treat yourself as a mess. Control your emotion and not everyone you could have. About experience life, it is the other thing, and it does not mean sinking-low (degenerating) and self-abandoned. Do not believe the cool on appearance and alternative style, which is the excuse for some idlers want to abandon. The real cool lives in the hearts. You should have a strong innermost being and you not be afflicted (grinded) and subdued with the time passing.

It is not enough for you to say that I love this world only when you are in fabulous and simple life of university.

It should be spoken out by you even though you know the world with darkness, dirty and ugly.

Well to love and live. Youth is so short, do not to mourn your age. You can stand by a while for rest somehow, but do not stay and look back for a long time. Do not regret after you do a choice.

Often ask yourself what you are doing.

You could cry out loudly when you feel sad and complaint. After that, wash your face and clap it gently, then squeeze a smile in front of mirror for yourself. Remember, do not press and knead them, otherwise, they would be turgescent the next day.

Plan a long-range future and big target for yourself. Always look up to the sky and simultaneously look down on the ground.

Whenever anyone asks you how many times you ever had amativeness, the answer always should be twice, the first time is he loves me, but I do not love him; the second time is I love him but he does not love me. The best one is the next.

Do not give the second chance to the man who ever hurted you. Do not believe the promise made in bed. Do not too emphasize the virgin, but you should keep unsophisticated and chaste. Do not feel shame at the desire, enjoy it, but do not bear the result and ignorance from men. Believe me, men is numerous in the world, even more than the numbers of frog with 3 legs. Do not speak out the word “love”. Trust in your intuition. Do not try to get a man (get rise out of the men) belonging to others except that, you love him very, very much and he is the man very, very worthy of your love. Do not be close to the man, who wants to find the similar woman as his anti-girl friend, his mother or his sister. Do not touch the wayward boys, literature youth and medium-age men. The too simple boy you also should keep distance with. Do not get along with the man without heart and lung. Do not look on the self-insult as the love or moved thing. The cigarette burning on his body indicates it would be on you the cigarette burn for next time. Look at the friends around him and know what kind of them and what the attitude they treat women is. By the way, do not trust a man, who has no plan to introduce you to the circle of his friends. Insist to asking him to call you your name when he always calls you baby. Do not turn to touch him when a man does not touch you on his own. Do not believe the men using tricks on love. Do not speak out evil words when you decide to separate with him. Take lessons but not regret. You know regret has no meaning.

Believe in love, and believe the good men existing on the world, and he is waiting for you keeping single. Do not say this kind of sentence like that no a good man in the world, which makes others think you are a woman experiences too much.

Promise me, that never to move from a boyfriends’ house to another’s at night.

You could love substance in some degree, but always remember that the spirit is most important, even more valuable than the famous-brand watch and fashion. The most beautiful thing in the world should be you.

Do not look down the laboring people and do not feel ashamed for labor. The soil is not dirty and the sweet has no bad smell. Respect the people who seem to live below your living standards. Only in this way you could respect yourself. Respect and understand the people living on the ground of the society because we are living among them and we are not noble and not valuable.

Do not ignore even 1 cent, you could try to earn it by yourself.

Do not hesitate to believe friendship after you are hurt by a friend but you should watch out for him who betrays you. Forgive it but not forget it. Saving some naïve childishness for yourself and leave some errantry emotion for your friends.

To be happy, optimistic, diligent and warm and they are no connection with character.

I am afraid of your low key attitude, and you should be a little stronger. When you are baited by others, you should ask it back. Do not bear grudges! Mercy could make you noble (noblest).

You should learn to forgive this world and yourself. Always tell you that you are worthy of all the best things.

Really impressive. But I think, somehow too hard. Sentences like "Do not give the second chance to the man who ever hurted you." sound right, but life is more complex than that. If you truly love someone, could you try to forgive him once? This is what we European people call Charity. Do anybody act without mistakes? I'd like to, but I don't think so.

About this opion,I also have some personal view.Fabio,you are right, nobody is completed and perfect without mistakes, and we have this merit of Charity,but,the point in this sentence is,the charactor and some habit of people is difficult to be changed. if someone hurt you,just remember it and do not let him hurt you in the same way again. life is complicated indeed.Usually, I do not know how to do when I meet the situation personally.
