oln was a known philosopher wrote the letter below to his son's teacher.
He will have to learn, I know that all men are not just, all men are not true, but teach him also that for every scoundrel, there is a hero, that for every selfish politician, there is educated leader.
Teach him that for every enemy there is friend; teach him that a dollar earned is of far more value than five dollars found. Steer him away from envy, if you can have time, ponder the eternal mystery of birds in the sky, bees in the sun and flowers on a green hill side .
In school, teach it is far more honorable to fail than to cheat. Teach him to have faith in his own ideas, even if everyone tells him they are wrong. Teach him to be gentle with gentle people, and tough with tough people. Try to give him strength not to follow the ground when everyone is getting on to band wagon. Teach him to listen to all men but to also filter all he learns on a screen or truth and take only the good that comes through.
Teach him how to laugh when he is sad. Teach him there is no shame in tears. Teach him to close his ears to howling mob and stand and fight if he is right. Teach him gently but do not cuddle him, because only the test of fire makes Steel. Let him always have sublime faith in his creator and himself too,because there he will always have faith in mankind. There is a big order, but please see what you can do.
