Letter to a friend

Listen, my little friend,
I want to tell you, a few things about life. Things that I have learned in my long course, in it. Some, they say, experience. It is the reading, the study of the mistakes of my own and others.
To succeed in life, you must follow a basic rule.
Do to others what you want them to do for you, and do not do to them what you do not want them to do to you. It's not easy. Man has many virtues, but he also has many disadvantages.
You will meet in your life, ungrateful, unjust, advantageous people. Do not stand on them. Not even in their actions. Most are good. They deserve your love and help.
It is in human nature to want to be distinguished, to stand out. Try to stand out for positive things. Do not look around you, those who, trying to stand out, hurt their bodies, make strange hairstyles and clothes. They can not be distinguished otherwise. You, try to stand out with your education, with your contribution to society. Do not be upset if they do not recognize you. You will be special and you will know it.
Have something else in mind. Material things exist to improve human life. If you do not understand this, and dedicate your life to acquiring more and more material goods, you will become living for them. You will waste your life trying to get money, houses, cars, and you will stop living for yourself, you will live for them.
Never wrong, man, for the acquisition of such "goods". Get what you need, with your job and your skills, and enjoy using them. That way you will be happy.
"HAPPINESS IS, THE EMOTION THAT YOU FEEL, WHEN YOU GIVE, AND YOU SEE IN OTHER OWN EYES THE JOY." This is mine, buddy.
Try it.
Look to make friends, true friends. It is, of course, very difficult. If you search, however, you will find. Not many, of course, but you will find.
Try to keep your eyes and mind open. "LOVE PEOPLE, BUT DON'T TRUST THEM". And this, my friend ... To see what is not seen, and to listen, what is not heard.
To be "cunning", not to wrong someone, but to not let them wrong you.
Lasting happiness does not exist. There are many happy moments. At such times, try to have countless in your life. With the people you love, With them, that when you are with them, you can say what you think, without being afraid that they will interpret your words differently. Stay away from others.
Try to be meek and not make any decisions when you are angry, irritated. Let go of your anger and then decide.
When you are frustrated with people or situations, do not despair. In a day or two, you will see things differently. I speak to you "from experience". What seems like a "mountain" to you today, tomorrow, you may see as a small problem. Man's mood and emotions change. The way he sees things is changing.
I left for the end, your parents.
Never forget that they are the ones who brought you into the world. Those who were deprived of many joys of their own, so that you may rejoice. Those who made the purpose of their lives, you. If they made a mistake, skip it. There has never been an infallible man in the world. Again, what you see as a mistake may be your fault. Never forget that in addition to life, they gave you something more valuable, INFINITE LOVE. This is not a figure of speech, my love. I lived it, I saw it.
Now, you will tell me, why I wrote them to you in letter, and I did not tell you.
Why, my dear friend. You are still too young to have such a discussion.
Still, you did not start talking. I wrote to you because I am afraid that when you are old enough to have such a conversation, I will have left this world, which you have beautified so much, with your presence.
But, rest assured, that wherever I am, I will see you with love, and I will strive for your good.

With unlimited love
Your first friend
Your grandfather. ”
