Kids - What should a son be?
Ananta,
Like Douglas MacArthur did and every father in the world wishes their sons to be, your father also wishes that you will be strong enough to know when you are weak. And brave enough to face yourself when you are afraid.
He always hopes you will be proud and unbending when you are defeated honestly. And you will be humble and gentle in every victory.
He wants you to have a better future than he had done his, and wants you to run much faster than he has done. He also wants you to treat people nicer, more honest, more gentle, more educatedly, than he has done. Your words to others should be much more polite. And your compassion to them should be more real than papa has taught you by his examples.
Remember what his words often says to you:
"Besides that you can afford yourself without having to ask from others, if you have more money, the luckiest side is that you have a chance to help more people".
Papa says, "It's very sad to see someone suffering, but it's much sadder if at the same time we are unable to help him/her".
So be diligent to earn your life, not for wanting to merely enjoy wealth itself but to enjoy sharing it with those in need. That way you will feel the real meaning of contentment.
Keep this in your mind while you are living your life and continuing to go along your path.
