A letter from a father to his junior high school son.

My son: ...

Time flies. Before you know it, you are 13 years old. Now that you are in junior high school, you are a little man.

I've always wanted to communicate with you by writing letters. I want to write a letter because it is easier to express and understand, and letters can be kept for a long time and have a longer timeliness. Maybe you don't understand now, or you don't understand, but when you watch it several times, you will gradually understand.

For your future, I don't know what industry you need in the future. I think in the future, you can be safe, healthy, kind to others, obey the law, have a stable job, stand on your own feet, take care of your family, and strive to create a better life for your family. Of course, it would be better if I can make some contributions to the country and society. This is my wish.

As for yourself, you probably don't know what you will do in the future. I remember when you were young, your parents always asked you whether you would go to Tsinghua or Peking University in the future, and you always said something. At that time, you were young and didn't know what Tsinghua Peking University meant. If I ask you now, you will think we are crazy! Now, in my opinion, it is a bit unrealistic and irrelevant. But this is what parents all over the world expect of their children. They always hope that their children can get ahead, honor their ancestors and have a bright future. This may be a "common problem" for parents all over the world! Of course, this vision is always good. I don't think any parents want their children to be idle, penniless, homeless and begging for a living in the future!

I always think that my children will be more successful and do better than me in family and career in the future. This society has been moving forward, so you should also move forward and try to surpass your parents. It won't get worse! Isn't this society getting more and more backward?

When you are still confused about your future, it is most important to study cultural knowledge hard, because no matter what you do in the future, it is not so easy to succeed without certain cultural knowledge and a good diploma. With good cultural knowledge and a better diploma, the choice of future work will naturally be wider, and it will be more helpful, easier and more handy for future work. There is a saying like this: "Now that you have suffered from study, you will suffer less from work and life in the future." .

My present job is a skilled worker. My duty is to work hard, earn money to support my family and take good care of my family. As for you, you are a student now, and your task is to study hard, make progress every day, learn cultural knowledge well, strive for better grades, and be admitted to a relatively better school in the future. Of course, we should also actively exercise and exercise more to make ourselves stronger. After all, without a good figure, it is absolutely impossible. A healthy body is the foundation of everything.

Your generation has really caught up with the era of rapid social change, which can really be described as rapid change. When I was a child, my living conditions were not good and it was not easy to study hard. As long as we are not at school and go home, there are all kinds of farm work and housework to do at home. School life is also extremely hard, so after I graduated from junior high school and was admitted to high school, I gave up the idea of continuing to go to school, not because your grandparents didn't want me to go to school, nor because it was so difficult to study, but because life was too bitter. I lived in junior high school for three years, sleeping in the school classroom, sleeping in the school dormitory Datong store, and sleeping in the school playground in summer. I never ate meat in school for three years, not because I didn't like it, but because the conditions at home were so bad at that time that I didn't have any extra money to buy a piece of meat. Compared with our past, great changes have taken place in society now. You don't have to do farm work anymore, and you don't have so much housework to do. Your material life has also improved a lot. When I was a child at school, I often wore something new. I will wear it for a few more days before changing it, even on a hot day. The patched clothes were worn for a day or two and were quickly replaced. That kind of inferiority is funny now, but it was that kind of mood at that time. Now, you don't have to wear patched clothes to starve and freeze, so you should cherish the good times now and don't waste your beautiful youth in vain. Of course, for your children now, the starting point seems to be similar, depending on whether you work harder than others. I always feel that everyone is doing one thing at the same time. If you spend 65,438+00% more time than others, you can be better than 90% people. If you spend 20% more time, you can be better than 99% people. If you can spend 50% more time, you can become an expert in the same industry. The same is true of learning, and so is the truth.

Listen carefully to what the teacher says in class, ask more questions, think more and do more where you don't understand, take notes and practice more where you are prone to mistakes, study more when you encounter difficulties, and don't give up at the first sight. Doing anything and choosing to give up when you encounter difficulties will only make you accomplish nothing. When other students are playing, I will spend more time doing problems and remembering more English words, so that you can do better than most students. Don't spend too much time playing meaningless games and doing nothing. In fact, if you think about it carefully, you may think that you played those games very funny, but then you won't remember anything in your mind, just like we usually brush Tik Tok's little video. I thought it was funny, but then you didn't feel anything. You may not remember what you just saw. It can neither help you study nor make you healthier physically and mentally, it will only waste your time. Of course, it doesn't mean that you can't play and relax occasionally, but you must have self-control in everything, and you can't indulge in it and can't extricate yourself. When you spend other people's playing time on your study, you can learn more knowledge, which can be deeply imprinted in your mind and used for life. The same is true of some skills in life, just like you can skate and ride a bike now. As long as you learn it, it will accompany you all your life, and you will never forget it. You just need to practice from time to time. And fun will only make you more and more degenerate, demoralized and depressed.

Three years passed quickly. It should be said that it is less than three years from now. Three years later, you will face the first big exam in your life. The senior high school entrance examination will determine whether you can go to high school or key high school. If you can't get into high school, you can only go to a technical school, or there is no school. Then you will face the society in advance and become a worker on a production line or an apprentice in a certain industry, which is only the lowest job in society. And if you don't want to face these cheap bottom jobs too early, you must study hard, try to get into a good high school three years later, and then get into a good university later, so that you will be more selective in your future work, find a better job more easily, and have a bright and happy future.

In fact, all along, you have done very well, and your grades in primary school have been good for six years. You have always been the pride of your parents, but I hope you will continue to work hard and strive for a higher level of middle school. At the same time, dad will try to make our life better.

In fact, I still have a lot to say and write, but I'm afraid you'll disturb me, so I'll stop here.

For our beautiful tomorrow, let's cheer together and work together! ! !

Your father: ...
