As you gear up for your adventure into higher education, you’ll soon find yourself checking and rechecking your bags, ensuring everything is in order. Watching your excitement and eagerness fills my heart with a pride I never thought possible.
I understand that you might not want to hear yet another piece of advice from someone who has been sharing it throughout your life, but I feel compelled to share a lesson—one that I hope you’ve absorbed through my actions more than my words.
As you step into this vast world, eager to learn and explore, remember that not every lesson will be pleasant. That’s perfectly alright. I firmly believe in the inherent goodness and beauty of the world, yet there are indeed places, situations, and sometimes people that fall short of this ideal.
It’s crucial to never become so preoccupied that you forget to appreciate the beauty surrounding you. When you encounter those who haven’t been shown this beauty or who have lost it, don’t hesitate. Resist the urge to become hardened or indifferent. Instead, seek ways to share your joy with them.
When you meet new people, take a moment to look them in the eye. Avoid forming judgments based solely on appearances. True character is revealed over time and should be assessed by actions rather than looks or words.
I hope your experiences are filled with kindness and compassion. However, should you encounter negativity, don’t shy away. Ignoring the darker aspects of life breeds apathy.
I’ve done my best to instill in you the strength to know yourself and to stand firm in your values. As you venture beyond the comforts of home, you’ll meet individuals who lack the fortitude to stand strong for themselves. Life’s circumstances may have drained them of their resilience. In these moments, don’t waver. These individuals often need your strength the most. Stay true to your principles, even if it means standing alone. This path may not always be the easiest or most popular, but it should be the only one worth taking.
I sincerely hope you never confront true evil. I’m not referring to fictional monsters, but to the real emotional and physical pain humans can inflict upon one another. If you find yourself in such dark moments, don’t hesitate.
Turning away from the dimmer corners of life is where true despair begins. This darkness doesn’t descend all at once but creeps in gradually until what was once unimaginable becomes acceptable. Even when your world appears bright, evil should never be tolerated.
You’ve grown up surrounded by a loving family and friends, aware that the well-being of one affects the whole. But remember, this circle extends beyond your immediate connections—every person is part of that larger circle. When tragedy touches one, it sends ripples through us all. Ideally, there should be no “us” versus “them,” only “we.”
It’s essential to recognize that life is not solely burdensome; we also share in joy and happiness. I hope you never turn away from those beautiful moments either.
I won’t pretend it’s easy; sometimes it feels overwhelming. The challenge lies in opening your heart and mind without losing yourself. Yes, it can hurt, especially when you want to help but feel powerless.
My only advice is to strive to contribute more positivity to the world than you take from it. I believe, just as surely as the sun will rise, those good deeds will create ripples that touch other lives too.
Understand that success won’t always come your way, but neither will failure. Each of us defines our own goals and the methods to achieve them, so don’t be burdened by someone else’s expectations.
Lastly, remember that life is meant to be lived fully. Whenever you see the chance for love, laughter, and happiness, seize it tightly, and don’t ever hesitate.
