Dear Seth,
Dear Seth,

[1] You are only 3 years old now, you are not literate at the moment, let alone let you understand what I want to say to you in this letter. But I have been pondering for a long time, about the life you are about to face and my life, I reflect on what I have learned; think about a father's duties and try to prepare you for the difficulties you will face in the years to come.
[1] You're only three years old, and at this point in your life you can't read, much less understand what I'm going to try to tell you in this letter. But I've been thinking a lot about The life that you have ahead of you, about my life so far as I reflect on what I've learned, and about my role as a dad in trying to prepare you for the trials that you will face in the coming years.

[2] You can't understand the meaning of this letter today, but one day, the time is ripe, I hope that you can find some wisdom and value in the content I share with you.
[2] You won't be able to understand this letter today, but someday, when you're ready, I hope you will find some wisdom and value in what I share with you.

[3] You are young, and life has yet to take its toll on you, to throw disappointments and heartaches and loneliness and struggles and pain into your path. You have not after worn down yet by long hours of thankless work, by the slings And arrows of everyday life.

[4] So thank God. You are in a wonderful stage of life. There are still many wonderful stages that will come to you, but they are not at your fingertips. You have to pay the price and experience the risks.
[4] For this, be thankful. You are at a wonderful stage of life. You have many wonderful stages of life still to come, but they are not without their costs and perils.

[5] I hope that by sharing some of the best things I have learned, I can help you take your life. As for any suggestion, and use it as a condiment, because it suits me does not necessarily apply to you.
[5] I hope to help you along your path by sharing some of the best of what I've learned. As with any advice, take it with a grain of salt. What works for me might not work for you.

Life will be cruel
Life Can Be Cruel

[6] There must be people who are not friendly in your life. They laugh at you because you are different, and there is no better reason. They may bully you or hurt you.
[6] There will be people in your life who won't be very nice. They'll tease you because you're different, or for no good reason. They might try to bully you or hurt you.

[7] There is nothing you can do to learn this kind of person, and you must also learn to choose friends, choose those who are kind to you, those who really care about you, those who make you feel good about yourself. When you are looking for friends like this, you must stick to this friendship, cherish them, spend some time with them, treat them kindly and love them.
[7] There's not much you can do about these people except to learn to deal with them, and learn to choose friends who are kind to you, who actually care about you, who make you feel good about yourself.

[8] Sometimes you will encounter setbacks rather than success. Life is not always what you want. This is another thing you need to learn to deal with. But you have to hold on, not let these things get you into the bottom. Accept defeat and learn to persist and pursue your dreams without risk. Learn to turn negative into positive, and then you can do much better.

Learn to turn negatives into positives, and you'll do much better in life.

[9] You will also face the moment of heartbreak and the abandonment of those you love. I hope that you don't have to go through too many such incidents, but if it happens, once again, in addition to slowly healing the wounds in your heart and continuing your life, you have no choice. Let these pains become your stepping stone to a better life and learn to use them to make you stronger.

Life is not a competition
Life Isn't a Competition
