Letter To Poor Dad

Hallo my friend Pardon my intrusion into your domain But you see, I am a student in the University of Life Whereby I am pursuing a Doctorate Degree in the Science of Successful Living As I was submitting my thesis of research into your life It occurred to me that I might as well write to you directly To save my notes from gathering dust on a professor’s shelf Poor Dad The notion that you are poor is a fact I cannot deny So I will not try to convince you otherwise This is actually in concern of your son You and I know that he is a good innocent child And I know better than you that he is at a pivotal stage in life As of now you possess so much influence over the direction his life will take For in as much as you may not be proud of yourself in front of your peers ...who overcame similar past to make something better of their lives ...your son is very proud of you He looks up to you with wondrous trust And it only befits that you should be his hero But being a hero comes with something which you are known to fear – RESPONSIBILITY Well, I am not going to advise you to be responsible For I know you live in denial mode, so you’ll look for the easiest way out I will instead ask you to be a truthful teacher Be brave and accept your mistakes Then teach your son of the painful lessons you have learnt from your failures Teach him not to limit his thinking to the unfortunate reality you have cast him into But to dare to believe in himself ...and to listen to his heartbeat and follow its guide Tell him that poverty is in fact a blessing That from it he can create vivid reference of what life will be ...if he doesn’t diligently work in pursuit of his greatest dreams Teach him to use his limitations as the source of motivation And then tell him you believe in him ...and that he can be whatever he chooses to be As long as he tries his honest best to be it Tell him you support him fully, especially emotionally The reason I am asking you to teach him Is because the secret is that of what one is keen to teach ...he is guaranteed to learn even more than he knew before In you teaching your son honest lessons from your heart and past You will retrace your steps to where you got lost yourself You will be possessed by renewed desire for success Of your selfless and candid teachings to your son ...will emanate insurmountable delights Dear poor dad, It’s time to be a real dad And you son holds that key... earn it and use it
