Dear Sparsh,
So you are now one month old. You had your first outings in the sun. You had your first family picture with mum and
dad in the backyard of your lovely home. You also celebrated your first holi. You may not know, but even though I
am miles away from you, I do see your wonderful sweet pictures and videos every
day. Your smile, especially the one with eyes close, makes our day. You are
indeed the apple of our eye.
Today I will talk about a man. A man, who failed at business
in 1831, was defeated in run for legislature in 1832, failed again at business
in 1833. His fiancé died in 1835, had a nervous breakdown in 1836. He lost run
for congress in 1843, lost the same again in 1848. Lost senate race in 1855,
lost VP race in 1856, and lost senate bid in 1859. Finally he was elected 16th
President of USA in 1860, and he changed the course of American history.
This is the story of the great Abraham Lincoln. He had so
many failures in life, but he never gave up. He always kept trying; eventually
he got the greatest achievement anyone could think of. All the failures that he
had in life, only made him stronger and wiser.
Ups and downs are part of everyone’s life. Even you will
face challenges in life. You may not be the best in everything, you may fail
few times. Always remember, to never give up. Failures are just a stepping
stone to success. Failures will just make you stronger, smarter and wiser. You
will always have a very strong support system in the form of family and
friends. Whenever in life, if you face any problems, and are not able to solve
it, always ask help and opinion from mom and dad, don’t ever keep things inside
you.
Finally I would like to say, that as you are growing up, and
as I see your pictures every day, I see a sense of wisdom in your eyes. You
have great genes, it makes me happy, and I am sure you will do very well in
life, and not encounter many failures!
Your Lovingly,
Mamu.
