Teaching: Compiled in Jan 1, 1998:

Abraham Lincoln's letter to School Head Master at the time of admission of his son:

"…he will have to learn. I know all men are not just. All men are not true. But..

· Teach him also that for every scoundrel there is a hero, that for every selfish politician, there is dedicated Leader.

· Teach him that for every enemy, there is a friend and of course it will take time.

· Teach him that Dollar earned is of far more value, than five found.

· Teach him to learn to lose, and also enjoy winning.

· Teach him to be away from Envy.

· Teach him the secret of quiet laughter.

· Teach him the wonder of Books, and give him the time to ponder over the eternal mystery of birds in the sky, bees in the sun, fish under the water and green flowers on great hillsides.

· Teach him that it is far more honorable to fail than to cheat.

· Teach him to have faith in his own ideas.

· Teach him to be gentle, with gentle and tough with tough people.

· Teach him to develop the strength not follow the crowd when every one is getting in to the band party.

· Teach him to listen to all, but teach him also to filter all he hears on a screen of Truth and take only the Good the Good that comes through.
