Dear Susan,
You are only three years old, and at this point in your life you are not able to understand this letter. But some day when you grow up, I hope you will find something        in what I am going to share with you.
Life can be       . There will be people in your life who won’t be very nice. They’ll laugh at you because you are different,        for no good reason. You will also face heartbreak (心碎) and might be       by those you love. I hope you don’t have to face these too much, but such things happen.
Be open to life anyway. You’ll find cruelty in your      through life, but don’t let that stop you from finding new things. Don’t retreat (退却) from life, and don’t         yourself. Be open to new things, new experiences and new people. You will fail many times, but if you allow that to stop you from trying, you will miss many chances. Do remember that failure (失败) is a stepping stone to success.
You will meet many people who will try to do better than you, in school, in college and at work. They’ll try to have nicer cars, bigger houses, nicer clothes, and so on. To       , life is a competition. However, I believe life is a journey. If you always try your best to        others, you are wasting your life. Learn to enjoy your life danger and you will make it a journey of      , of learning and of love.
Finally, know that I love you and always will. You are        a really wonderful journey, and I will always be there for you.
Love
Dad

One day, many years ago, when I was working as a psychologist in England, I brought David into my office. His face was pale and he looked at his own feet.
David lost his father when he was two years old and lived with his mother and grandfather ever since. But when he was 13, his grandfather died and his mother was killed in a car accident. His teacher told me that he refused to talk to others from then on.
David didn’t say a word. As he was leaving, I put my hand on his shoulder. “Come back next week if you like.” I said.
He came and I suggested we play a game of chess. He agreed. After that we played chess every Wednesday afternoon — in complete silence. Usually, he arrived earlier than we agreed. It seemed that he liked to be with me.

Maybe I gave David something. But I learned more from him. I learned that time makes it possible to get over what seems to be painful. David showed me how to help people like him.

When my first wartime Christmas came, I was in basic training in New Jersey and not sure if I could make it home for the holidays. Only on the afternoon of December 23 was the list of men who would have three-day passes (通行证) posted. I was one of the lucky soldiers.
It was Christmas Eve when I arrived, and a light snow had fallen. Mother opened the front door. I could see beyond her, into the corner of the living room where the tree had always stood. There were lights, all colors, and ornaments (装饰物) shining against the green of a pine.
“Where did it come from?” I asked.
“I asked the Gates boy to cut it,” my mother said. “I wouldn’t have had one just for myself, but when you called--- oh, such a rush! He just brought it in this afternoon…”
The pine reached to the proper height, almost to the ceiling, and the Tree Top Krystal Star was in its place. A few green branches reached about a little awkwardly (难看地) at the side, I thought, and there was a bit of bare trunk showing in the middle. But the tree filled the room with warm light and the whole house with pleasant smell of Christmas.
“It’s not like the ones you used to find,” my mother went on. “Yours were always in good shape. I suppose the Gates boy didn’t know where to look. But I couldn’t be picky.”
“Don’t worry, ” I told her. “It’s perfect.”
It wasn’t, of course, but at the moment I realized something for the first time: all Christmas trees are perfect.
