A letter to the young

　　Dear friends,

　　    I am called Time — your best friend. Although you can not see me, I am very proud of myself, because people often say “Time is money.” But I am also so mean that people always say “How time flies!” and “Time and

　　tide wait for no man.”

　　    Every person is the architect of his own future. Although you are faced with a great number of difficulties, you should be optimistic about your future. Because nothing is difficult if you put your heart into it. No one is ever born knowing everything. You just have to work hard.

　　    Don’t put what should be done today till tomorrow. Once you realize it, you will enjoy every chance. You know chance is the most important. As a matter of fact, opportunity seldom knocks twice.

　　    Time is more precious, so do not give up just because of failure. Keep on trying and success is just around the corner. As is known to us all, adversity makes a man wise not rich. Usually, pleasure is always coming after pain. Thus never do things by halves. Try fighting with difficulties and that will bring you success.

　　    The road to success lies under your feet. As Madame Curie said, “Life is not easy for any of us, we must work and we must believe in ourselves. We must believe that each one of us is able to do something well, and that, when we discover what the thing is, we must work hard at it until we succeed.”

　　    I wish you a lot of success in future; it’s my wish to see your dream come true.

　　                                                                                                Yours,

　　                                                                                                Time
