A letter to Son

26 May, 2010

Dear Gene,



You cannot imagine how joyful these days are for Father and I. The joy is from our hearts. We really find you have been transformed to be more positive and resourceful towards daily issues after the IB exams and Chris Howard’s seminar - Breakthrough to Success. You started to grumbling less and be more interested in different issues, family problems or even other’s personal headaches and comes up with analytic views, positive solutions or helpful ideas. You are more caring of the family especially when Grandfather was in hospital despite you being engaged in the exams recently. What made us feel more gratified is you becoming more caring for your own health in details. Most importantly, you are more patient when listening to others.

On the planet, we all face the same or similar environments and events. But people with different value systems and beliefs will give different responses and produce different outcomes. “What sets successful leaders apart – is their mind sets, focus, strategies, behaviors, beliefs and values and many other internal factors that determine our experiences in life.” It is clear that it is not the events that control our destiny but our attitudes and personality.

Pressure, stress and problems tends more imaginary than reality itself. Don’t you discover that reality is usually much better than expected especially if we have put effort into it? Chris says that reality is subjective. I couldn’t agree more. So why can’t we be positive and optimistic in the first place towards any challenges in the future? In that way, the outcome should be better. That is why we need to learn how to be the master of our destiny - to be our own manager of our life; to be responsible for our own future.

Being willing to take responsibility and challenges, having ferocious curiosity to learn and a passion to share and to help, you will build up a better character for sure.

With a positive attitude, belief, commitment, discipline and strategies and dedication, you can create your life however you want it and manifest your deepest heart’s desires and make a life with meaning, shining to others.

Of course that is not easy, but it is people’s option to choose keeping dreaming, taking action or not. However, once your subconscious mind is on the ready position, action is just like pressing the button, motivation is on automatically.

In our view, it doesn’t matter what you want to do as long as you are happy in any environment. Some people are too sensitive to conditions to be happy but some are unconditional to be happy even in adversity. The two kinds of people make big difference in the outcomes – in their health, relationship, quality of life and even achievements.

By being forgiving, grateful and resourceful, you will find a peaceful mind when things are not going well and, you can manage to get through with confidence. Your experience and improvement is more important than the end result.



With love,


Mother and Father
