MichaelLeung, a famous TV host in Hong Kong, wrote a letter to his son. It's not only hto children, but also good for all ages. The following are chosen f his letter.

Life is short. While you're wasting it today, you'll r you are at the end of it tomorrow. So the earlier you start to value your life, the earlier you can e it. You might not be successful iyou don't study hard, although a lot of successful people haven't

r higher education. I don't expect you to support me for the rest of m life,so I'm not going to do the same for you. You will be living on your own when you grow up. You can require yourself to be nice to others, b  you shouldn't expect the same from others. I've been buying the lottery(彩票) for almost 20 y, but I'm still poor. I have never even got third place. So you have to work hard to besuccessful. There's no f lunch in the world.
