Dear Lucas,
I
know that I am very, very far from being a perfect man, but make no mistake in
that my love for you it is indeed perfect.
In this little and boring paper I just want to give you my most precious
5¢ in life. You only can live one day at
a time, but you can make a Masterpiece of every one of them.
I
learned a few good things on how to live my life by following the best I could
a simple A,B,C list. I failed many times
and very often, but I don't give up. Ever. I hope you like it. Here are the lyrics; you put the music to
them.
Avoid negative sources, people, places and habits
Believe in yourself
Consider things from every angle
Don’t give up and don’t give in
Everything you’re looking for lies behind the mask you wear
Family and friends are hidden treasures, seek them and enjoy
their riches
Give more than you planned to
Hang onto your dreams
If opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door
Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it
Keep trying no matter how hard it seems
Love yourself
Make it happen
Never lie, steal or cheat
Open your arms to change, but don’t let go of your values
Practice makes perfect
Quality not quantity in anything you do
Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer
Stop procrastinating
Take control of your own destiny
Understand yourself in order to better understand others
Visualize it
When you lose, don’t lose the lesson
Xcellence in all your efforts
You are unique, nothing can replace you
Zero in on your target and go for it
The failures in life (and
there will be many of them!) are nothing but stepping stones to success, and
footsteps to happiness.
Your old, imperfect man.
