Let's also talk about the reason for the name "Old Maps for My Daughter". It is really necessary to use old-fashioned self-proclaimed names such as "Wisdom of Life", "Motto of Life", and "Ten Rules of Practice" to show the precious value of these articles ( smile). This is contrary to what Dad told you to be humble and down-to-earth!

Maybe none of your generation has ever had such an experience, and you don't know whether this is happiness or unhappiness, unlike us, the post-80s or older generation, who must have brought a travel book or a map to their destination. Out-of-town travel experience. The maps and information at hand are often not the latest and most accurate. Unlike the current Internet world, book maps are not automatically updated, and it is not worth buying the latest version every year. (Yes, previous version updates are calculated in years, which is incredible!)

Therefore, we used to travel without blindly trusting all the routes and information at hand. On the contrary, we planned and acted with skepticism and an attitude of crossing the river by feeling the stones. Sometimes there is no way to plan the entire route, and you have to embark on a journey. At the same time, I know in my heart that this map is generally acceptable, but I can't fully believe it, because the scenery in front of me and the information on hand are time-difference, and everyone's path is different. will teach you.

The wonderful thing is that, despite not having the most perfect planning and the most sophisticated equipment, the road is still there, and there are many stumbles and stumbles, and before you know it, you take a wonderful journey again and again.

Dad just wants you two to read these letters with the above attitude. Remember the following points. First, when you read these words, Dad is outdated. This is your era, and my opinion may not be timely. Second, the road you two take is not necessarily the road of Dad. The road I have traveled alone and my knowledge is limited, and it may not be applicable to others. The most important thing is that when you look at these words, you will find that Dad has actually taken a lot of wrong paths, so whenever you face any difficulties, you must have confidence in yourself, don't be afraid, don't be afraid , take the first step bravely, do your best, and leave the rest to God, no big deal.

This is a famous saying that is always on my mind:

"Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step." Martin Luther King Jr.

You two should go forward with the attitude of youth and no regrets, and take great strides to find and walk your own way! My hometown will always open a small street light for you, and come back anytime when you are tired and bored. Parents will pat the dust on their bodies for the two sweethearts, unload their heavy armor, and prepare a gift for you. My favorite meal, cheer up and cheer up, so that you can stride forward towards the road of life.

love your dad forever
