A letter from a grand father at 83

Md. Siddiqur Rahman

 My  dear grand children and the youth, 

My  love and best wishes to you always, you know that I  love you from the core of my heart more than  anybody and  anything else. Because you are the future of us,  the future leaders of the country  but  you are still students  and immature on many perspectives of practical life.

Besides ,  you are easily vulnerable to many enemies of life. What are  those enemies of your time  :  addiction to mobile phone, laziness,  absentmindedness  ,   phostphoning  today's assignment for tomorrow,   wondering  aimlessly hither and thither  and  absence of target to be achieved.  Tendency to makig love  with the girls  or killing your valuable time gossiping away with the friends  and showing off your vanity to others or arrogance to superiors   despite  these  are all  treated  as bad manners by the guardians as well as welwishers.   Social values are of little importance to many of you. Addiction to smoking or any drugs are big enemies  too in student life.   Keeping yourself away from books and planning to copy books or notes in the exams hall. Have you ever thought of  so many  enemies you  are facing during the career building time  or focused on how to overcome them? 

In brief ,  two things can't occupy same place 

at the same time. If you try to board on the two boats at the same time , obviously you are going to make happen potential  accident.   When  you are supposed to build  your 

carrier , instead   ,  you are  obsessed with making love with  somebody in the hope  of  having a happy,  peaceful and prosperous life.  .  For sure,  you wii never be able to  achieve the  expected or desired goals  of life. 

I want  to let you know  only few students have been successful ,  the majoriy have totally failed losing  brilliant career , prosperity and happiness in life. 

Now it is upto you  what should be the subject  to be chosen : to take step into several  boats  or to be concentrated on one subject  / one boat  with ambition  to reach its  highest peak in order to face this challenging world ahead.   The world we lived a few months ago is gone for ever following the  war  between  The US -Israel  and Iran    ,  resulted  unrest in the Middle East  and all  other countries  as s whole ,  therefore we are entering  into a new world to face more challenges and  most difficult times in politics,  diplomatic  relations,  economy,   geopolitics , prosperity, peace and happiness  in  the years to come. 

Last but not the least,  let us prepare ourselves,  empower us with proper education, enrich us  with  latest technology   and other essential skills that have have no other alternatives  to  exist  in  this  newly    changed   world.
