"A Letter to My Son, on Starting Out In Life" par Leo. Dear Seth, You’re only three years old, and at this point in your life you can’t read, much less understand what I’m going to try to tell you in this letter.

You won’t be able to understand this letter today, but someday, when you’re ready, I hope you will find some wisdom and value in what I share with you. You are young, and life has yet to take its toll on you, to throw disappointments and heartaches and loneliness and struggles and pain into your path.
You have not been worn down yet by long hours of thankless work, by the slings and arrows of everyday life. For this, be thankful. I hope to help you along your path by sharing some of the best of what I’ve learned. Life Can Be Cruel There will be people in your life who won’t be very nice. Love, Your Dad.
