My dearest firstborn, I can't express how proud I am with your progress over your growing up years. U have done exceptionally well in all endeavors including your academics, netball, Girls Brigade, Art and music. U amaze me with your tenacious drive and sheer hard work. You always give your best and motivate yourself to reach higher level. With these values, I know u can go far.
But Mummy has also emphasized that life is not only about academics, and I'm proud that you had explored other equally crucial endeavors. My greatest worries is you take all these achievements as your self worth. Baby I hope one day u will read this with great conviction. Self worth doesn't come from exterior, trophies and certificates. But character brings you further.
Pls remember what Mr Lee Kuan Yew's grandson had shared.
He was emotional, tearing up as he said: "Ye Ye showed me that you could make a difference in this world. Not just that you could make a difference, but that you could do it with your head held high. You didn't have to lie, cheat, or steal. You didn't have to charm, flatter, or cajole. You didn't have to care about frivolous things or play silly games. You could do something good with your life, and the best way to do so was to have good principles and conduct yourself honourably."
So with all the papers certificates U had achieved , what truly matters is your steadfast character. Use what u have learnt, achieved and with a good character and winning attitude , you can make a positive difference in this world !!!
