12．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．But someday，when you're ready，I hope you will find some wisdom and value in what I share with you．
Life can be cruel
（16）GThey'll tease you or try to hurt you because you're different．
There's not much you can do except learn to deal with them，and learn to choose friends who are kind to you and who make you feel good about yourself．When you find friends like this，treasure them，spend time with them and love them．
Be open to life anyway
Yes，you'll find cruelty and suffering in your journey through life，but don't let that close you to new things．Don't step backwards from life，don't hide yourself．（17）F
Life isn't a competition
You will meet many people who will try to do better than you，in school，in college，at work．To them，life is a competition．
But here's the secret：life isn't a competition．（18）A Learn to enjoy the journey and make it a journey of happiness，of constant learning，of continual improvement，of love．
（19）C
If there's a single word you should live your life by，it should be this：love．It might sound corny，I know，but trust me，there's no better rule in life．
Love not only your loved ones，but your neighbors，your co-workers，strangers，your brothers and sisters in humanity．And most of all，love yourself and learn to love yourself for who you are．
（20）DYou are starting out on an unknown，tiring，scary，but eventually wonderful journey，and always remember I will be there for you when I can．
Love，
Your Dad
