Answers
Answer:This may help you
Explanation:
He will have to learn, I know, that all men are not just, all men are not true, but teach him also that for every scoundrel there is a hero; that for every selfish politician, there is a dedicated leader… Teach him that for every enemy there is a friend.
President Lincoln wanted his son to have faith in people, that there are some good aspects of a bad person. In reality, there is every conscience that every people have, which made up the core of good parts in every person, good or bad. By giving examples of the opposition aspects of the society, he encouraged his son to look at life as a starry sky, where the dark sky represents ‘scoundrel,’ ‘selfish politician,…’ being shined by the stars, which were referred to as ‘hero’, ‘dedicated leader…’
It will take time, I know, but teach him, if you can, that a dollar earned is of far more value than five found…Teach him to learn to lose…and also to enjoy winning. Steer him away from envy, if you can, teach him the secret of quiet laughter. Let him learn early that the bullies are the easiest to lick…Teach him, if you can, the wonder of a book…but also give him quiet time to ponder the eternal mystery of birds in the sky, bees in the sun, and flowers on a green hillside.
To most people, losing is dishonorable, but President Lincoln see losing is something to learn. The covered meaning of this sentence is being lost is not a disgrace, but another step closer to the goal, if the goal is far, there are more lost encountered before reaching destiny.
