Answer:

he celebration of Children's Day can never be complete without remembering the contributions of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. The happy conjunction of this special day for children and the birth anniversary of their Chacha Nehru is not a coincidence. It's a way of remembering the great leader's fondness and love for children and his efforts towards bettering their lives.

So, on his 128th birth anniversary, let us revisit Pandit Nehru's famous words of advice that he had written to his daughter, Indira Gandhi, which can still be hailed for inspiring today's younger generation.  

On the importance of dialogue

''You know sweetheart, how I dislike sermonising and doling out good advice...I have always thought that the best way to find out what is right and what is not right, what should be done and what should not be done, is not by giving a sermon, but by talking and discussing, and out of discussion sometimes a little bit of truth comes out. I have liked my talks with you and we have discussed many things, but the world is wide and beyond our world lie other wonderful and mysterious worlds...none of us need ever be bored or imagine...that we have learned everything worth learning and become very wise.''

How to be fearless

''Never do anything in secret or anything that you would wish to hide. For the desire to hide anything means that you are afraid, and fear is a bad thing and unworthy of you. Be brave, and all the rest follows.''

''We are not afraid of what we do or what we say. We work in the sun and in the light. Even so in our private lives let us make friends with the sun and work in the light and do nothing secretly...and if you do so, my dear, you will grow up a child of the light, unafraid and serene and unruffled, whatever may happen.''

On the idea of race and colour

''We find that people's complexions are the result of the climate they live in. They have nothing to do with the worthiness or goodness or beauty of a person.''

Money cannot buy everything

''We must remember that money is no good by itself. It only helps us to get other things that we want. It helps us to exchange goods...Some foolish people imagine that money itself is a good and they collect and hoard it, instead of using it. This shows that they do not know how money came to be used and what it really is.''
