I am writing this letter to tell you (5 years old me) something very important. I know that most of these words do not apply to you, but I am writing to you because you will value my words and through you many will know the words who would have cared little if I had said them directly. These are not advices, you can assume they are my own opinions which I have never imposed on anyone, but I always hope others will follow suit.

Dear Ripon

Danger never comes. Therefore, during any danger, do not despair, do not panic.If there is a fire somewhere, you will help and if you cannot help, at least do not disturb the work of the fire brigade by increasing the crowd. Rather than taking pictures of people in danger and getting likes on Facebook Help as much as you can. When someone messages you asking for blood, try to help. Don't be afraid to give blood. Remember that one's blood is another's life. If you can, you will stand by the side of people in danger. Even if you can't help, at least you will give him hope and courage. Do not give any advice to anyone which causes even the slightest harm to him.

Dear Ripon

When someone wants to tell you something, listen carefully. If he is busy, ask him to shorten the conversation by telling you that you are busy or don't have time to listen later. Don't avoid saying that. Maybe if he tells you the words, it will bring him a lot of peace and benefit. Be a good listener first, then be a speaker. If you don't know something about something, admit it frankly and find out. Refrain yourself from making up any words to cover your ignorance.

Dear Ripon

Criticizing others is very easy, everyone does it but no one criticizes himself and very few people can accept it when others criticize. Criticize yourself before you criticize others, find out your faults and get out of it. .If someone criticizes you, take them seriously and learn from them. It is better to accept than to criticize.

Dear Ripon

Thank people for a good deed, even if the good deed wasn't meant for you. If you see someone who eats ice cream and put the packet or stick in the designated garbage place, thank him too. Because he did a good job by not littering the place. Try not to litter. The environment will be clean if we throw the garbage in a specific place.

Dear Ripon

If you board a public bus and don't get a seat, you can sit in the women's seat, subject to availability. But whenever a woman, disabled or elderly person gets on, give them a seat. Women, children, elderly if you do not get a seat, let them sit as much as you can. You have the ability to stand, they may not. Standing a little way will certainly not harm you just as if you sit a little way it will do you no good.

Dear Ripon

Never do anything that is good for yourself but harmful for the country and society. Do not take away the food of others while gathering your own food. Uphold the rights of others and do not deprive anyone of his just due. If someone asks you for advice on a matter, if you think you have knowledge about it, then surely give advice and if you do not have knowledge, you Tell him politely about your ignorance. There is no shame in expressing ignorance but greater ignorance and shame in concealing ignorance.

Dear Ripon

Don't say anything that unfairly harms anyone. Don't say anything that creates arguments and fights. Will be tolerant in religious matters. The followers of the same doctrine in another place cannot be held guilty of organized injustice in one place. It is not ancestral property that all the sons of the father get an equal share. It is like knowledge that one son of the father acquires but the other son does not get the benefit of it.

I hope these things make your life more beautiful. Much love and best wishes to you.

I am no one else, but I am your inner you, your true friend
