Do the right thing...

Dear son,

A difficult lesson to learn is to accept responsibility for your decisions. It's one of the hardest I've ever learned. It doesn't come easy, at least not to me, nor, I think, does it really come easy to anybody. You need to make your decisions intelligently, not rashly. Take your time and think beforehand. Then act decisively. Act honorably. And be prepared to live with your decision.

Love,
Dad
