A sincere gift! Unspoken fatherly love transformed into letters, expressing deep hopes for his beloved son.
Dear Son: There are many successful people in the world, all of whom set lofty goals in primary school and developed good habits. About these matters, there is much I want to tell you, but some things are too personal to say face-to-face for fear of sounding like nagging. So, I have compiled my thoughts into letters and placed them on your desk. When you have time, please read them, and don’t forget to write back to me! Love, Dad
In the 17th century, the British Lord Philip Chesterfield wrote a collection of letters to his son, teaching him the qualities and virtues a person of integrity and nobility should possess. With the guidance and help of this book, his son also grew to become an outstanding diplomat. Therefore, for a long time, this book has been widely favored and hailed as the "textbook for gentlemen."
Today, Mr. Gil Ju and Mr. Jang Geong-gyun of Korea have adapted this ancient collection of letters, incorporating the characteristics of modern children's education. In this book, the authors provide targeted guidance to primary school children from various aspects—such as studying diligently, playing actively, cultivating interests, maintaining mental health, and handling interpersonal relationships—with words as gentle as spring rain. They aim to help children develop good habits from a young age, laying a solid foundation for a outstanding life.
The author believes that all successful individuals set lofty goals and develop good habits from a young age. Therefore, he hopes to help his son cultivate good habits through this book. The book discusses topics such as making friends with outstanding individuals, learning to use money wisely, balancing study and play, and more. It teaches children how to develop noble character, handle various challenges during their growth, and allocate time effectively while growing up happily in learning and play.
The author’s writing is fluent and heartfelt, filled with the warmth of a father’s guidance. It not only touches the hearts of children but also brings great benefits to their lives. This book is written by the British Chesterfield and adapted by the Korean Son Yong-jun.
