25. 阅读下面短文，完成表格。
Dear Seth,

You're only three years old, and at this point in your life you can't read, much less understand what I'll tell you in this letter. But I've thought a lot about the life that you have ahead of you, and about my role as a dad in trying to prepare you for the difficulties that you'll face.

I hope to help you along your path by sharing some of the best of what I've learned. As with any advice, take it with a grain（粒）of salt. What works for me might not work for you.

Life can be unkind

There will be people in your life who won't be very nice. They'll laugh at you or try to hurt you because you're different. There's not much you can do about these people except to learn to deal with them, and learn to choose friends who are kind to you and who make you feel good about yourself. When you find friends like this treasure them, spend time with them and love them.

Be open to life anyway

Yes, you'll find unkindness and pain（痛苦）in your journey through life, but don't let that close you to new things. Don't move back from life, don't hide or wall yourself off. Be open to new things, new experiences, new people.

Life isn't a competition

You will meet many people who will try to do better than you, in school, in college, at work. To them life is a competition. But here's the secret: life isn't a competition. It's a journey. Learn to enjoy the journey and make it a journey of happiness, of continual improvement, of love.

Love should be your rule

If there's a single word you should live your life by, it should be this: love. It might sound out of date I know, but trust me, there's no better rule in life. Love not only your loved ones, but your neighbors, your co-workers, strangers, even your enemy. The person who is hardest on you, unkind to you..., love him. He is most in need of your love. And most of all, love yourself and learn to love yourself for who you are.

Finally, know that I love you and always will. You are starting out on an unknown, tiring, scary, but badly wonderful journey, and always remember I will be there for you when I can.

Love,

Your Dad
