Here is a letter that i found it very meaningful easpecially for girls..
It is a letter from a mother to her daughter, Irene....enjoy!!!
- ' Irene, u always ask me, " Do u think i'm beautiful,Mum?" and i always reply, "u are the most beautiful girl in the world" and u would answer, "You only say tat because you r my mum." Yes,I'm ur mother and i know u better than anybody else does. Your long black hair, small almoond-shaped eyes, slightly oval face and your nose, are all very lovely to me coz tat was the creation of God to u.. Remember Roald Dahl's 'The Twits'? Mrs Twits had quite a nice face when she was young. But over the years, she became ugly because she had ugly thoughts. "you can have a large nose and a crooked mouth and a double-chin, but if u have good thoughts they will shine through u and u will always look lovely." say Roald Dahl. Some people call this inner beauty. Inner beauty makes other people feel beautiful. Saying thanks to the bus driver makes his driving a more pleasant task. Giving up a seat for a pregnant mother makes her feel appreciated. Little deeds of kindness can only come from one who is at peace with herself. However, being well-dressed and well-groomed are important too. That is how others judge you. It is the picture you show to the world, and although it is superficial, people judge you by you appearance. Moreover, looking good also helps to boost your self-confidence. But, looks alone will not decide your happiness. Women whose self-esteem depends on staying young and beautiful would feel terrible as they grow old. It is the peace in your heart tat will give you the strength and confidence to go through difficult times'
