Dear Granddaughter,
It has been a long I wrote my last mail. being busy will not justify e not writing to you, it's a matter of planning and discipline I need to be strict. I am very sorry that I skipped last week’s letter. I am by nature a dreamer and dreams when supplemented with action can transform oneself and you can influence the people around you. One needs only one trait to make a difference and become a visionary and leader. Emerson said: Hitch your wagon to the stars. I will share the story of Lily.
Once upon a time in a charming town in the heart of America, there lived a young dreamer named Lily. Lily was a 13-year-old girl with a heart full of curiosity and a mind brimming with endless possibilities. She loved to explore the world around her, from the forests behind her house to the stars that twinkled in the night sky.
One sunny afternoon, as Lily was wandering through a field of wildflowers, she stumbled upon an old, dusty book tucked beneath a tree. It was a book filled with stories of incredible people who had dared to dream big and achieve the impossible. As she turned the pages, her eyes lit up with wonder and excitement.
Lily was inspired by the tales of inventors who turned their wild ideas into life-changing inventions, explorers who ventured into the unknown, artists who painted the world with their imagination, and leaders who stood up for justice and equality. Each story ignited a spark within Lily's heart, igniting a fire of determination and ambition.
From that day on, Lily became known as "The Unstoppable Dreamer." She set out on a journey to chase her own dreams, no matter how big or small they seemed. She started by taking small steps, learning new skills, and embracing challenges as opportunities for growth. Whenever doubts or obstacles arose, she would remember the stories from the old book and draw strength from the knowledge that others had faced challenges too, yet they triumphed through perseverance.
Lily's passion for learning knew no bounds. She spent hours in the library, soaking up knowledge like a sponge. She tried her hand at painting, writing, coding, and even astronomy. Lily discovered that the world was her canvas, and she could paint it with her unique colors of creativity and determination.
As the years passed, Lily's hard work began to pay off. She invented useful gadgets, penned heartwarming stories, and even organized community events that brought people together. Along the way, she made new friends who shared her dreams and mentors who guided her with their wisdom.
But Lily's journey was not without its share of challenges. There were moments of doubt and setbacks, but she never gave up. With every setback, she grew stronger, more resilient, and more determined to make her mark on the world.
One day, as Lily stood on a hill overlooking her town, she realized how far she had come. She had transformed from a curious young girl into a confident, unstoppable dreamer who had the power to shape her destiny. She knew that the journey was just beginning and that her dreams were as vast as the open sky above her.
Lily's story is a reminder to us all that within each of us lies the potential to become unstoppable dreamers. No matter where we come from or where we are, we have the power to dream, to learn, and to create positive change in our lives and in the world around us.
And so, my dear granddaughter, always remember the tale of Lily, "The Unstoppable Dreamer." Let it inspire you to chase your dreams with passion, embrace challenges with courage, and never, ever stop believing in yourself. Your journey is your own, and you have the power to make it extraordinary. Lily can Mischelle Obama or it can be you!
Now I will share another classical story from The Tale of Aladdin and the Magic Lamp. In the bustling city of Agrabah, nestled on the edge of a desert, lived a young and kind-hearted boy named Aladdin. He was an orphan who roamed the streets, finding joy in the simple pleasures of life. Aladdin's life took an extraordinary turn when fate led him to a magical adventure.
One day, as he wandered through the crowded marketplace, Aladdin crossed paths with a mysterious old man who claimed to be his long-lost uncle. This man was no ordinary stranger; he was a sorcerer with nefarious intentions. Disguised as a benevolent relative, the sorcerer approached Aladdin with an enticing proposal.
"I have a task for you," said the sorcerer, his eyes gleaming. "In a hidden cave deep within the desert, there lies a wondrous magic lamp. Fetch it for me, and you shall be richly rewarded."
Intrigued by the promise of treasure, Aladdin agreed. The sorcerer handed him a magic ring, which, when rubbed, transported Aladdin to the mouth of the cave. With a sense of excitement and apprehension, Aladdin entered the cave, guided by the light of his torch.
Inside the cave, Aladdin found the lamp resting atop a pedestal. As he reached out to grab it, the ground beneath him began to rumble, and the entrance of the cave sealed shut. Aladdin was trapped! In despair, he rubbed the ring, hoping for a way out.
To his astonishment, a cloud of smoke emerged from the ring, coalescing into a mighty and majestic genie. The genie introduced himself as Genie of the Lamp and offered Aladdin three wishes.
Aladdin's first wish was to escape the cave, and in an instant, he found himself back in Agrabah. With newfound determination, Aladdin used his second wish to transform himself into a prince, hoping to win the heart of Princess Jasmine, the beautiful daughter of the Sultan.
As Prince Ali, Aladdin arrived at the palace, where he caught the eye of Princess Jasmine. They soon fell in love, but their happiness was short-lived. The sorcerer, furious at Aladdin's success, returned to Agrabah and plotted to steal the magic lamp for himself.
With the help of Genie's magic, Aladdin confronted the sorcerer and thwarted his plans. Aladdin also realized that true happiness could not be found through material wealth or royal titles. Instead, it was in being honest, true to oneself, and surrounded by those who loved and accepted you for who you are.
In the end, Aladdin used his final wish to free Genie from the lamp, allowing him to live a life of freedom and fulfilment. Aladdin and Jasmine continued to rule Agrabah with wisdom and compassion, living a life filled with love and adventure.
And so, my dear granddaughter, the story of Aladdin and the Magic Lamp teaches us that the greatest treasures in life are not found in riches or wishes, but in the bonds of friendship, the power of love, and the magic that lies within each of us. May you always remember the importance of staying true to yourself and valuing the people and experiences that bring you joy and fulfilment.
Love , Ajja
