Dear John,
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 learnt. As with any advice, take it with a grain 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 face something that you don't know in your life, but don't move back from life; don't hide or wall yourself off. Be open to new things, new experiences and new people.
Life isn't a competition
You will meet many people who won't fall behind you, in school, in college, and 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 and success.
Love should be your rule
If there's a 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 It might sound out of date, I know, but trust me, there's no better rule in life.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 your loved ones, and your classmates, your co-workers, and even those strangers. Love people who are hard on you, unkind to you, ...; just love them. They are 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 really wonderful journey, and always remember I will be there for you when I can.
Love
Your Dad

Who wants to eat food that is thrown away as waste? Believe it or not, that's exactly what world leaders did at a special lunch held by the United Nations in 2015.
During the meal, the world leaders enjoyed dishes like salads and burgers made with thrown-away vegetables and fruit. Chef Dan Barber, who helped create the meal, hoped that the experience would make the leaders pay more attention to the problem of food waste. It is a huge problem. One out of eleven people on the Earth does not get enough food. Yet every year about one fifth of the food produced worldwide goes to waste!
Why is so much food wasted? Firstly, food is often thrown away before it reaches customers because too much of it is produced, or because it is not kept properly on farms. Secondly, shops, supermarkets and restaurants usually throw away unsold food. Finally, customers often buy more food than they need, so a lot of uneaten food is wasted.
How can you waste less food? When eating out, you may ask for less food and take home what is left. Visit fast-food restaurants less often, since they are usually more wasteful. Encourage your favourite restaurants to give unsold food to food banks.
You can also waste less food at home. Use smaller rice bowls so that you serve less rice. Encourage family members to use unfinished rice to make rice puddings. Tell family members to make a shopping list and buy only what is on the list when shopping for food.
Food waste is a growing problem and we, either farmers or food sellers or customers, must take this problem more seriously and do what we can to help.
