মাননীয় মহাশয়,
আমার পুত্রকে জ্ঞানার্জনের জন্য আপনার কাছে প্রেরণ করলাম. তাকে আদর্শ মানুষ হিসেবে গড়ে তুলবেন – এটাই আপনার কাছে আমার বিশেষ দাবি.
আমার পুত্রকে অবশ্যই শেখাবেন – সব মানুষই ন্যায়পরায়ণ নয়, সব মানুষই সত্যনিষ্ঠ নয়. তাকে এও শেখাবেন, প্রত্যেক বদমায়েশের মাঝেও একজন বীর থাকতে পারে, প্রত্যেক স্বার্থপর রাজনীতিকের মাঝেও একজন নি:স্বার্থ নেতা থাকে. তাকে শেখাবেন, পাচটি ডলার কুড়িয়ে পাওয়ার চেয়ে একটি উপার্জিত ডলার অধিক মূল্যবান. এও তাকে শেখাবেন, কিভাবে পরাজয়কে মেনে নিতে হয় এবং কিভাবে বিজয়োল্লাস উপভোগ করতে হয়. হিংসা থেকে দুরে থাকার শিক্ষাও তাকে দেবেন. যদি পারেন নিরব হাসির গোপন সৌন্দর্য তাকে শেখাবেন. সে যেন আগেভাগেই এ কথা বুঝতে শেখে – যারা পীড়নকারী তাদেরকেই সহজে কাবু করা যায়. বইয়ের মাঝে কি রহস্য লুকিয়ে আছে, তাও তাকে বুঝতে শেখাবেন.
আমার পুত্রকে শেখাবেন, বিদ্যালয়ে নকল করার চেয়ে অকৃতকার্য হওয়া অনেক বেশি সম্মানজনক. নিজের ওপর তার যেন সুমহান আস্থা থাকে. এমনকি সবাই যদি সেটাকে ভুলও মনে করে.
তাকে শেখাবেন, ভদ্রলোকের প্রতি ভদ্র আচরণ করতে, কঠোরদের প্রতি কঠোর হতে. আমার পুত্র যেন এ শক্তি পায় – হুজুগে মাতাল জনতার পদাঙ্ক অনুসরণ না করার. সে যেন সবার কথা শোনে এবং তা সত্যের পর্দায় ছেকে যেন ভালোটাই শুধু গ্রহণ করে – এ শিক্ষাও তাকে দেবেন.
সে যেন শিখে দু:খের মাঝে কিভাবে হাসতে হয়. আবার কান্নার মাঝে লজ্জা নেই এ কথা তাকে বুঝতে শেখাবেন. যারা নির্দয়, নির্মম তাদেরকে সে যেন ঘৃনা করতে শেখে আর অতিরিক্ত আরাম-আয়েশে থেকে সাবধান থাকে.
আমার পুত্রের প্রতি সদয় আচরণ করবেন কিন্তু সোহাগ করবেন না, কেননা আগুনে পুরেই ইস্পাত খাটি হয়. আমার সন্তানের যেন অধৈর্য হওয়ার সাহস না থাকে, থাকে যেন সাহসী হওয়ার ধৈর্য. তাকে এ শিক্ষাও দেবেন – নিজের প্রতি তার যেন সুমহান আস্থা থাকে আর তখনই তার সুমহান আস্থা থাকবে মানব জাতির প্রতি.
ইতি
আপনার বিশ্বস্ত
আব্রাহাম লিঙ্কন

Can you image an educated person not interested in computer in this age? We, people hardly want to accept the change, that is our shortcoming.

Even though we know our prophet (pbuh) never raised his hands for dua after offering Salah, we still raise our hands for dua after salah. We don't like Change and don't want to accept the change.

That is the reason i like young people who want to change the world, and i consider myself one such youth among them.

Great personalities are like the glow-worms, who enkindle us through their unprecedented performance. Lincoln's letter can be a good example of dead-reckoning of our soul. Her I can recollect the poem Shikkhagurur Morjada, written by Quazi Kader Newaz. In that poem, we are tought how a guardian should be.
"Many thanks to Allah who gave us life after having given us death and (our) final return (on the Day of Qiyaamah (Judgement)) is to Him"

Fact File of Abraham Lincoln:

Abraham Lincoln (February 12, 1809 – April 15, 1865) served as the 16th President of the United States from March 1861 until his assassination in April 1865. He successfully led his country through its greatest internal crisis, the American Civil War, preserving the Union and ending slavery. Before his election in 1860 as the first Republican president, Lincoln had been a country lawyer, an Illinois state legislator, a member of the United States House of Representatives, and twice an unsuccessful candidate for election to the U.S. Senate.

Lincoln won the Republican Party nomination in 1860 and was elected president later that year. His tenure in office was occupied primarily with the defeat of the secessionist Confederate States of America in the American Civil War. He introduced measures that resulted in the abolition of slavery, issuing his Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 and promoting the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution. Lincoln became the first American president to be assassinated. Lincoln held a moderate view of Reconstruction, seeking to speedily reunite the nation through a policy of generous reconciliation. Lincoln has consistently been ranked by scholars as one of the greatest of all U.S. Presidents.

Abraham Lincoln was born on February 12, 1809, to Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hanks, two farmers, in a one-room log cabin on the 348-acre (1.4 km2) Sinking Spring Farm, in southeast Hardin County, Kentucky (now part of LaRue County), making him the first president born in the west. Lincoln was not given a middle name. His ancestor Samuel Lincoln had arrived in Hingham, Massachusetts from England in the 17th century. His grandfather, also named Abraham Lincoln, had moved to Kentucky, where he owned over 5,000 acres (20 km2), and was ambushed and killed by an Indian raid in 1786.

Lincoln's formal education consisted of about 18 months of schooling; but he was an avid reader and largely self-educated. He was also skilled with an axe and a talented local wrestler, the latter of which helped give him self-confidence. Lincoln avoided hunting and fishing because he did not like killing animals, even for food.

Lincoln began his political career in March 1832 at age 23 when he announced his candidacy for the Illinois General Assembly. It lasted, however, untill his brutal assassination.

Ploy of Assassination:
John Wilkes Booth, a well-known actor and a Confederate spy from Maryland, had formulated a plan to kidnap Lincoln in exchange for the release of Confederate prisoners. After attending an April 11 speech in which Lincoln promoted voting rights for blacks, an incensed Booth changed his plans and determined to assassinate the president.

Learning that the President and First Lady would be attending Ford's Theatre, he laid his plans, assigning his co-conspirators to assassinate Vice President Andrew Johnson and Secretary of State William H. Seward. Without his main bodyguard Ward Hill Lamon, to whom he related his famous dream regarding his own assassination, Lincoln left to attend the play- Our American Cousin on April 14, 1865.

Lincoln sat in his state box (Box 7) in the balcony, Booth crept up behind the President and waited for what he thought would be the funniest line of the play ("You sock-dologizing old man-trap"), hoping the laughter would muffle the noise of the gunshot. When the laughter began, Booth jumped into the box and aimed a single-shot, round-ball .44 caliber (11 mm) Deringer at his head, firing at point-blank range. Using a probe, Barnes located some fragments of Lincoln's skull and the ball lodged 6 inches (15 cm) inside his brain.

Lincoln never regained consciousness and was pronounced dead at 7:22:10 a.m. April 15, 1865.
