Dear Samuel,
Normally I wouldn't do such a thing like writing a letter to my past self. I'm sure you'd agree with me when I say to live in the moment; forget the past. But out of compassion, I feel I must write you this letter. I have three important general guidelines to give you.
First, continue what you are doing. You are on an honorable path in life, Samuel, and if you continue to do so, the future will hold many things for you, endless things. Whatever you want, it can be yours. There will be tests and trials along the way that will try to shake your resolve. But I know you're strong enough. These obstacles might even come in the forms of seemingly close friends. Which leads me to my next piece of advice.
Next, seek out the truest of your friends. Do not be concerned with the quantity of friends. Don't seek superficial happiness or complacency with your life through commitment to fake friends. Test your friends, test their resolve, fish out the fakes and keep close the real. You are who you surround yourself with.
Lastly, be an honest man. Don't pursue your goals for the wrong reasons. Don't do it for the money, for the fame, or for the glory. Do it for the right reasons; we both know what those are.
I'd write more, but I have things to do, Sam. Catch up to me soon.
Love,
Samuel Kim
