ABRAHAM LINCOLN's LETTER TO HEADMASTER

A letter written by Abraham Lincoln to the Headmaster of a school in which his son was studying. It contains an advice, which is still relevant today for executives, workers, teachers, parents and students. A WORD TO TEACHERS

He will have to learn, I know, that all men are not just, all men are not true. But teach him also that for every scoundrel there is a hero; that for every selfish Politician, there is a dedicated leader... Teach him for every enemy there is a friend, It will take time, I know; but teach him if you can, that a dollar earned is of far more value than five found... Teach him to learn to lose... and also to enjoy winning. Steer him away from envy, if you can, teach him the secret of quiet laughter. Let him learn early that the bullies are the easiest to lick... Teach him, if you can, the wonder of books... but also give him quiet time to ponder the eternal mystery of birds in the sky, bees in the sun, and the flowers on a green hillside. In the school teach him it is far honourable to fail than to cheat... Teach him to have faith in his own ideas, even if everyone tells him they are wrong... Teach him to be gentle with gentle people, and tough with the tough. Try to give my son the strength not to follow the crowd when everyone is getting on the band wagon... Teach him to listen to all men... but teach him also to filter all he hears on a screen of truth, and take only the good that comes through. Teach him if you can, how to laugh when he is sad... Teach him there is no shame in tears, Teach him to scoff at cynics and to beware of too much sweetness... Teach him to sell his brawn and brain to the highest bidders but never to put a price-tag on his heart and soul. Teach him to close his ears to a howling mob and to stand and fight if he thinks he's right. Treat him gently, but do not cuddle him, because only the test of fire makes fine steel. Let him have the courage to be impatient... let him have the patience to be brave. Teach him always to have sublime faith in himself, because then he will have sublime faith in mankind. This is a big order, but see what you can do... He is such a fine fellow, my son!

ABRAHAM LINCOLN'S LETTER TO HEADMASTER

More parents believe that their children, particularly sons, are made in image and are therefore infallible. I have heard countless mothers blaming school and college friends for the waywardness of their sons, My boy is so good and innocent, they say, it is his companions who teach him wrong ways. In many cases, it may be the other way round, but mothers wont be convinced. And in this blind love of sons, fathers are only a step behind their wives. Abraham Lincoln was and impressive writer, though he is better known for his oratory and for his address at the Gettysburg battle field containing the immortal phrase about democracy being Government of people, by the people, for the people. He once wrote a letter to his sons tutor about the qualities that he expected him to inculcate in the boy. Even the realist in him was carried away and he couldnt help saying: He is such a fine little fellow, my son. It is an exemplary letter and sets down in simple but beautiful words all that a sensitive enlightened and non-materialist father would want his son to be. Any other father would have wished for a more ambitious future for his son. Not so Mr. Lincoln who laid down such godly traits for the teacher to instill in the boy that one is inclined to sympathize with the poor man. Sadly we dont know what kind of material that fine fellow, my son, proved for the teacher to work on. The East, of which Pakistan is a part, is known for pampered sons taking excessive pride in the wealth or social position of their fathers and behaving like spoiled brats. But fathers too sometimes go overboard with joy when their sons have made good. So it works both ways. The other day I was told by a lady of a relation of hers who had stopped acknowledging the less prosperous members of the family because his two sons had become millionaires in America. Their success had gone to his head. It is obvious from Abraham Lincolns letter that he didnt crave for such success for his son, nor dire he want the boy to be devoid of the high values that have come to accepted by mankind over the centuries as the attribute of a truly noble person noble in the context of mans development from a wild brute to the image of Gods vicegerent on earth and using his heart and min d for the good of his fellowman. Abraham Lincoln junior was not likely to become a spoilt brat like to become a spilt brat like those mentioned above, for his father wrote to teacher, Treat him gently but do not coddle him because only the test of fire makes fine steel. Let him have the courage to be impatient; Let him have the patience to be brave. Teach him always to have sublime faith in himself, because then he will have faith in mankind. As Pakistan accustomed to equating politics with every thing that is unethical, I was particularly struck by Mr. Lincolns behest to the tutor to acquaint his young pupil with the verities of practical life. He wrote, He will have to learn that all men are not just true. But teach him also that for every scoundrel there is a hero that for every selfish politician there is as dedicated leader. Teach him that for every enemy there is a friend. And what a fine manner the fond father chose to deal with the reality of the day to day world and the need to stay clear of greed when he said, It will take time, I know, but teach him, if you can, that a dollar earned is of for more value then five found. Teach to him to learn to loose and also to enjoy winning. Let him keep a wary from envy and learn that bullies are the easiest to lick.

Side by side with this, Mr. Lincoln was anxious that boy should learn to be thoughtful of gods creation as we see around us. Teach him if you please, he counseled with the teacher, the wonder of books but also give him quiet time to ponder over the external mystery of board in the sky, bees in the sun and flowers on the green hill side. Have you notice with us this aspect of creation is the one that is always ignored? We do not give it any importance for the simple reason that it had never found a place is our own lives as children. At this point is the letter I began to wonder what the teacher had thought of the responsibility that the idealistic father had placed on his shoulder. May be in his feel for good language and high moral values Mr. Lincoln was asking for too much, and may be the poor teacher was not intellectually fitted to do the difficult job of fashioning a son to the great mans prescription. I suppose that is why he says in the end, This is big order, but see what you can do. He is such a fine little fellow, my son. We dont really know about the teacher, so read on In the school continued Mr. Lincoln, teach him it is far honourable to fail than to cheat...Teach him to have faith in his own ideas, even if everyone tells him they are wrong... Teach him to listen to all men... but teach him also to filter all he hears on a screen of truth, and take only the good that comes through. The advice about cheating struck a chord with which we are all too familiar in Pakistan influential fathers running after examiners to convert the results of sons from fail to pass, even trying to see if they could stand first. The bit that follows sounds as if it was written for Pakistan politicians and government leaders. Teach him to be gentle with gentle people, and tough with the tough. Try to give my son the strength not to follow the crowd when everyone is getting on the band wagon... If our Johnnies had only done this and nothing else (plus to follow the advice not to cheat) successive Prime Ministers may not have lost their power and position. Mr. Lincoln is very much alive to the finer sentiments when he says, Teach him if you can, how to laugh when he is sad... Teach him there is no shame in tears, Teach him to scoff at cynics and to beware of too much sweetness... this is followed by what I liked best in the letter: Teach him to sell his brawn and brain to the highest bidders but never to put a price-tag on his heart and soul. I wonder if fathers in Pakistan however enlightened they may be. Will appreciate the sensitivity of these words or of the whole letter for that matter.

A nearby house next to a vending machine and a car should be your target from here. Inside the house,

there's a laptop on the table. This is a piece of Intel, and collecting all thirty of them in the game will unlock all of the Cheat options available. If you collect the Laptop, and then head through the nearby checkpoint, it will be permanently acquired on your save file. Kill yourself at this point (a Grenade is an easy way to do so), and backtrack to the house. Collect the Laptop again, go to the checkpoint, kill yourself, and repeat the process. By doing this, you can collect thirty laptops without actually collecting all thirty of them.

A "Cheat" option will now appear during game play at the "Options" menu.

The more of them you collect, the more cheats you can access. On the left are the number of Intel Pieces collected, and on the right are the cheats that are unlocked, with an explanation of what each does. 2 - "CoD Noir" Play the game in black and white. 4 - "Photo-Negative" Game colors become inverted. 6 - "Super Contrast" Game's contrast increases. 8 - "Ragtime Warfare" The game feels like an old silent movie. 10 - "Cluster Bombs" One frag grenade thrown equals five in explosion. 15 - "A Bad Year" Enemies explode into tires when shot. 20 - "Slow-Mo Ability" Game plays at 40% normal speed. 30 - "Infinite Ammo" Just what it says.

Mile High Club mission: ----------------------Complete Story mode under any difficulty. Multiplayer Challenges: ----------------------Simply ranking up is enough to unlock the ordinary perks, but weapon modifications like laser sights, grenade launcher attachments and silencers are unlocked with specific challenges. Luckily these are pretty straightforward: want a sight for your M16? Get 50 kills with your M16. And better still, unlocking these gives you a bucket-load of XP towards your next promotion. Crew Expendable: Desert Eagle: -----------------------------In the second large containment room, run ahead of your team. There are two enemies with Desert Eagles who will try to surprise you around two corners, depending on the path you take. Game Over: SSgt. Griggs's "Success!" comment:
