7 letters, you need to have time to write for his life

It is foolish to deny the advantages of electronic communications. But they have one major drawback: they will never be able to convey the warmth that we feel, and the joy that we feel when we write this letter.

Of course, the traditional mail should not replace us our online-chat. Letters "in the old" should be an enjoyable hobby.

Think how great it is when you have one or even a few pen pals, that you can write this letter. Imagine you open the mailbox and find a message that you have been waiting for. What is it all the same happy feeling!

In addition to a friendly correspondence, there are seven types of emails that I suggest at least once in his life to write each. Correspondence - win the lottery, you win it anyway: both as an author and as a receiver. The author learns to express their feelings in words, the recipient receives moral support.

Write at least one letter from each category - it is a minimum objective. The habit of writing letters regularly throughout life will bring you tangible benefits. Well, let's go!

1. letter of congratulations

We are proud of themselves, when it reaches its goals. But when others recognize our achievements, it certainly makes our victory is much sweeter. We want people to see us as the potential that we see in ourselves.

Congratulatory letters - a good tool in strengthening both personal and professional contacts. Great idea - regularly send such letters to colleagues and friends, congratulating them with pleasant events in their lives. However, if someone close to you reach great heights, doing something to be admired, it an excellent reason to write them not just a little greeting, and complete a letter of congratulation. Maybe your brother has just become a Marine, and your friend has broken all records in the dash. Or your daughter became a graduate of the College, the first in your family to, among other things.

Let around see what you know about their victories. And proud of them.

2. A letter to your father

Father - an important figure in the life of any person. For better or worse, but in any case the fathers - is the first standard of courage for a child.

Every boy in the future wants to be "the perfect dad." Our fathers are sometimes so far from this model, we are very frustrated when we realize how much better they could be. And sometimes it is just the opposite: they are close to the ideal, and we are worried because of the fact that we can not follow their example.

Either way, the relationship with his father largely shape our identity. Sometimes our feelings toward the parent are so deep and complex that we ourselves can not fully understand them.

Most of us have never found the time to thank their fathers for everything they have done for us. The reverse situation: sometimes we can not forgive them for the pain they've caused us something. Yet, if we are not aware of their feelings to the fathers, we will never be able to understand how they affect us, and to what extent we fail to understand it in themselves.

Write a letter to his father - a great way to reflect on all these issues. You can not send this letter, if you do not want to - you're doing it for yourself. The goal is to better understand your own feelings.

3. Letter of condolence

Of all the letters that you have to write a letter of condolence will be the most difficult. In this moment it is very difficult to find the right words. We are afraid to say something wrong, feel uncomfortable. For these reasons, we rarely write condolence. We assure ourselves that people already know about our sympathy and support, and the words are superfluous.

Yes, they will probably realize that you empathize with them. But they all want to hear it from you. People need a reminder of what you think about them in a moment when they are hard. For a little while, but they will be a little easier on your words. It really means a lot when someone takes the time to tell you: "I know how hard for you, and I hurt by the fact that you are suffering."

4. Letter to my future

At some point in your life will surely come a time when you feel that you have changed: you are in a different look at many things, decides otherwise. I feel it is quite strange, actually. This does not mean that you start to forget their past and emphatically renounce his "younger self." Just your previous life remains behind, and you think that "you do" and "do you now" - these are two completely different people.

This "borderline" state between the past and this gives us an excellent opportunity to reflect on what we are now. I think that would tell the child that you were, to an adult you now see in the mirror?

Now write a letter to yourself in the future. This letter you will not print a few years or even decades. Describe the expectations that you lay on the person who will, when re-read the letter a second time. How do you see your career? Single / Are you married? Do you have children? Are you loyal to their favorite habits? What are the goals you are pursuing? What ideals have remained with you for all these years?

When you read this letter many years later, you may find that your previous goals and ideals It has changed dramatically, but you are, in fact, do not mind: you were the ones that suit you much more. Your boyish naivety and can make you smile and even laugh a little :) Or, on the contrary, the newly Faced with his former dreams, you realize how much you want to achieve and how little reached at fact.

Time is like a journey to help you remember your youthful dreams and aspirations to inspire you to new achievements, and, if it all goes wrong, as you used to be like, then there is always a chance of it correct.

5. Love letter

It is not always easy to express your emotions in relation to other people. Men are much more likely to prefer to express their feelings deeds, not words. But women have been known to love the ears. They want the words, behind which will be action.

The difficulty lies not only in finding beautiful words, but to say them out loud. When we love the excellent harvests it in my mind, very often we do not take into account the environment in which we will "expose" our feelings. The most embarrassing - this is when you are sitting next to someone and trying desperately to remember what words were going to tell him. To avoid all these incidents, we begin to write a love letter.

Love letters often we associate with the past century. Men from the front wrote letters to wives and brides, speaking as they do not have their heat and girls, in turn, wrote that love and expect. Such letters were for months and came only a few times a year.

In the biographies of great men often meet great love declarations, they wrote to their wives and mistresses.

Again, my love. About notorious activities. Are exhaust for me love is everything? All but differently. Love is life, this is important. From it are developed and poems and things, and everything else. Love is at the heart of everything. If it stops working, everything else dies, it becomes superfluous, unnecessary. But if the heart is working, it can not be shown in this around.
From a letter by Vladimir Mayakovsky to Lili Brik

However, your beloved need not be far away, so you decided to write her a love letter. Can address it, even that girl who sleeps with every night. It will be more original and enjoyable than the standard love declarations, which we say every day.

Love letter - is evidence of the history of your love. Which may be then read your grandchildren.

6. Cheer letter

In everyone's life there were those moments when he had to deal with doubts and fears, or moments in which wanted to drop everything and retreat. If you are lucky in your life at this time he appeared joyless man who could cheer you up, make sure that all goes well, in other words, raise your self-esteem and help move on.

Such support is always a positive effect on a person, especially if the words are backed by action to cheer (pat on the shoulder, for example). Although there are times when a letter - is the best option to provide support. And not just because you physically can not always be present with those who want to cheer. The letter remains with the recipient for a long time, he could at any time go back and re-read. When we listen to an impassioned motivational speech, we listen to every word and believe that everything will go all the problems can be solved. But is it worth us some time to be alone, and all our doubts and fears overtake us again.

Cheer letter tells the recipient that you believe in him and his abilities, in that he will cope with all the difficulties. Perhaps your niece recently went to college and does not feel at ease, but still thinking about the dismissal. If you have a similar experience, you can help her advice, cheer it. Perhaps your son broke up with his first love, and thinks that this is the end of the world. Let him know that everything is exactly the opposite and it is not the end but only the beginning.

7. thank you letter

Thanks - this is one of the brightest feelings. Nothing else can not maintain our personal and professional relationships as it is. Appreciation can instantly break the ice between the two men.

We all understand how we need kindness and help of others. You are very lucky if in your life there are people you can thank.

Many only one good word helped to once again become a man, and the gold was powerless.
Erich Maria Remarque "Shelter of Dreams"

Write thank-you letters need as often as possible. Of course, much more easier to send a thank-news by e-mail (and it's certainly better than nothing). But just imagine how touching it - to get this letter written by hand. For example, if there is an employee who diligently and successfully performs the work, you can leave a little note in which you will notice how most of his efforts to him in your office.

We hope that, in addition to such small news, you at least once in a lifetime full write letters of thanks to the most important people in your life: mother, wife (husband), favorite school teacher, to the best friend.

Think of all that they have done for you, and the changes that they have brought into your life. Remember, there is nothing in the world more expensive than a simple human gratitude.
