Hi, Taehyung-ah 🤗🤗🤗 How are you today? I hope that you're fine and well. I wonder if you have another hard and tiring training session today. You've gotten very strong, Taehyung-ah. Making us very proud of knowing and supporting you is one of your wonderful traits. You carry things in a focused and reassured manner so you know the outcome that you have in mind will eventually come to you one day.
Thank you so much for working hard, Taehyung-ah. Thank you so much for spending your days and your life with us. Even though things get hard and even unfair to you, you did not give up. Thank you so much for trusting us and our love for you, Taehyung-ah. I'm sorry if you are misunderstood sometimes even by the people who are close to you. It's just a relief that you choose to act rather than dwell over something that's dragging you down and just get satisfaction for a job well done.
I've been reading a few pages from Newport's book, Deep Work, earlier and I've come to appreciate the value of hard work and deep focus even more. I've talked about nonsense, immature, and unprofessional people in my previous letter, and their disturbing behavior is a result of not just their lack of good background and capability but also their untrained mind and small circle of influence. People like them should have nothing to say to you.
What is it that you're fighting against, Taehyung-ah? Make something out of it. They're stepping stones, so make the most out of them. Don't stop making music, too, even if you're in the military. Continue to nurture what you love and what gives you honor and pride. I'm really happy that you're making great achievements even in the military, Taehyung-ah. You're getting the best training, you've worked so greatly and you're proud of it all. As I've already told you, I've set up a personal website and I stress excellence there. Excellence or good work is the food for honor and pride. You've got something to show, not some people who want to show something (unlike my noisy neighbors).
Once again, you're showing the true value of winning, Taehyung-ah. Most people who haven't been recognized for something amazing will mistake aggression and scheming for winning. People like gossipers and maniacs who can't keep their mouths shut haven't tried working hard. I just really hope festering people like them are not burdening you, Taehyung-ah. If you’ve found such parasites who keep announcing their disgusting presence, don’t get deceived by their sinister scheming and reasoning, because the moment you think they're capable of empathy, that's when they go psychopathic and exploitative on you. Put them where they belong.
“Do the right thing. It will gratify some people and astonish the rest.” - Mark Twain
Keep being stronger and keep doing amazing, Taehyung-ah. And remember, we're just here for you, supporting you all the way. I love you so much. I, and so many of your fans and armys, love you so much. May you never stop believing in that. May you always be assured of our love and support for you and know that when it comes to us, you don’t have to do anything unlike you. May you always find the best in you, or the best way to express your ingenuity in every situation, and be happy and proud. There will always be so many among us who can see how amazing you are each time. I hope you’ll cut the things, people, and situations that make you sad and obscured. Don’t be sorry for being yourself. Always remember you are always loved. Borahae, Saranghae, Taehyung-ah. 💖💖💖🤍🤍🤍💜💜💜
