The Importance of Teaching Duty

F. Scott Fitzgerald's letter to his daughter highlights the importance of teaching our children to believe in duty. While happiness and pleasure are fleeting and can lead to a shallow pursuit of external things, duty and virtue offer more meaningful rewards. By instilling a sense of duty, teaching our kids to contribute to the common good, cultivate their talents, and uphold virtues such as stoicism, courage, moderation, justice, and wisdom, we help them lead a more purposeful and fulfilling life.
