A heart of gratitude is indispensable]
Gratitude is an attitude towards life, a virtue, and words from the bottom of our hearts. If there is a lack of gratitude between people, it will inevitably lead to cold interpersonal relationships, so we must learn to be grateful.
Thanksgiving is a day for American people to thank God, because religion says that a happy life is a gift from God, so thanking God means thanking God and all the people who have helped you. Thanksgiving is coming soon, and we would also like to thank all the parents, teachers, and classmates who have helped us.
But I learned from the Internet that not many of our primary school students know how to be grateful. Because modern children are the center of the family, they only know how to love themselves and do not know how to care for others. Many students not only do not appreciate their parents' hard work, but instead ask for them endlessly, buying food, clothing, and going to Internet cafes... In their eyes, asking their parents for money is perfectly justified. Among college students, many students ask for money from their parents, but less than one tenth of them write letters of greetings to their families. Seeing this, my heart couldn't calm down for a long time. We shouldn't do this. We should always think about others. We should say "thank you" when our parents give us something. We should do some housework for our parents, and we should study hard to repay our teachers for their upbringing.
Be grateful at home and in society.
There was an individual who sponsored 178 poor children 11 years ago. Now he has lost all his wealth and is suffering from cancer. When he was lying on the bed, he was still being asked, "Didn't you say you wanted to support my child until he graduates from college? He is still in junior high school, and you refuse to pay. Aren't you cheating?" There was no trace of this. The reminder call from the grateful heart is really chilling. Seeing this, I feel that there are too few people who know how to be grateful in today's society. This person sponsored 178 poor children to finish primary school. He must have spent a lot of money. As the saying goes, "A drop of kindness should be repaid by a spring." These parents should go to the hospital to take care of him! Not only did these parents not express gratitude, they allowed this man who was facing death to continue to support their children. Gratitude is a basic moral principle that every citizen should have, and it is the minimum cultivation of a human being. How can they do this? Where have their consciences gone? We primary school students must not be like them. If others help you, you have to repay others.
"It is not a gentleman to know a favor but not repay it." We should have a grateful heart all the time, every day, every year and forever; let gratitude be a habit and a virtue, deeply rooted in our hearts.
Poetic life requires gratitude
I have been thinking that besides fame and rise and fall, there should be something that is more long-term and important. Something we can believe in and hope will never go away.
I accidentally heard an American folk song "Old Negro". Its optimistic attitude towards the world and open-mindedness towards life reminded me of the Thanksgiving Day in Western culture and what we have been doing since ancient times. , a feeling that will never disappear in the long history and culture - gratitude.
Looking back, I have always said that I want to pursue happiness. Because I can't realize the true meaning of happiness, I start to complain constantly, blame my parents and elders, and lament the sadness of the world. In fact, happiness has stayed with me for more than 20 years, but I didn't notice it or experience it. When I was busy studying, working, and falling in love... I neglected to find my grateful heart. From this, I also see that today’s children are pampered and lack a sense of responsibility. They only know how to ask for things, but they don’t know how to repay or give. Whose responsibility is this? Is it the children? No, they are flowers in a garden bed that require careful watering by the gardener to grow healthily. It's us parents who are too busy and don't let them understand what is the most precious thing - gratitude. Some people may say: "Children don't even have time to play now." Yes, they are too busy, busy with school, busy participating in various competitions, busy with various training classes... but they can't find time to be grateful. Once I asked the children in my class: "Have you done housework for your parents for a day? Have you washed the feet of your elders? Have you taken care of your parents when they were sick?" The answer was silence.
Dear children and your parents, make a cup of tea and let us recite Meng Jiao's poem "The Wandering Son" together. A wanderer's love and longing for his mother in a foreign land will make people feel Infinite tenderness surges up. Even if he is wandering, he is happy because he has a grateful heart. Take an evening and read Chen Mi's "Chen Qing Biao". The kind of love for family that goes beyond fame makes us shed tears. Let's also recite "Oasis" by the modern poet Xixi. The detached attitude and gratitude towards the harsh natural environment are touching.
If a person lives with a grateful heart, it is simply a poetic dwelling. Children, let us learn to be grateful.
Be grateful to your parents and elders, be grateful to your mentors and friends, be grateful year after year, be grateful to the spring and autumn harvest... You will find that our lives are so rich and so happy!
If you have a grateful heart, you will have everything
The reason why the flowers are so beautiful is because they are grateful for the cultivation of the soil; the reason why the grass is so strong is because it is cultivated in the soil. Repay nature for the life it has given it; the reason why a bird's song is so beautiful is because it is grateful to the forest that gave it its singing voice... The reason why everything is beautiful is because they have a grateful heart. "A grateful heart, thank you for being with me throughout my life and giving me the courage to be myself; a grateful heart, thank you for life, I will cherish it even if the flowers bloom and fall." Face the world with a grateful heart, and face the world with a grateful heart. Treat our lives with gratitude and treat our work with gratitude.
Working is beautiful. Are you filled with gratitude when you face the smiling faces of your students? Does it also make students full of gratitude?
A grateful heart is a beautiful psychological ability. It not only allows students to know how to repay, but also allows students to improve their self-happiness when they are grateful to others, and it becomes a kind of responsibility, self-reliance, self-esteem and Pursue a spiritual world of sunny life!
To cultivate students' gratitude, we can start with the "three steps" of developing gratitude ability.
The first step is to let students feel lack and satisfaction, and satisfaction is predicated on lack. For example, a student’s beloved stationery was lost. At this time, a classmate from the next class picked it up and brought it back. In this process, students experience the pain of loss and the joy of satisfaction. Only with this experience can students take the first step to have the ability to be grateful.
The second step is to guide students to understand the source of satisfaction. When a student knows that satisfaction is a very happy feeling, the teacher should tell him that it was because of the help of his classmates that he regained his stationery.
The third step is to let students learn to be grateful. When students have the ability to recognize the source of kindness, teachers can help students learn how to repay kindness. A simple saying "thank you" can be as complicated as helping each other; as small as saying "thank you" as a favor, as big as treating everything in the world with gratitude.
Giving roses to others leaves a lingering fragrance in your hands. Learning to be grateful will make your life more fulfilling, make the world more beautiful, and make your life more brilliant.
The preciousness of gratitude
"What makes us happy and live every day happily? What makes us fulfilled and moved every day? The answer is these two words ——Thank you." When we see this passage in the students' diaries, we can't help but feel gratified for their sensibleness.
However, in today's society, repaying kindness is already too far away from us. The upbringing of parents, the teachings of teachers, the service of others, the gifts of nature... Many people have realized that it is natural, should be taken for granted, and they have never thought about repaying. They have never thought about repaying. . I once heard a piece of news: There was a single mother who got up early and set up a street stall in the dark in order for her son to live a good life and go to a good school. He couldn't bear to eat or wear anything, and he looked more than ten years older than his peers. Not only does her son not feel sorry for his mother, but he also dislikes her and complains about her. She was not allowed to go to the parent-teacher conference because she thought she was old. When he and his classmates met the mother who was running a street vendor, he pretended not to recognize her. Once, when my mother was sick and didn't cook, he left without saying a word. How can such a son not make people feel sad? There are many, many examples like this that can be heard often. Maybe parents are used to giving, maybe society is tolerant enough, but when "gratitude" comes close to us, we still can't help but be filled with emotion.
Gratitude is a noble virtue. How precious it is to be grateful. Our society needs this so much. Only by learning to be grateful can our children treat others with kindness and respect the labor of others. Only by learning to be grateful can our children appreciate everything they have more. Only by learning to be grateful can our children have more ambitious goals and become more successful.
