Once upon a time, the poem "Who knows that every meal is hard" often echoes in the ear; ?
Once upon a time, "a porridge and a meal are hard to come by; The old adage "A ray of thread, persistent thinking about material difficulties" still lingers in my mind; ?
Once upon a time, the great leader Mao Zedong hit the floor said quietly, "Waste is a great sin", which led generations to work hard and be self-reliant. ?
Looking back: When you and I wash dishes, wash our faces and brush our teeth, wash our hair and bathe, and flush the toilet, have you ever thought about saving every drop of water? When you and I use electric lights, telephones, computers, air conditioners, water dispensers, copy paper and official documents, do we save? ?
Diligence and thrift are the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "looking forward to the sages and their families, it is difficult to be extravagant." . History has repeatedly proved this truth: luxury can defeat the country, the family and itself. Without the support of thrift and hard struggle, it is difficult for a country to prosper; It is difficult to maintain long-term stability in a society without the spirit of thrift and hard work; Without the spirit of thrift and hard work, it is difficult for a nation to stand on its own feet. Some people may ask, "Now that our life is so good, do we still need to be frugal?" My answer is: "Of course." Diligence and thrift is a virtue and a spirit. It is not based on whether the material is rich or not. ?
We should live frugally in poverty and thrifty in prosperity. As the saying goes, "sit on the mountain and eat empty." In history, "debauchery today, begging in the streets tomorrow." Examples are not uncommon. During the Five Dynasties in China, there was a story of Li Cunxu's "giving a bunch of godchildren". Born in poverty, Li Cunshen fought for his country for 40 years and was shot in the bone by the enemy 100 times. Later, when he became a big official, he was very uneasy when he saw that children were spoiled since childhood, eating, drinking and having fun all day. He gave the children the arrow he had pulled out of the bone before and said, "It's great to know that your father started his business like this." ?
Throughout history, from the country to the family, we are all interested in thrift and forget luxury. Throughout the ages, most successful entrepreneurs have gone through the stage of hard struggle, so they are very diligent and thrifty. But for the guardians, the opposite is true. They have not experienced the hardships of starting a business, and are easy to covet luxury and enjoyment. The ultimate fate must be the decline of their career and the demise of the country. This is the truth revealed by thousands of years of history. ?
Today, with the continuous improvement of our material living standards, the spiritual connotation of thrift is more abundant. Every time you eat, you will think of the difficulty of farming; Every piece of clothing, and then think of the hard work of textile. "This old adage still echoes in my heart. We should be proud of thrift and be ashamed of extravagance and waste; Starting from the side, starting from a dollar, a grain of rice, a drop of water, electricity, a pen, a piece of paper, a book and a piece of leather, we will develop a good habit of thrift and let the spirit of thrift permeate our words and deeds and every move, and accompany us all our lives!
Let the flowers of thrift bloom in every corner of our lives?
I remember when I was very young, the first Tang poem we learned was: "Who knows that every grain of Chinese food is hard", and the ancients said, "Looking ahead to the sages' country, we will turn from frugality to luxury" and "Difficulties and hardships will make you successful"; "Be prepared for danger in times of peace, abstain from extravagance and frugality". Thrift is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation, which is more meaningful in today's society. ?
Since childhood, we have been taught to save money from a small place, starting with a grain of rice and a drop of water. However, saving is not just a trivial matter after all. In today's society, sometimes it becomes very strange, sometimes saving becomes a stingy joke, and sometimes saving becomes a manifestation of poverty. We need to change the so-called vanity consumption psychology and waste concept of the whole society, and we need to re-recognize the Millennium tradition and fine virtues left by our ancestors. ?
From this, I also thought of the great contrast between our behavior and our sense of saving. Looking back on our study life, have we paid attention to saving every drop of water, electricity, rice, paper and noodles? It is often that we inadvertently cause a lot of waste. Many papers are thrown into the wastebasket after only a few words; The lights are on during the day; When the bathroom faucet is on to wash dishes, let the water always flush in the bowl; Grain and white film are scattered on the ground? In fact, you can do better with a little attention, but these details are often ignored. I think we can definitely turn off the lights and water at home; Why do we ignore these details when we get to school? The key is that we don't really integrate ourselves into the school, treat ourselves as the master of the school, and form a good habit and the concept of saving. ? Zhang Ruimin, CEO of Qingdao Haier Group, said: It is not simple, that is, doing simple things thousands of times; It's not easy, that is, doing the easy things thousands of times and doing them right. China has a population of 1 300 million, and each person saves12 meters every day, which can save tens of billions of kilograms of rice a year; If each person saves 1 liter of water every day, China can save10.3 million tons of water a day and 500 million tons of water a year, which is equivalent to the water of five East Lakes. If everyone saves a piece of paper every day, many forests will not be cut down. ?
Saving is a calculation of family happiness and a social obligation. Saving is a vision, an attitude and a kind of wisdom. As small as a person, a family, a country, and as big as the whole mankind, the word "frugality" is indispensable for survival and development. ?
Without the support of thrift and hard struggle, it is difficult for a country to prosper; It is difficult to maintain long-term stability in a society without the spirit of thrift and hard work; Without the spirit of thrift and hard work, it is difficult for a nation to stand on its own feet. So today, we want to propose loudly: let's take active actions, firmly establish a sense of saving, persist in starting from ourselves, and start every day to save every drop of water, every kilowatt hour, every grain and every piece of paper. Only in this way can our earth home be beautiful and rich forever! ?
