You will find that you live in a world full of flowers.

keep kindness in heart

400 years ago, a group of more than 100 Europeans came to the United States because of religious persecution.They suffered from hunger and cold, and most of them died of freezing and starvation in the winter of the first year. The rest of them learned to fish, hunt, grow corn and pumpkins with the help of the local residents, the Indians.In the second year, the crops were unexpectedly bumper.In order to thank God for the good harvest and the help of the Indians, they held a three-day carnival.This custom has continued. In 1863, U.S. President Lincoln announced the fourth Thursday of November as Thanksgiving Day.Later, Thanksgiving became a holiday unique to the United States and Canada.

On Thanksgiving Day, the whole country celebrates with great excitement. Its grand and lively scene is no less than that of Chinese people celebrating the Spring Festival.Of course, on that day, relatives who have been separated for a year will also return from all over the world, and the family will sit together, taste roast turkey, pumpkin pie and cranberry juice and other delicacies, and say "thank you" to the family.Hospitable people don't forget to invite friends, bachelors or people far from home to celebrate the festival on this day.

Since the 18th century, there has been a custom in the United States to send a basket of food to poor families.At that time, a group of young women wanted to choose a day of the year to do good deeds, and they thought that Thanksgiving was the most appropriate day.So as soon as Thanksgiving came, they packed a basket full of food and delivered it to the poor.This incident gradually spread, and soon many people followed their example.No matter who they meet, they will say "Thank you".

This is the case in the West, and our country is no less.Since ancient times, the Chinese nation has had a fine tradition of being helpful and repaying kindness. "Whoever speaks an inch of grass will repay three springs", "Who knows that every piece of Chinese food is hard work", the verses we recited are all about gratitude. "Bringing a ring and knotting grass to repay kindness", "Birds have the love of feeding back, sheep have the kindness of kneeling and breastfeeding", "Drinking water does not forget the man who dug the well", ancient Chinese sayings that have lasted for thousands of years, tell us that we must also be grateful. "Receive the favor of dripping water from others, and repay it with a spring" was also once passed down as a famous saying.However, such ancient teachings do not seem to seep into our blood. We often forget that no matter life or life, we need to be grateful.

Today, our education pays more attention to scores and enrollment rates, coupled with the doting of parents, children do not know how to be grateful, but only know how to ask; adults are driven by interests, and there are also situations of forgetting their roots and not being grateful.We go home for the New Year every year, and the excitement of the reunion is always more than that of gratitude.

Without sunshine, there will be no warmth of life; without rain, there will be no harvest of grains; without water, there will be no life; without parents, there will be no us; without family, friendship and love, the world will be lonely and dark.These are simple truths that no one understands.It's just that we lack a grateful thought and psychology.

The road of life is full of twists and turns, and I don't know how many difficulties and obstacles there are, even setbacks and failures.In times of crisis, someone will extend warm hands to you to relieve the difficulties of life; someone will point out the maze for you and let you know the way forward; someone will even lift you up with their shoulders and body, so that you can climb to the peak of life ... You finally overcome the suffering, set sail and sail to the other shore of happiness.So, can you not feel grateful?Can you not think of anything in return?The key to gratitude is giving back awareness.Repayment is to be grateful to those who nurtured, cultivated, taught, guided, helped, supported and even rescued oneself, and repayed with practical actions through ten times or a hundred times of dedication.

Those who know how to be grateful are often those who have the virtue of humility and awe.When dealing with people who are weaker than yourself, you must know how to bend down, and to feel the grace of God, you must know how to look up.

People who don't know how to repent generally lack gratitude.Such a person is often self-centered, everything is his right, and he doesn't care at all about the help others give, especially pointing out his mistakes and making up for his mistakes.Not only will he not care, but he may also feel that the help is unnecessary, which makes him unable to step down.Such a person's heart is as hard as a concrete floor, which cannot be wetted by water, so it is difficult to utter even the weakest voice of gratitude.

People who hate more than love generally lack gratitude.Such a person's heart is filled with resentment, like a field flooded by rain, it is difficult to absorb new water, and it is difficult to grow grateful flowers or seedlings.

People who value money and power too much are more likely to lack gratitude.Because they get into the eyes of money and cannot get out, and they are addicted to power and cannot get out. They will feel that they are the ones who do favors to others. How can others do favors to them and need to return them?Such a person has a big belly and is used to walking with his head held high. It is already difficult to bend down, squat down, and it is even more difficult to bow or kowtow to thank others.

The enemy of gratitude is ingratitude.However, the truly ungrateful people are a minority after all, and most people can still remember the help, friendship, and favors given to them by others.

Ten years ago, a poor boy sold goods door to door in order to pay his tuition.One night, he was very hungry, so he took the courage to knock on the door of a house, ready to order something to eat.But when a beautiful young girl opened the door, he lost his nerve and asked for a glass of water.The girl saw that he was very hungry, so she brought him a big cup of steaming fresh milk.After drinking, he asked: "How much should I pay you?" The girl replied: "You don't have to pay a penny. My mother told me not to ask for rewards for good deeds." With a grateful heart, he deeply expressed to the girl bowed.

Twenty years later, the girl is in critical condition.And the young man back then has become a doctor in a hospital in a metropolis.When he heard that the patient was from a certain city in his hometown, he immediately went to the patient's ward.When he came to the patient's bed, he recognized the girl immediately.He returned immediately to the consulting room, determined to do his best to save her life.After hard work, the girl finally recovered.

When she was discharged from the hospital, the girl did not dare to open the bill, because she was sure that it might take her a lifetime to pay off the medical expenses.When she plucked up the courage to open it, the words on the bill filled her eyes with tears.That line read: "A glass of fresh milk is enough to pay all the medical expenses!" Only then did the girl realize that the doctor who saved her life was the young man 20 years ago.

The actions of the young man 20 years later tell us that never forget to express gratitude to those who have favored you.And the moment of gratitude, how warm and beautiful the world has become.

Gratitude is the most beautiful emotion in life. It can make us feel the beauty of nature and life, maintain a positive, healthy and sunny attitude, and make the positive energy that everyone needs flow in.With gratitude, you will be less picky about others and the environment, and more appreciative and grateful, so that you will be surrounded by beautiful things all the time, and live in a world full of flowers all your life.Such a person not only accumulates strong positive energy for himself, but also passes the energy on to others.

Those who know how to be grateful are the most beautiful

People who know how to be grateful, they are kind, tolerant, humble, strong...all the advantages and virtues can shine on them, can we say that such people are not the most beautiful people?No, they are the most beautiful people in the world.And the moment of gratitude, all people will be moved.

Two sisters in Hunan fell into the water when they were young and were rescued by a kind man who left without leaving their names.The two sisters and their parents felt that someone saved their lives, but they didn't even say a word of thanks to them, so they vowed to find the benefactor.They searched for 20 years, and the father of the two sisters passed away. They and their mother continued to search in every possible way, and finally found the benefactor.When the two sisters knelt on the ground to thank their benefactor, the two of them, the benefactor and the passers-by could not help but shed tears.At that moment, it was so beautiful... After 20 years of long searching, we saw the never-forgotten kindness and the most beautiful heart in the hearts of the two sisters.Be thankful is active up ponder over, it is the behavior of spontaneity.When a person knows how to be grateful, he will turn gratitude into an action full of love and practice it in his life. Over the past 20 years, the two sisters have been constantly searching, their bodies have been continuously activated, and their positive emotions have continuously generated positive energy, which has also made them stronger.

"Luohong is not a ruthless thing. It turns into spring mud to protect flowers." This is the gratitude of flowers to the earth; , women are the face of those who please themselves", this is the gratitude of human beings to their bosom friends.In real life, we can still see touching scenes of gratitude, which are shocking and tear-jerking.Guarding the tombs of comrades-in-arms for decades, unswerving, is Chen Jian’s gratitude to his comrades who sacrificed; Tian Shiguo’s donation of a kidney to save his mother is the gratitude of his children to his parents San Chunhui; The benefactor, because of the scene of sending charcoal in the snow 54 years ago, he will never forget it...Because they know how to be grateful, they have a heart like gold; Because they know how to be grateful, they have created many legends in the world; So full of warmth.

"Grateful boy" Huang Ge, a Changsha teenager with weak limbs, was diagnosed with congenital muscular dystrophy at the age of 7. According to experts, people with this disease can only live to 18 years old.After hearing about Huang Ge's incident, many people extended a helping hand to him in different ways.Before the age of 18, Huang Ge raced against death under the umbrella held up by his father and under the clear sky cared by everyone.Accompanied by his father, Huang Ge traveled thousands of miles and traveled all over China in three years, just to say "thank you" to those who helped him.During this period, Huang Ge had already lost the ability to stand and sit. His father had to carefully carry him into the wheelchair every day and carefully "fix" him with ropes to ensure that he would not slip off the wheelchair.Huang Ge said firmly: "To be alive is to be happy, so we must be grateful!

At the "Mature Ceremony" ceremony held by Hunan Satellite TV, they talked about the sincere feelings of father and son for more than ten years.Huang Ge had a hope at the coming-of-age ceremony, which was to "hug my father with my own hands". After the host He Jiong supported Huang Ge's immobile hands and "hugged" his father, he said with tears and choked up, "This is my father." This is the first time in my life that such a special wish has been fulfilled.” When the camera swept across every audience member, they all had tears in their eyes, and they couldn’t help but gave their father and son a thumbs up, shouting, “Light up life, come on, Huang Ge!” ", the sound continued to reverberate at the scene... Huang Ge said that the most sorry thing in his life is his father, who cannot repay his father's love for him in his lifetime. He knows that his father has paid too much for him... If there is a next life , he is still willing to continue to be his father's son, to repay his father's love with his whole life, and then say to his father what he has never dared to say: "I'm sorry, Dad."

Yes, life is so precious, we should be grateful to our parents for giving us this life, so that we can come to this world and live once.Similarly, we must not forget those who help us, although they are strangers, but it is they who make us feel the warmth of the world and the meaning of life.Facing the injustice of fate, Huang Ge did not complain or shrink back. He lived tenaciously in his own way and chose to repay the world with gratitude.His life is short, but meaningful, shining, the most beautiful, full of energy, and at the same time conveying positive energy to our society.

Gratitude is not the same as "reciprocating peaches and plums", it is a kind of responsibility, self-reliance, self-esteem and the spiritual realm of pursuing a sunny life!Psychologists generally agree with such a rule: change the heart, change the attitude; change the attitude, change the habit; change the habit, change the character; change the character, change the life.Having a grateful heart can change our attitude, drive our habits, sublimate our character, and let us reap a beautiful life!

say your gratitude out loud
We often say "Great kindness does not say thank you", but even so, gratitude must be expressed.There used to be such a legend in the United States-in a village, a family sat around the dining table to eat, but what the mother brought was a pot of straw.The whole family was very strange and didn't know what was going on.My mother said: "I have cooked for you all my life, and you have never said a word of thanks, nor praised the delicious food. What is the difference between this and eating straw!"

Even the most unrequited mother in the world is eager to hear even a little echo of gratitude, so we need to express our gratitude for the help and kindness given by others.It is not only to express gratitude, but also a kind of inner communication.In such exchanges, we will feel that the world has become extraordinarily beautiful because of this close connection.

We Chinese are relatively reserved. Many people may remember the kindness of others in their hearts, but they don't know how to express it.In fact, this is not difficult, a sincere "thank you" is enough.

One day, a man was waiting for the subway at the subway station, and a four or five-year-old boy ran over from the other side of the platform.He asked the man which side of the subway to take to get to Lama Temple, and the man told him that his side was the closest.The boy ran back happily again.His mother is waiting for him over there.After waiting for a long time, the subway did not come, so the man left, ready to go up and take the bus.When he walked to the exit at the top of the stairs, he heard the little boy shouting "Uncle, Uncle" from behind.The man didn't know what he was going to do, so he stood there waiting for him.With sweat on his forehead, the boy ran up to the man and said out of breath, "I forgot to say 'thank you' to you just now. My mother asked me if I said 'thank you', and I said I forgot, and my mother asked me to Follow up to thank you."

The behavior of the child and his mother tells us that we should never forget to be grateful, and we must not forget to be grateful for the insignificant help and care that no matter who gives us, and we must say our gratitude out loud.

Parents gave us life, brought us up, and worked hard for us every day. When they come home, they will say "thank you" to them after a busy day, and they will feel relieved.

Your lover gave you a warm home, and she does many things like work, educating children, cooking, etc., looking at the light waiting for you in the middle of the night, and saying "thank you" to her after entering the house, her exhaustion is gone will decrease suddenly.

Friends reach out to us when we are in trouble, we used to have fun together, share pain together, say "thank you" to them when we call or meet each other, and our friendship will last forever.

Those who need us to say "thank you" are our competitors, those who have hurt us, and the strangers who gave us a smile... In short, everyone who walks into our lives deserves our sincere thanks. Say "thank you" to them.

Don't let gratitude only come from your heart and end with your mouth. To those you need to thank, you must express your gratitude loudly, so that your voice of gratitude can resound through the earth and pass through the air to everyone's heart.

A few years ago, Chengdu Daily launched the column "Advocating Thanksgiving Culture to Build a Harmonious Chengdu", the purpose of which is to give readers an opportunity to pour out their hearts and let them express their gratitude from the heart. "Grandpa Le, hello! Three years ago, my younger brother and I were both admitted to the university. We were overjoyed, but worried about the high tuition fees... At this difficult time, Grandpa Le, your love to help students give us It was hope that made our siblings successfully enter the university... In the past three years, whenever we think of your help to us at the beginning, we are grateful and unforgettable. You are the person who moved me all my life..." This It is the gratitude expressed by a kind reader in his heart.

This expresses not only a kind of true feelings, but also the communication and exchange between hearts, and the interaction and transmission of positive energy between hearts.What this brings us will be touching moments one by one, and we will live in a harmonious and beautiful world.

Turn rewarding individuals into rewarding society

Gratitude is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation.Our motherland has a profound cultural heritage of gratitude, which has deeply nourished generation after generation.In building a socialist harmonious society today, gratitude has become a kind of mutual care and a kind of social responsibility.Sister Wang Qin went to school with her disabled sister for six years; Hong Zhanhui took the "abandoned baby sister" to college; Wang Dongyi was suffering from cancer and taught the villagers the technology of greenhouse vegetables; Those who traveled thousands of miles to find a life-saving benefactor, came to the door to express our gratitude.Their good deeds and feats all stem from a grateful heart, which is sublimated into a feeling of gratitude to the society, the people, and the motherland.

When Hai Rui was in prison in the Ming Dynasty, Xu Jie, the Prime Minister of the old country, took the risk to save Hai Rui's life regardless of his personal safety.After Hai Rui was released from prison, Xu Jie recommended him to be Yingtian's prefect.When Hai Rui met Xu Jie, they respectfully called him "Benevolence!" However, when Hai Rui learned that Xu Jie had connived at his family's occupation of land and women, he demanded Xu Jie's resignation from office and sent the two of them together. Son punished.On the balance in Hai Rui's heart, on the one hand is the "old benefactor" who has been so kind to him, and on the other hand is the oppressed common people, which is more important?In the end, the weight of gratitude is still on the side of the people. The kindness of the people and the country is greater than the kindness of individuals.

Gratitude is the pursuit of great love in life. Turning "knowledge of gratitude" into an open and inherited gratitude, and turning repaying individuals into "repaying the society" is the best way to be grateful.

Before Shen Congwen became a well-known writer, he was impoverished and his life was once in a desperate situation.But no matter how hard he worked, he never gave up his ideal, which is to read and write articles, and embark on the road of creation.

One winter, Shen Congwen couldn't bear it any longer. As a last resort, he took the liberty of writing a letter to Yu Dafu, a well-known writer at the time, pleading for help.It is unbelievable that Yu Dafu personally visited Shen Congwen and saw Shen Congwen insisting on writing wrapped in a thin quilt. He was moved by his persistence, so he gave a lot of care in life.After being funded by Yu Dafu, Shen Congwen felt warmer and worked harder to create.

Hard work paid off, and Shen Congwen eventually became a well-known writer.After becoming famous, Shen Congwen often said with emotion that if he hadn't received Yu Dafu's help, he might have been lying down under the eaves of other people's homes.

Shen Congwen learned that this young man was in the same predicament as he was back then, and suddenly realized what he should do.

He carefully answered the youth's doubts about creation, and also donated generously in life, and even sent 50 yuan a month to subsidize his family.With the selfless help of Shen Congwen, the young man published a series of excellent works as he wished, and later took over the post of editor-in-chief of "Ta Kung Pao Literary Supplement" with his outstanding talent.

This young man is Xiao Qian, a famous writer and literary translator.Knowing that Xiao Qian managed the newspaper well, Shen Congwen felt relieved from the bottom of his heart. Only then did he finally realize that the best way to be grateful is not to give everything in return, but to become strong and philanthropic. From then on, he is capable and willing Pass on this kindness.

Help others with a grateful heart, make others realize their ideals in life, and make contributions to society, which is to repay the benefactor and continue the kindness.This is the highest level of gratitude.

Gratitude is the minimum cultivation of being a human being.When a person comes into this world, he cannot do without the upbringing of his parents, the teaching of his teachers, the care of others, the training of the organization and the support of the society.With rain, dew and sunshine from all sides, we can grow from small saplings to towering trees.Repay kindness, be grateful to parents, be grateful to the society, be grateful to the motherland, and be grateful to the whole life.
