Good evening , boys and girls. Let me start my presentation by introducing myself. Well, my name is anyen . and my topic today is to show our gratitude to people around you. .
First ,I want to tell you a story .
One young academically excellent person went to apply for a managerial position in a big company.He passed the first interview, the director did the last interview, made the last decision.
his father passed away when he was one year old, it is his mother who paid for his school fees. and his mother worked as cloth cleaner.
The director requested the youth to show his hand, the youth showed a pair of hand that is smooth and perfect to the director.The director asked, \" Did you ever help your mother washed the cloth before?\" The youth answered,” never, my mother always wanted me to study and read more books, furthermore, my mother can wash cloths faster than me.”
The director said, I had a request, when you go back today, go and help to clean your mother's hand, and then see me tomorrow morning.
he happily wanted to clean his mother's hand, his mother feel strange, happy but mixed with fear, she showed her hand to the kid. The youth cleaned his mother's hand slowly, his tear drop down as he did that. It is first time he found
his mother's hand is so wrinkled and corned , and there are so many bruises in her hand. Some bruises incites pains so strong that shiver her mother's body when cleaned with water.
This is the first time the youth realized and experienced that it is this pair of hand that washed the cloth everyday to earn him the school fees, the bruises in the mother's hand is the price that the mother paid for his graduation and academic excellence and probably his future.
After finishing the cleaning of his mother hand, the youth quietly cleaned all remaining clothes for his mother.
Next morning, the youth went to the director's office The director noticed the tear in the youth's eye, asked: \" please tell me your feeling.\"
The youth said, I knew what is appreciation, without my mother, there would not the successful me today. I knew how to work together with my mother, then only I can realize how difficult and tough to get something done. I knew the importance and value of family relationship.
The director said, \" This is what I am asking, I want to recruit a person that can appreciate the help of other, a person that knew the suffering of others to get thing done, and a person that would not put money as his only goal in life to be my manager. You are hired.
Well . Then what is gratitude? At the moment a well-known song comes into my mind. Yes, that is called Heart of feel grateful. My heart is filled up with gratitude because I’m with you/Your make me courageous to be myself from cradle to the grave/So now I wanna thank for destiny/I’ll cherish the flower when it blooms until falls. The poetic lyric tells us that gratitude is actually a state of mind.

Ok , How can we express our gratitude? It’s never a simple question to answer. Gratitude is a rare jewel, not a piece of cake, I know. But how can we expect such big events happening now and then? How can we be ready to say thank you ahead of time? How can we always hope to be grateful to everything and everyone for their dignity and generosity? Sometimes I may ask to myself. Is it moral? Is it honest? Is it beneficial? Is it necessary? Or the most interesting one, is it ridiculous? So in my opinion, we’d better concentrate on our life’s details. Keep your eyes open to your daily life. Yes! A shining smile is supposed to be gratitude. A thank-you note is supposed to be gratitude. A soulful watch is supposed to be gratitude. As far as a baby’s crying on his arrival is supposed to be gratitude. And even fallen leaves in autumn are supposed to be gratitude. So the person, who stands here giving you a speech, is also showing HIS gratitude.
I dare to say that everyone, you and me, has the right and the duty to show our gratitude to the world, no matter rich or poor, happy or sad, young or old. Only by doing so can we achieve our human ultimate concern. Meanwhile it obviously helps to build up a harmonious society. Under the same sky we enjoy the same sunshine and appreciate the same love due to thanking and caring each other. Well, does it Plato’s paradise?
Then, go Thanksgiving those people strangers. Although you do not know do not know them, but they are also for the society and the job. It is their labor, and create the social material and spiritual beauty. Well, they is not worth it to you grateful for it? Perhaps you will say, we can not do anything for them, but we are a member of society, doing their job, a building block for society, is one of the best return on the.
All in all, a world full of gratitude is preciously expected for thousands of years. Why not show our gratitude to people around you?
