Oppose saving and wasting composition.

I have met countless people of insight, countries and families in history. Their success is due to thrift. When they are extravagant and corrupt, they are ruined. It is an eternal truth that "success comes from thrift and destruction comes from luxury".

The ancients thought that whether it can be saved is a matter of life and death for a country, a family and a person, which can not be ignored.

But in modern times, with the development of science and technology and the improvement of material living standards. People are gradually indifferent to the lessons of the ancients and are wanton in extravagance and waste. Great changes have taken place in the concept of economic growth and material consumption, and the awareness of saving has gradually faded.

Many people believe that savings can neither bring money nor material enjoyment to themselves and their families; Doing waste will not bring losses to yourself and your family, nor will it hurt yourself and your loved ones.

As we all know, the earth, the home on which we live, can no longer support us, and we are still extravagant and wasteful. One day, the earth will abandon us and the world will abandon us!

There are many examples of waste, which we can imagine in our minds: the bright classroom must be turned on during the day, the faucets are all "flowing" and the computer is always on standby. We already "don't know what frugality tastes like".

There are many examples around us. ...

One Sunday, after I finished my homework, I picked up a case of an ancient celebrity:

Yao is particularly concerned about the people and thinks it is his own fault that others are hungry and cold. But his own life is very frugal. He often wears coarse clothes, eats coarse rice and drinks wild vegetable soup. It is precisely because Yao is thrifty in his career and life that he won the love of the people and became a saint.

Su Shi, one of the eight masters in Tang and Song Dynasties, is 265,438+0 years old and a scholar. He has been an official for 40 years. During his time as an official, he always paid attention to thrift and often lived very carefully. In 1080, Su Shi was demoted to Huangzhou, and his salary was reduced a lot, so he was too poor to live. Later, with the help of my friends, I got a piece of land and cultivated it myself. In order not to waste a penny, he also plans to spend: first calculate all the money, and then divide it into 12 shares on average, one for each month; Each serving is divided into 30 small portions on average, and only one small portion is used every day. After all the money is paid, hang it on the beam according to the amount, and take a bag every morning as the living expenses for the whole day. After getting a small amount of money, he should weigh it carefully. If he can't buy it, he will definitely not buy it. Only surplus is allowed, and overspending is not allowed. Su Shi keeps money in a bamboo tube in case something goes wrong.

Zhao Kuangyin taught women to be frugal. As the head of a country, the emperor should be said to be the richest man in the world, and all the treasures can be enjoyed. However, Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty, not only lived frugally and opposed extravagance and waste, but also strictly educated his children to be frugal.

……

I didn't know that ancient people paid so much attention to the economy.

After a while, my friend called and said she would go to her house to play, so I went by bike. When I got to her house, my friend was still doing her homework and told me to wait and finish it quickly. I wandered around her living room bored. Suddenly, I noticed that the light on her computer was flashing, so I walked over curiously and felt it burning. I asked her how long she had been driving, and my friend casually replied, "I forgot to turn it off last night, and it won't cost much electricity anyway." "But what a waste." I retort. "Okay, okay, stop preaching." My friend smiled and turned his head to do his homework. I looked at her obvious indifference, and suddenly thought of the cases of Yao, Su Shi, and I was very sad.

Work diligently for the country and frugally for the family.

-"Shangshu Dayu Mo"

Diligent in running state undertakings and frugal in running family life. Luxury and waste are small enough to destroy a harmonious and happy family and large enough to destroy an extremely powerful country.

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.

This should be the sword of Damocles hanging over the head of every Chinese descendant, urging us to fight the war of strict economy. Today, we need to inherit and carry forward fine traditions, cultivate good habits of thrift, and persist in starting from ourselves.

Thrift as a virtue, as a work attitude, as a way of life, as a policy of governing the country, should be strongly advocated. In today's extremely rich material, we should abstain from extravagance and thrift, not waste money and property, and know the virtues we advocate.
