Learn to be grateful and cherish what you have

Learn to be grateful and cherish what you have. I first saw these eight words on TV. I remembered them as a slogan above the blackboard in a classroom. I thought these words were good and wrote them down. Later it became my mantra and motto. At my daughter’s wedding, in my calligraphy works, and in my daily life and work, I taught my children, warned myself, and inspired others. These eight words have profound meanings and are worth pondering. It is not easy to achieve them. I have always put these eight words in a frame and pressed them under the table to encourage myself all the time.

Remember the kindness of others, always remember the kindness of others, and never forget the kindness of others. This is what our mother has always taught us since we were young. Throughout my mother's life, the reason why so many people respected her, loved her and missed her is because, as I wrote in the article "Mother", there were the sixth wife who was the most difficult to get along with, aunts and uncles whose daughters were as old as her mother, and Aunt Baozi is many years older than her mother, not to mention her peers and juniors. They treat their mothers like their own children, and their mothers treat them like their own parents and sisters. It has been twenty-six years since my mother passed away, and no one has said a word about her. Moreover, even the older Murakami burst into tears whenever he mentions his mother, saying, "What a pity that person is." I believe that in addition to being a mother who is tolerant, kind, sincere and selfless, what is more important is that she knows how to be grateful and give back to others. There is no love without reason in the world, and there is no hatred without reason; without giving, how can there be any reward?

We grew up in a benevolent family and were influenced by our ancestors and fathers. We inherited the family tradition of advocating thrift, cherishing blessings and doing good, and we also formed our own principles for doing things. If others respect me a foot, I will repay others a foot; I would rather everyone owe me, but I will never owe anyone; the kindness of a drop of water will be repaid by the spring; when I drink water, I will not forget the person who dug the well. These words still linger in my ears and are etched in my heart.

Be respectful and act with caution. Over the years, no matter my family, relatives, teachers, classmates, colleagues, friends, etc., as long as they are affectionate, righteous, kind and loving to me, I will repay my gratitude and repay and cherish them twice as much.

I was still young when my father passed away. When my mother became ill, although I showed my filial piety and tried my best, I always felt guilty and left many regrets. There is no way to repay the kindness of knowing and encountering someone. I can only devote all my thoughts to my brothers and the next generation. For this reason, it also came to be known as "Tie Daha". "Bietuo Dahaha" means being willing to suffer losses, endure silently, and not expect anything in return. In each of our three uncles' families, there is a "big turtle". The eldest son of the eldest uncle's family and the eldest son of the uncle's family are both people who endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens. They all hope that their brothers and nephews will be like others. This is not surprising. Who told us to be the first people to enter the city?

The most interesting thing is that where "Bie Daha" is located, brothers and nephews basically take refuge here. This is in line with the old saying: rely on the mountain to eat the mountain, rely on the water to eat the water, and have the wisdom to eat the wisdom. Make a contribution with force. For example, my second brother, after moving to the city, worked hard on his own, and now he is the manager of a property management company. He is said to be in charge of six or seven communities. My cousin, the ninth among the uncles, collected eggs from the countryside in the early 1980s and went to buy them near my eldest brother's school. Conditions were not good at that time, so every time we checked in via shuttle bus, my eldest brother had to go to the passenger terminal to pick him up. After making my first pot of gold, I took the electrician certificate and now I am a property management person. Residents in the Big Brother community install lights and change water pipes. I am service-oriented and always available, and I have become a well-known Master Geng. . There is also another cousin of mine who went to the city where his eldest brother lives. He first learned a trade, did odd jobs, found a job, started a family and started a business, and he is living a happy life today. There are also nephews and nieces. We elders really put in the effort and thought, even more so than our own children.

Nowadays, all the previous generations have passed away. Our uncles, brothers and dozens of people from the next generation all live in the city, almost out of touch with the countryside, and they are all smart and capable. This means being grateful to our ancestors and fathers. Although they were poor and uneducated at that time, they did not lose the bottom line of how they behaved and did things, and the genes of people's original good nature were not broken. Thanks to the blessings of the older generations, among us and the next generation, there are technical secondary school students, college students, graduate students and doctoral students, and each generation is getting better and better!

Similarly, the most unforgettable thing is the "eldest turtle" among the three of us, our brothers and the elders of our children.

Ask yourself: Without their help and guidance, why would you be able to gain a foothold in the city? Without their support and care, how could you have the comfortable and comfortable life you have today? Without their human resources, what qualifications do you have to run rampant and curse in the streets? Without their earnest teachings, you don’t know how many detours you would have taken? Therefore, when you have good luck and a successful career, never forget your parents, your brothers and sisters, your uncles, aunts and uncles.

Gratitude is a philosophy of life, an attitude towards life, an excellent quality and a moral sentiment. A philosopher once said that the greatest tragedy or misfortune in the world is for a person to say without shame that no one gave me anything. Only those who are grateful can gain more happiness and happiness in life, and can abandon meaningless blame. Only those who are grateful will be energetic, open-minded and wise, have good luck and stay away from troubles.

In a person's life, there is a lot of happiness around you, it just depends on whether you know how to cherish it. Cherish it and you will be happy for a lifetime. If you miss it, you may never get it back. If you want to be happy, you must first learn to cherish. As long as you cherish it, you will be the happiest person in the world.

Only when you learn to be grateful and cherish what you have can you open the road to happiness; only when you learn to be grateful and cherish what you have can your heart be magnanimous and comfortable.
