Today, I am very glad to have the opportunity to talk to you about the gratitude education that is currently advocated and widely concerned by people. What exactly is gratitude education? What moved us? There is an article on the monthly exam paper of senior two Chinese, the topic is "If today is the last day of my life". I think this topic is very good, so I made a survey in my class: What would you do if today was the last day of our lives? There are more speeches under the stage: some say to have a good meal, some say to enjoy it, some say not to do anything ... There are various answers. Then I remembered a report I had read before: a mother accompanied her son to take the college entrance examination, while her son was taking the exam in the classroom and her mother was waiting outside. Because it was too hot and the temperature was too high, my mother quickly fell to the ground with heatstroke and was taken to the hospital by passers-by. In the hospital, my mother never woke up, which made many doctors very helpless. Finally, a nurse had a good idea and whispered in her mother's ear that "the college entrance examination is over". Before the words were finished, the mother sat up and said loudly, "I have to ask my son how he did in the exam." ! "In this do or die, the mother is still worried about her son who is taking the exam. What a great maternal love this is. She always puts her son first, because she cares about her son, regardless of anything, even life. I believe that parents of all students will pay for you in this situation, because you are her child. They love you, and they care about you more than their own lives.

But classmates, how many of you put your parents first? Many students always complain that their parents are too bad and wrong, find fault with their parents' behaviors and practices, and even directly contradict their parents! Some students don't know their parents' health, don't remember their parents' birthdays, and some don't even know where their parents work. Think about it, your parents have put so much energy and effort into you. Ask yourself, have you ever cared about them? What have you done for your parents? If nothing is done, what is the reason to blame parents? If you treat your parents like this, how can you expect you to be kind to your teachers and friends? How can we expect you to shed blood when the country is in trouble? If everyone is so selfish, where can there be warmth in society? What's the point of living if we live in a world that has lost its warmth? It's no use just shouting slogans. We should take practical actions to care for our parents! Students, I want to say that if today is the last day of my life, the first thing we should do is to repay my parents who raised me! Give them their love.

There is also a report that an illiterate mother has worked hard for most of her life and bought a pair of silver bracelets, which are too precious to take off all day. Once she went to the city to visit her son, who was in senior three. The son was surprised to find that the bracelet in his mother's hand was missing, so he asked him where the bracelet had gone. Mother smiled and took out a blue cloth bag and said, "Mother exchanged this bracelet for two" gobbledygook "for you. This time, my baby is expected to go to college! " Looking at his mother's smiling face, his son was surprised. How can he be guaranteed to be admitted to the university? There are so many liars in society that you won't be cheated, will you? I took the cloth and opened it layer by layer. Sure enough, those two so-called "heavenly books" are just two primary school textbooks. My son is anxious and ready to tell the truth, hoping to find a liar to recover his losses. But when he saw his mother's wrinkled face and hopeful eyes, his son gave up. He really can't bear to tell his mother this cruel fact. A weak mother can't stand such a fatal blow! So he smiled and said to his mother, "mom, go home, I wrote it down!" Be sure to take a good test! " Looking at the thin back of his mother's gradual departure, his son cried and cried very sadly. After coming back, my son put this loving "heavenly book" in the most conspicuous position and let it inspire himself. After half a year's college entrance examination, my son achieved unprecedented success. He was admitted to a key university in Beijing. Since then, he has embarked on the right track of life.

Love is actually around us. We don't lack love, what we lack is only the eyes that find love. Every morning when I open my eyes, I'm glad I'm alive today. How wonderful it is to be alive. There are so many disasters and misfortunes in the world every day, but none of them fall on my head. I live happily. What is happiness? Thinking of so many refugees in Africa, I suddenly realized that eating well is actually a kind of happiness. Compared with congenital disability or mental retardation, parents give us sound limbs and smart brains, which is also a kind of happiness. Those born with disabilities do not complain about the cruelty and injustice of God, but are still struggling for better survival. Then, with sound limbs and smart brains, what reason do we have to complain? I remember when I was in middle school, the war between the United States and Iraq broke out and bombed Yugoslavia. I feel lucky to watch the ever-changing war situation on TV news every day. Fortunately, I am in a strong China, not Iraq or Yugoslavia. Our country guarantees that my life and property will not be violated by foreign enemies. I don't have to watch out for missile attacks all day. When I meet the people's police on the road, I feel particularly cordial, because they have made efforts to maintain the stability and tranquility of the whole society, so that I don't have to worry about the wanton infringement of gangsters. Work hard, classmates, for the prosperity of our country and the health and well-being of our mother, work hard! I believe that as long as we can do our best, even if we can't succeed, we have no regrets!
