Hello everyone! The topic of my speech today is "Develop the habit of being polite and strive to be a small model of society".
You may see some strong young people sitting in the old, weak and sick seats of the bus; Maybe you will hear how two fashionable girls who talk loudly make a "fuck" sound happily; Maybe someone will bump into you and leave without saying hello. Whenever you see all this, you will feel how disproportionate it is to the development of our material civilization! However, at present, there are still some people in society who are not ashamed of these uncivilized and impolite behaviors. They defend them by saying that trivial matters are not worth mentioning. Is this really a trivial matter? We want to shout to people who have this idea: "You are wrong! At this rate, where is civilization? What about politeness? "
Our great motherland is known as the "state of etiquette" in the world, and our Chinese nation has always attached importance to civility and politeness. In the long history of thousands of years, the stories of how many celebrities treated others with courtesy have been widely told. The story of "being a four-year-old can be a pear" is well known to all women and children. Mao Zedong is one of the most influential figures in the last century. He has developed the virtue of being polite to his elders since childhood. Later when he became president, he was still polite to others. 1959, Chairman Mao returned to Shaoshan and specially invited the elderly of relatives and friends to dinner. Chairman Mao toasted the old people, and the old people said, "Chairman, how dare you toast!" Chairman Mao replied: "It is right to respect the elderly and the virtuous!" This shows how important politeness is.
It is no exaggeration to say that the most important thing in life is civility and politeness, which is more important than the highest wisdom and all knowledge. We live together in a big socialist family, and being polite is a compulsory course for every teenager. Therefore, we must form a good habit of politeness.
What habits should we develop in order to be a civilized and polite social model? For example, if you accidentally step on someone else's foot on the bus, please say "I'm sorry" first; When someone does something for you, say "thank you" to others; Greet teachers warmly inside and outside the school. When eating, you should choose the most comfortable seat from the website of the secretary's voice. You can directly search the website of the old secretary partner in Baidu, and so on. These are the minimum requirements of politeness. With these habits, you have the basic qualities of a civilized person. But these habits are not innate and need to be gradually developed.
So how can we form the habit of speaking politely? First of all, we should pay attention to our own moral cultivation. Whether a person's thoughts and actions are beneficial or harmful to others and society needs a standard to measure. We usually refer to this standard as morality that measures and guides people's thoughts and behaviors. Politeness and morality are mutual. Politeness is the coat of morality, and morality is the connotation of politeness. Therefore, we should recognize what we should do and what we shouldn't do, so as to regulate our behavior. Secondly, take some effective measures to cultivate habits. For example, in our daily life, we often see people trampling on the grass in parks and green belts, which read "Don't trample on the grass" and "Please be merciful". Some people remind them by arranging notices, which seems to be ineffective. They don't necessarily violate these notices on purpose. Therefore, when they don't form good habits, it is necessary to take some compulsory measures.
Students, we are the main force in building the motherland in the 2 1 century, shouldering the important mission of creating material civilization and the sacred duty of creating spiritual civilization. Let's start from the side, be a civilized person, keep in mind civilization and courtesy, and strive to be a small model of society!
