China is an ancient civilization with a history of five thousand years. The Chinese nation has always been a country of civilization and etiquette that is gentle, generous, courageous, humble and courteous. The gestures, voices, smiles and looks of Chinese children all reflect a person's temperament and quality. Xunzi said: "If you don't learn etiquette, you can't stand up. If people are rude, there will be no life. If you are rude, you won't succeed. If you are rude, the country will be restless." Civilization and etiquette are the foundation of our study and life, and the arms for our healthy growth. Mr. Tao Xingzhi, a Chinese educator, has a famous saying: "Thousands of teachings teach people to seek truth, and thousands of studies teach them to be real people." What this means is that teachers must first educate students to be sincere people, and students' learning also We should first learn to be a human being, learn to be a civilized person, and learn to be a member of society. Only in this way can we truly be "patriotic and law-abiding, courteous and honest, united and friendly, diligent, thrifty, self-reliant, and dedicated." However, in real life, we all unfortunately find that in today's highly developed material civilization, there are some problems with the civilized quality of our citizens. Xinhua News Agency reported a news on October 7: On the second day of the National Day Golden Week, more than 80 Korean tourists, including more than 30 children, appeared in the Nanshan tourist area of ????Urumqi, Xinjiang, collecting rubbish. When these guests from afar saw garbage everywhere in the scenic spot, they spontaneously organized to clean up the garbage. In just 20 minutes, the garbage covering a radius of nearly 1 kilometer was cleaned up. After driving five cardboard boxes full of garbage to the garbage station, the Korean tourists continued to play with peace of mind. Yoo In-kyu, a Korean tourist who participated in the collective garbage pick-up, said: "The wilderness should be a pure land, but what is surprising is that there is a lot of garbage in such a beautiful place." This is not the first time that foreigners come to us to pick up garbage: Foreigners have been seen picking up rubbish on our city streets, gardens and scenic spots, and on the Great Wall. They may be one person, several people or even dozens of people, acting as "volunteers" for our environmental protection. However, it has become natural for our Chinese people to litter, so even when traveling to other places, we still follow this bad habit. Not long ago, Hong Kong Disneyland opened. On the first day, mainland tourists smoked unscrupulously in the non-smoking area of ??the park, lay down on seats, spitted indiscriminately, and cut in line at will. All kinds of bad habits left a discordant note to Disneyland. . Another example is when traveling abroad. Chinese tourists make loud noises, do not line up, do not abide by public order, and do not have good hygiene habits. Bad habits that are already commonplace in China are more vividly highlighted in the contrast of foreign backgrounds. As Chinese people, while we express respect for the behavior of foreign guests picking up garbage, we should also feel ashamed of our own behavior. China has beautiful scenery that we are proud of, and it is also known as the "Land of Etiquette". However, the beautiful scenery is still there today, but the beautiful etiquette has been almost completely discarded by some Chinese people. Let’s look at our children again. The only child who grew up under superior material living conditions also has many uncivilized words and deeds in terms of civilized etiquette: in the family, the elders emphasize intellectual learning over moral education, thinking that children only need to study well, and ignore The education of children in civilized etiquette has led to them being indifferent and selfish towards their families, being self-centered, not communicating with their parents, not understanding their parents' hard work, not cherishing their parents' money, not sharing the family's labor, and blindly asking for things without giving. In school, they do not follow the teacher's instructions, say some fashionable swear words, wear some strange clothes, and have fashionable hairstyles; they do not know how to study seriously, make loud noises on campus, and litter. These behaviors directly affect the healthy growth of students and the image of the school. Confucius said, "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you." Civilized etiquette always reminds us that there are others around us, and our behaviors will affect each other. A modern, civilized and harmonious interpersonal relationship should be established between people! In fact, it is not very difficult to become a young person in the era of "being civilized and establishing new trends". As long as we start from around us and start from small things, we can develop good behavioral habits. Do you still remember a public service announcement from CCTV? A young man who was doing morning exercises, while running to exercise, helped a child take down a basketball that was accidentally thrown on a tree. He also threw the garbage on the roadside into the trash can. He also helped an old man who was struggling to push a tricycle uphill. I ran all the way in the morning, did good things all the way, made others happy and satisfied myself. Also, on October 25, the results of the first "China's Top Ten Outstanding Nongovernmental Environmental Protection Figures" organized by Xinhuanet and other units were announced. There is a very special girl among the chosen ones. She is "special" because she is the youngest among the candidates, only 15 years old this year; she is "special" because she is a girl with only two fingers; she is special because she uses her only Two little fingers, in the five years from the age of 10 to 15, used their spare time to pick up more than 6,000 used batteries. She is Pannawei, a middle school student in Yingkou. She won the title of the only "Top Ten" for Liaoning with her sincere environmental protection behavior. There is also the giant American automobile company, Ford. Its president, Ford, applied for a job at an automobile company after graduating from university. The three or four people he applied for were all more educated than him. After the first few interviews, he felt he had no hope. But once it comes, let’s make peace with it. He knocked on the door and walked into the chairman's office. As soon as he entered, he found a piece of waste paper on the ground, so he bent down, picked it up, and threw it into the wastebasket.
Then he walked to the chairman’s desk and said, “I’m here to apply for a job at Ford.
The chairman said: "Very good, very good!" Mr. Ford
