Let's have an open and sunny life.

Today, I am very happy and honored to have such an opportunity to communicate and discuss with you. In this vibrant and energetic early autumn season, seeing your youthful faces, I can't help but think of Mao Zedong's famous "Qinyuanchun" Changsha: "Just a classmate and teenager, in full bloom, the scholar is in high spirits and scolds Fang Qiu". The high-spirited era is enviable, arousing youthful vitality and understanding the philosophy of life. Here, I want to communicate with my classmates around "three sentences and six words", namely "gratitude, responsibility and awe", hoping to bring them.

First: always be grateful and perceive the world with gratitude.

Before talking about this topic, I want to ask a very common question to the students here: Do you say "thank you" to your parents when you eat their breakfast every morning? Did you say "thank you" to your friends when you received a beautiful gift from them on your birthday? When you are enjoying the delicious food brought by the waiter in the restaurant, do you want to say "thank you" in the aisle? When you get a seat on a crowded bus, do you want to say "thank you" in the aisle ... I wonder if the students are aware of these questions and how they will answer them. Yes, the word "thank you" is simple, common and easy, but few of us can really understand the special meaning conveyed by these two words, and we have done it.

In fact, the connotation of "thank you" is moved, grateful and grateful. It shows a way of gratitude, expresses a feeling of gratitude and reveals a feeling of gratitude. Saying "thank you" means being grateful. Gratitude is the reward to others, the gratitude to others for helping themselves, and the appreciation to others. It is the most optimistic, open-minded and sunny life attitude and philosophy. Former American President Roosevelt's house was stolen once and many things were lost. A friend was busy writing letters to comfort him after hearing the news. Unexpectedly, Roosevelt wrote back to his friend. He said, "Dear friend, thank you for your letter to comfort me. I am safe now. Thank God: First, the thief stole my things, but it didn't hurt me. " Second, the thief only stole some of my things, not all of them; Third, fortunately, the thief was him, not me. "For anyone, stealing is absolutely unfortunate, but Roosevelt found three reasons to be grateful, from which we can learn a truth: gratitude is boundless!

Gratitude is a simple and noble emotion, an indelible conscience, a quality deeply hidden in the heart, and a label of kind humanity! Gratitude is a kind of life wisdom, a heartfelt word and a grateful heart! Gratitude is a traditional virtue handed down from generation to generation by our nation. The old adage of "drinking water from the source" is well known, and the truth that "the grace of dripping water is rewarded by the spring" is also well known throughout the ages. The sea thanks the stream, it becomes wide; Only by thanking the birds can the sky become magnificent. We are grateful for the fragrance of lush trees and flowers. We are grateful for the caress of the breeze and the moisture of the rain; We are grateful for the greatness of life and the beauty of life; We are grateful for the kindness of our father and mother; We thank our teachers for their teaching and friends for their help. With a grateful heart, this society will be more tolerant and understanding, and less accused and estranged. More harmony and warmth, less dispute and indifference; More modesty and contentment, less pride and indulgence; More dull and calm, less impetuous and noisy.

Dear students here, you grew up in the new era of reform and opening up and the prosperity of the country, and you are in the golden stage of life development and personality cultivation. In particular, we should have a grateful heart and feelings, know how to be grateful, learn to be grateful, always be grateful, perceive the world, experience society, treat others, learn, live and grow with gratitude. But recently, some media reported that poor college students in Hubei were disqualified because of ingratitude, which deserves our deep thought. Last August, Xiangfan City Federation of Trade Unions and the Association of Women Entrepreneurs jointly launched the "Golden Autumn Education" activity, 19 women entrepreneurs and 22 poor college students formed a helping pair. Before entering the school, the Municipal Federation of Trade Unions sent a letter to each aided college student and his parents. I hope they can take the time to write to the donors and report on their study and life. However, over the past year or so, two-thirds of donors have not written to donors. One student did write a short message, but the letter didn't even say "thank you" except begging and hope, which made the donor feel very unhappy. As a result, five people were abandoned by donors.

Students, it is human nature to repay kindness with kindness; Ungrateful, god forbid. Here, I will tell you a story about Huang Ke, a little boy in Hunan, and feel the gratitude journey of a sentimental boy. Huang Ge, a native of Yueyang, Hunan Province, was diagnosed with congenital progressive muscular dystrophy at the age of 7, which is a terminal disease that modern medicine can't overcome. Moreover, with the increase of age, his condition will become more and more serious, and eventually his heart will stop beating due to the complete loss of muscle motor function. The life span of patients is generally not more than 18 years old. After Huang Ge's illness was reported by the media, it aroused sympathy and concern from all walks of life and received more than 500 donations from all over the country. In 2003, Huang Ge made a "last request" to his father: to meet the good man behind the money order. From then on, the father and son rode three-wheeled motorcycles, overcoming many hardships that ordinary people could not imagine. Began a journey to find a benefactor. Their behavior touched countless people. People brought mineral water, instant noodles and daily necessities along the way. Many hotels waive their accommodation fees. When they were in Yueyang, a kind-hearted person also helped them change a new tricycle. Every time they find a benefactor and thank him, they make him cry. Huang Ge said, "Some people asked me why I was so persistent. It's hard to get my father involved. I don't know, but I have a strong feeling in my heart. I feel very grateful to them and should thank them. " "We can't repay them with the grace of dripping water, but the kindness given by the benefactor will make me never give up. In this grateful journey, I never feel lonely. " In recent years, they have walked through dozens of cities across the country with gratitude, with a journey of more than 13 thousand kilometers to 30 thousand meters. He has no slogans or grandiloquence. He only has a very common wish, that is, to say "thank you" to those who have helped him. Students, a person who is about to end his life, can still take gratitude as his greatest wish, but what kind of thinking, choice and action should we have in the face of Huang Ke?

Students, from birth to adulthood, from school to society, we are always wrapped in a network full of goodwill. Parents have the kindness to raise us, teachers have the kindness to educate us, classmates have the kindness to help us, society has the kindness to love us, the army has the kindness to defend us, and the motherland has the kindness to love us. Therefore, we have a lot to be grateful for and a lot of people to be grateful for. The love of parents gives us life and creates our life; Parents' love is a safe haven when we are frustrated and a gas station in life; Parents' love is the rain and dew that protects our growth and the sail that inspires us to forge ahead. When we learn a language, it is our parents who take pains to teach us to say the first sentence. When we are toddlers, it is our parents who can hold our little hands tightly; When we are in trouble, it is our parents who can give everything to help us; When we are wronged, it is our parents who can patiently listen to our crying; When we make mistakes, it is our parents who can forgive us without hesitation; When we succeed, it is our parents who will sincerely celebrate for us and share our joy. Therefore, it is our bounden duty to repay, thank and honor our parents.

Filial piety of all virtues comes first, and filial piety comes first. Filial piety has been the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation since ancient times. The Analects of Confucius said: "Filial piety is also the foundation of benevolence." It means filial piety to parents and love to brothers, which is the basis of all morality. The San Zi Jing says: "Filial piety is the first, but seeing is the second." It means that a person should first know how to be filial to his parents, respect his elders and be considerate. Not long ago, the media reported a short story: a second-grade elementary school student connected a 25-gram brick when doing a math connection problem, and wrote a sentence after the problem: My father is a porter and earns money by moving bricks every day. If each brick weighs only 25 grams, then his father wouldn't have to work so hard. When the teacher corrects the test paper.

Students, when you celebrate your own birthday, have you ever paid attention to your parents' birthdays? Did you send a special gift and sincere wishes for your parents' birthday? As the saying goes, children run for life and mothers run for death. Do you know that your birthday is mother's disaster day? The physical strength consumed by a mother in giving birth to a child is like climbing the top of Mount Tai step by step with a weight three times her own weight. How cruel and painful it is. On Mother's Day this year, there was an 8-minute live broadcast of maternal delivery in the downtown street of Changsha City, Hunan Province. This hard scene shocked everyone who stopped to watch. How can we not appreciate our mother's life and death test for our life? Students, when you are studying in the modern multimedia classroom, when you are sitting in front of the computer enjoying the internet storm, when you are enjoying the relaxed fashion brought by mobile phones and MP3 players, have you ever thought about how many parents are working hard day and night, how many parents are suffering and suffering, and how many parents are bleeding and sweating to have a superior learning environment and a comfortable living environment?

There are also many touching stories among peers. Here, I want to tell my classmates three true stories to understand what "great filial piety is silent, great love is silent, and great virtue is traceless". The first story is the story of Liu Ting, a student of Zhejiang Forestry College. Liu Ting is a college student in Zhejiang Forestry College. He has a happy family: his father is a worker and his mother is a tailor. He has achieved excellent results since childhood. In order to treat his mother, his family not only exhausted all their savings, but also sold the house. His overwhelmed father also ran away from home, and the happy family of three collapsed instantly. Liu Ting can only live alone with her mother and study hard while taking care of her. In 2006, Liu Ting was admitted to Zhejiang Forestry College with the score of college entrance examination exceeding the key line. In order to go to school and take care of his mother, he had to go to college behind her back. 50 yuan, part-time job in school, living a hard life every month. The story of Liu Ting going to school behind his mother's back spread like wildfire in the society, which aroused strong repercussions in the whole country after being reported by the media. She has been awarded the titles of "Top Ten Filial Piety Models in China", "Top Ten Filial Piety Stars in China in 2006" and "Top Ten Proud People in Zhejiang in 2006". The second story is Cao Yu, a student of Shiyong Middle School in Linshui County, Sichuan Province. She lives in Ercun, Jingping Township, Linshui County. In 2006, her father, who was working in Fujian, suddenly suffered from uremia, and his life was dying, so he needed a kidney transplant in time. In the face of family difficulties, she was very filial and decided to cut her kidney to save her father with great courage. But her idea was opposed by her parents, relatives and doctors. But Cao Yu knelt down and begged his father's persistent truth, and got his father's nod. Before the operation, the doctor told Cao Yu. Cao Yu did not hesitate to sign his name on the operation list and bravely donated his kidney to his father, thus saving his life. Soon after, her mother left her and her father in tears to work in Fujian, and the burden of taking care of her father fell on Cao Yu alone. She took her father to school and put him in a small room of 10 square meter provided by the teacher for free. In addition to completing the heavy study tasks, she also takes care of her recovering father, buys food, cooks and washes clothes, and leads a hard and tenacious life. After the story of Cao Yu's sending her father to school to save his father's kidney came out, it aroused great concern from all walks of life, and she was also nominated as "National Moral Model in 2007". The third story is the story of Xing Tao, a middle school student in Yueyang County, Hunan Province. Xing Tao was a student in Yueyang No.3 Middle School in 2004, with only 65,438+. My father who suffered from gastric cancer died, and my sister went out to work, leaving a mother who was born deaf, dumb, demented and suffering from epilepsy to live with him. In order to take care of her while studying, he took her to school and rented a basement in 60 yuan every month near the school. His mother has frequent seizures, foaming at the mouth and unconscious. I have been sleeping in the same bed with my mother because I am worried that she will be ill at night. He grasped his mother's leg tightly with both hands. If he found anything unusual, he got up and held her tightly in his arms until she calmed down and took the medicine. Because the family's financial situation is very difficult, he and his mother have a very difficult life. He eats cabbage and peppers most of the year, and his rubber shoes are mended again and again until they can't be worn. Xing Tao spent 65438 yuan on a new pair of shoes. Xing Tao carved them on the wall of his house. Arrive at school at 6 o'clock to attend early self-study; Go home at 7 o'clock to make breakfast, help my mother dress, wash her face, brush her teeth and feed her; Go home at noon to cook and feed mom; /kloc-go home to cook at 0/7: 30, feed, bathe and take medicine for my mother; 19 self-study; I went to bed at 22: 30. Two years ago, Xing Tao was admitted to high school with the first place in the whole school, and will be admitted to university next year. Someone asked Xing Tao, "If you go to college, how will you take care of your mother?" He replied firmly, "if I can go to college, I will still go to college behind my mother's back." Even if I am a garbage collector, I will let my mother live every day. "

They are all young people in their late teens, and they are all dreaming. However, their deeds made each of us burst into tears. Students, let's reflect. When our family is in trouble, can we shoulder the heavy burden with immature shoulders like them? When our parents are seriously ill and need to be taken care of, can we repay their kindness with filial piety like them? When we are faced with the dual pressures of study and family, can we make earth-shattering choices like them?

As the saying goes, the most selfless love in the world is the love of parents for their children. Parents love their children without spending money or asking for anything in return. Their only wish is to let their children grow up healthily, get married and make contributions to society.

Grateful parents, as a contemporary middle school, it doesn't matter if you don't have economic ability and material conditions. The important thing is to repay your parents' kindness in every little thing in your mind. I think as a student, you can at least do the following three things: first, communicate with your parents more, take the initiative to talk to them, talk to them about their troubles, share happy things with them, and let them feel and care about them. The second is to help parents solve problems, take the initiative to help parents do some housework within their power, rub shoulders, beat their backs and wash their feet for parents who are tired of work, and relieve their mental and physical stress; Third, keep in touch with parents. Remember to send a blessing on your parents' birthdays, say hello to your parents when they are on a business trip, send a few thoughtful words to your parents when they are sad and frustrated, and write more letters and make a few phone calls to your parents when they are studying and working abroad, so that parents can realize our concern and true love for them.

Of course, in addition to thanking our parents, we should also thank our teachers, our classmates, the society, all the things that moved us, and all that we have done.

Second: don't forget the responsibility and grow up in responsibility.

"Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world", which is an old saying passed down by our Chinese nation for thousands of years and a true portrayal of our Chinese sons and daughters' strong sense of historical responsibility and mission. So, what is responsibility? The simplest explanation of the so-called responsibility is to do what you should do. Former American President Lincoln said: Everyone should have such self-confidence, and I will be able to bear the responsibility that one person can bear; I can take responsibility that others cannot. British writer Victor? Frank said: Responsibility is the most important essence of human existence. Roland said more directly: The first rule of all responsibilities is not to be a coward. Responsibility is a noble moral quality and a lofty spiritual realm. Responsibility is an inspiring force and a courageous mission. Sun Yat-sen's "revolution has not been successful, comrades still need to work hard" is a responsibility, Mao Zedong's "more sacrifice, dare to call the sun and the moon for a new day" is a responsibility, Lei Feng's "integrating limited life into infinite service for the people" is a responsibility, and Comrade Deng Xiaoping's "I am the son of China people, and I am.

Students, since the day we were born, each of us has lived in a complicated social relationship, and inevitably there is such a responsible relationship with others, the collective and the society. Therefore, no matter what we do, no matter what career we are engaged in, no matter what environment we are in, we must engrave the word responsibility in our hearts and regard responsibility as the value pursuit and personality coordinate of our life. We should always think about our responsibilities to ourselves, others and society. This high sense of responsibility is the basic point of our life, and this strong sense of responsibility is the basis of our work. In this world, everyone plays different roles and shoulders different responsibilities. The responsibility of officials is to serve the people, the responsibility of teachers is to teach and educate people, the responsibility of doctors is to heal the wounded and rescue the dying, and the responsibility of soldiers is to protect the country and defend the country. The responsibility of students is to study hard. People can't lose their sense of responsibility, otherwise the burden of life can't be picked up, they can't move forward, and their hopes are dim. Long Yongtu, the chief negotiator of China's entry into WTO, once told a story: once, he heard the sound of water in a public toilet abroad. He didn't know what happened, so he went to have a look. I saw a teenage boy struggling to repair the faucet there. The boy said: "although this faucet is public, since it is broken, I, as a user, have the responsibility to repair it." "I have a responsibility." Although the boy's words are simple, they reflect a strong sense of social responsibility.

The core of responsibility is to dare to take responsibility and take responsibility. As a contemporary middle school student, it is especially necessary to establish a responsible concept, cultivate a responsible spirit, temper a responsible style, be responsible for what you do, what you say and do, your future and destiny, and be an upright person. A responsible person dares to do it even if he is wrong. Even if you are wrong, you are brave enough to be responsible; Even if the pressure is great, we must dare to bear it; Even if there are more difficulties, we dare to face them. Only in this way can we turn stress into motivation and treat suffering as a discipline. Only in this way can we get out of hopeless hope and find a way out from no way out.

Then, as contemporary middle school students, what is our responsibility and where is our sense of responsibility? I think, no matter what age and place, learning is always the first responsibility of students, knowledge is always the first goal of students, and enterprising is always the first pursuit of students. Students take learning as their "life", which can be understood as life, and learning is their life; It can also be understood as life, and learning is the life of students. For students, not studying hard, not studying hard, is dereliction of duty and irresponsible performance. There are great differences in learning ability, high or low academic performance and good or bad learning environment, but there is no difference in learning responsibility. The requirements for each student are the same, and the standards for each student are the same. Now some let parents do this and that, some let teachers do this and that, and some let friends do this and that, but they don't ask themselves, but they don't understand their responsibilities. How wrong this is. Students must understand that learning is not only the hope of parents and the requirement of teachers, but also the basic responsibility of a student. No matter what you are doing now or what you want to do in the future, if you lack a minimum sense of responsibility, you will eventually achieve nothing.

At this point, some students may ask: Do we do nothing but study? This is a good question and another topic about responsibility that I want to communicate with you, that is, social responsibility. What is social responsibility? Simply put, the sense of social responsibility is the ethical care and obligation to others that a person feels in a specific society, and it is the embodiment of a person's sense of social responsibility. For a citizen, practicing social responsibility means being willing to make sacrifices for others. Students, with the development of economy and society and the progress of science and technology, the learning environment, living environment and social environment in which we live are undergoing profound changes. In the past, it was impossible to "study hard in a cold window for ten years without smelling anything outside the window", and the era of reading classics in an ivory tower has long since left us. The trend of the times has pushed our contemporary middle school students to a more complicated social system and a more changeable interpersonal environment. Family affairs, state affairs and what's going on in the world are inevitable, and it is the general trend to pay attention to, contact and integrate into society. Since we live in a mobile and open social environment, we have the responsibility and obligation to do something for this society. Even if we don't have the conditions and ability now, we should at least have a sense of responsibility to pay for others and contribute to society. I believe many students here know the story of "Ambassador of Love" Cong Fei. Cong Fei is an excellent young singer. Thanks to his tenacious efforts, he achieved good results. Since1August, 1994, he was invited to participate in a benefit performance for out-of-school children held in Chongqing. 1 1 year, he has invested all his money in charitable support. 10 for more than 20 years, it has held benefit performances in poor mountainous areas such as Guizhou, Hunan and Sichuan. Volunteering for more than 6,000 hours, selflessly donating out-of-school children and disabled people 146, adopting 37 orphans, and the donation amount exceeded 3 million yuan. In April, 2006, Cong Fei died of stomach cancer, but he resolutely took out 20,000 yuan donated by everyone for his treatment, and came to the poor mountainous area of zhijin county, Guizhou Province in the late stage of his illness, and put forward the request of donating corneas behind him, thus completing his last scene as a "good man Cong Fei". It was really touching. What he did awakened many people's yearning for good feelings, aroused people's love and strength for kindness, made the best interpretation of "social responsibility" and gave the best answer to what "dedication" is.

"Students, get up and shoulder the rise and fall of the nation ... We are fragrant today, and tomorrow is the pillar of the country." This "Graduation Song", which was widely sung by countless young people during the Anti-Japanese War, has made people excited and heroic. As contemporary middle school students, we may never experience the special era of national survival again, but we should have the same sense of responsibility as the enthusiastic young people of that era and regard contributing to society as our life creed and value. Maybe now we can't make a righteous act like Cong Fei, but we can't live without Cong Fei's responsibility, ambition and feelings; Maybe we can't achieve an earth-shattering event, but we should also be able to start from small things, do our bit and do our part for the society. As the song "Dedication of Love" sings: As long as everyone gives a little love, the world will become a beautiful world. Thank you!
