编者按：如果你平时因为想跟家人表达自己的爱意而感到害羞的话，请一定要在今天向他们说出我爱你，因为今天是感恩节。
Good evening, ladies
and gentlemen, honorable judges and distinguished guest! This is
Alex time! Ha-ha...My topic today is to show our gratitude to people
around you.
Then what is
gratitude? At the moment a well-known song comes into my mind. Yes,
that is called Heart of feel grateful. My heart is filled up with
gratitude because I'm with you/Your make me courageous to be myself
from cradle to the grave/So now I wanna thank for destiny/I'll
cherish the flower when it blooms until falls. The poetic lyric
tells us that gratitude is actually a state of mind.
Once upon a time, the
Pilgrims took the May Flower Ship to North America. They started a
new life there although a lot of difficulties and hardships they
encountered. After a long-time work, they got a big harvest. The
Pilgrims had a feast in 1621 near Plymouth, Massachusetts, which is
often referred to as the first Thanksgiving. People show their
sincere gratitude towards the God, the nature, the earth, the
river, the Indians and themselves. Moreover the 1621 feast has
become a model for the Thanksgiving celebration in the United
States. So we can see gratitude is an action to take.
How can we express
our gratitude? It's never a simple question to answer. Gratitude is
a rare jewel, not a piece of cake, I know. But how can we expect
such big events happening now and then? How can we be ready to say
thank you ahead of time? How can we always hope to be grateful to
everything and everyone for their dignity and generosity? Sometimes
I may ask to myself. Is it moral? Is it honest? Is it beneficial?
Is it necessary? Or the most interesting one, is it ridiculous?
Ha-ha...So in my opinion, we'd better concentrate on our life's
details. Keep your eyes open to your daily life. Yes! A shining
smile is supposed to be gratitude. A thank-you note is supposed to
be gratitude. A soulful watch is supposed to be gratitude. As far
as a baby's crying on his arrival is supposed to be gratitude. And
even fallen leaves in autumn are supposed to be gratitude. So the
person, who stands here giving you a speech, is also showing HIS
gratitude.
At last, what's the
significance of showing our gratitude? A proverb says that
Gratitude is the sign of noble souls. Wow! Until now I am not that
kind of giant, but I dare to say that everyone, you and me, has the
right and the duty to show our gratitude to the world, no matter
rich or poor, happy or sad, young or old. Only by doing so can we
achieve our human ultimate concern. Meanwhile it obviously helps to
build up a harmonious society. Under the same sky we enjoy the same
sunshine and appreciate the same love due to thanking and caring
each other. Well, does it Plato's paradise?
All in all, a world
full of gratitude is preciously expected for thousands of years.
Why not show our gratitude to people around you?
Thank you very
much!
