Walking into us, perhaps such a situation is commonplace: wearing Adi, riding Nike and carrying a mobile phone PHS, some students spend more than their parents a month; Birthday parties, treat people to eat and drink, and don't feel bad with the hard-earned money of parents; In the trash can, you can see the food discarded by the students before they finish eating; The phenomenon of ever-burning lamps and ever-flowing water is also everywhere. ...
Compared with the concept of building a conservation-oriented society, I thought of the honor and disgrace barrier of "being proud of hard work" put forward by Grandpa Hu Jintao. Shouldn't these phenomena cause us to think deeply?
Thrift is a major event related to human survival, and some students may say it is alarmist. But this is an indisputable fact. As far as energy is concerned, coal and oil stored underground can only be used by us for less than 100 years; What about forest resources? Mankind's uncontrolled logging has sounded the alarm for human survival. China's economic resources, except labor resources, are scarce. Some resources are now close to exhaustion. Take water resources as an example. The Yellow River, the lifeblood of the North China Plain, has been cut off many times. If we don't save water, maybe before long, there will be only one dry river left in our mother river.
You must not hold the idea of "China is vast in territory and abundant in natural resources" and think that it doesn't matter to waste some. We must know that our country is not strong enough and our life is not rich enough, especially compared with developed countries, there is still a big gap.
Looking around the world, many developed countries are rich in resources and have a very rich life, but from the government, enterprises to every citizen, there is a strong sense of saving, and saving is a very common value concept. French "water-saving police" took to the streets; Germany adopts new technology to save water per person per day 10 liter; Car sales in Australia have quietly lagged behind bicycles ... frugality is actually a popular way of life in the world.
Nobel, known as the "father of explosives in the world", has assets of more than 65,438+1billion dollars, but his life is very frugal. Before he died, he made a will and set up the "Nobel Prize" with most of his property as a fund. And frugality is also a noble attitude towards life. On April 18, 2006, Bill Gates, the richest man in the world, welcomed a distinguished guest-Hu Jintao, president, China. At the welcome banquet, he only served the chairman three ordinary meals-the first dish was guinea fowl salad, the main course was steak, and the last dessert was cake. But it is these ordinary three courses that make us feel Gates' philosophy of eating and drinking and personality charm, and give us a vivid education lesson on the concept of honor and disgrace.
And some of our teenagers regard consumption as the whole source of their happiness, which is a deformed development of consumption concept. Consumption is not equal to happiness. Being a volunteer, being a volunteer, doing charity, and making money play a greater role are the real happiness.
Fortunately, Milan Information Company conducted a survey on more than 700 urban teenagers aged14-24 in eight cities including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Xi, Nanjing, Wuhan and Shenyang this year. The results show that 66.8% of teenagers believe that "even if economic conditions permit, they should develop the habit of thrift". In terms of personal consumption, 55.5% of teenagers think that "economic interests should be the premise". The data shows that most teenagers have not abandoned the good tradition of thrift.
"Look at the former sages and their families, they became thrifty and were defeated by luxury." Both history and reality show that it is difficult for a nation to stand on its own feet without the support of hard work and thrift. Without the support of hard work and thrift, it is difficult for a country to develop and progress. It is difficult for a political party to flourish without the support of hard work and thrift. Students, diligence and thrift are the calculation of family happiness and social obligations; Diligence and thrift are a vision and an attitude; Hard work, diligence and thrift is a kind of wisdom and a responsible practice for future generations! Let's be proud of our efforts and work together to save civilization!
