On the campus lake in the early morning, the breeze is light and sparkling. Xiao Xunlong sat alone on a bench by the lake, lost in thought. He is a graduating college student, facing a new starting point in life, and his heart is full of expectations and confusion for the future.
Xiao Xunlong was born in an ordinary rural family, and his parents worked hard and paid silently in order to provide for him to go to college. He is well aware of the hardships and difficulties of his parents, so he always studies hard, hoping to repay their nurturing grace with excellent results.
During his time at university, he met many people who gave him help and support. There are teachers who teach him carefully, classmates who accompany him through difficulties, and seniors who guide him when he is confused. The help of these people made him feel the warmth and kindness of the world.
However, as graduation approached, Xiao Xunlong found that more and more people around him seemed to have forgotten their gratitude. They enjoy what others have to offer without ever thinking about giving it back, and they complain about the unfairness of life without realizing their luck.
Xiao Xunlong couldn't help but fall into deep thought. He remembered that when he was a child, his parents would take him to work in the fields every harvest season, so that he understood that every grain of grain was not easy to come by. They told him to know how to be grateful for the gifts of nature and to know how to cherish every contribution.
However, today's society seems to be becoming more and more impetuous, and people pursue material satisfaction, but ignore the nourishment of the soul. They are so busy running around that they forget to stop and feel the beauty of life, and they enjoy what others have to give but they forget to give back.
Xiao Xunlong knows that gratitude is not only an emotional expression, but also an attitude towards life. Only those who know how to be grateful can truly appreciate the happiness and beauty of life. He decided to use his actions to practice the concept of gratitude and influence the people around him.
As a result, Xiao Xunlong began to actively participate in various volunteer service activities, using his own strength to help those in need. He helped the younger students to solve their learning puzzles, accompanied the lonely elderly to spend lonely times, and also participated in campus environmental protection activities to contribute to the protection of the environment.
In the process, Xiao Xunlong felt happiness and satisfaction that he had never felt before. He saw the warmth and change that his efforts brought to others, and he also saw that more and more people around him began to know how to be grateful and learn to reciprocate.
On the day of the graduation ceremony, Xiao Xunlong stood on the stage and delivered a speech entitled "Be a Grateful Person". He used his own experience and insights to tell everyone present: gratitude is a kind of strength, which can make us cherish life more and care for others more, and gratitude is a kind of wisdom, which can make us find inner peace and balance in our busy life.
After the speech, there was thunderous applause. Xiao Xunlong knew that his words touched the deep emotions of many people's hearts. He believes that as long as everyone can know how to be grateful and learn to reciprocate, the world will definitely become a better place.
In the early morning, the breeze is still sparkling on the shore of the campus lake. Xiao Xunlong stood on the bench and looked into the distance. He knows that there is still a long way to go in life, but he has found a way forward. He wants to use his actions to practice the concept of gratitude and influence more people.
Being a grateful person is not an easy task. It requires us to feel the bits and pieces of life with our hearts and cherish every contribution and harvest. But as long as we are willing to try and work hard, we will definitely be able to become a person who truly knows how to be grateful. Because in this world, there is nothing more precious than a grateful heart.
The story is over, but the journey of the turbid dragon continues. With a grateful heart, he embarked on a new journey in life. And we, like him, should learn to be grateful, know how to reciprocate, and make our lives better and more meaningful.
