Be Grateful to Life英文演講稿

Once President Roosevelt’s house was broken into and lots of things were stolen. Hearing this, one of Roosevelt’s friends wrote to him and advised him not to take it to his heart so much. President Roosevelt wrote back immediately, saying:“Dear friend, thank you for your letter to comfort me, I am all right now. I think I should thank God. This is because of the following three reasons: firstly, the thief only stole things from me but did not hurt me at all; secondly, the thief has stolen some of my things instead of all my things; thirdly, most luckily for me, it was the man rather than me who became a thief.”

It is certainly unlucky for anyone to be stolen from. However, President Roosevelt had three reasons to be grateful. This story tells us we should learn to be grateful in our life. There is a sentence from Mahatma Gandhi:“Live as you were to die tomorrow, learn as you were to live forever. ” Great people are always showing their love to the world, just as Gandhi, Mother Teresa, Norman Bethune and so on. How about us?

You can not do everything, but still you can do something. So, be grateful to your life, all the people and things in your life.

Be grateful to the nature, for the fresh air you breathe, the clean water you drink, the beautiful flower you smell.

Be grateful to your parents, for they gave birth to you and taught you right from wrong.

Be grateful to your teachers, for they let you understand “what”,“how”and“why” with great patience.

Be grateful to your friends, for you have known each other since you were 9 or 10 and faced the difficulties together for so many years.

Be grateful to your lover, for he/she gave you love and helped you find the sun every time you were down.

Mother Teresa once said:“People really need help, but may attack you if you help them. Help people anyway; Give the world the best you have and you may get kicked in the teeth. Give the world the best you have anyway.” At last I want to say: being grateful can bring us a better and more beautiful life. Why don’t we have a try?let,s get it started!
