Thrift and diligence seem ordinary, but they can't be taken lightly. It is an indispensable virtue for us as contemporary high school students and a hormone for success. Because of this virtue, we can forget the gains and losses and study hard; Only people with this virtue can be ambitious, not depressed when things happen, and calm as usual when they are embarrassed; With this virtue, we can abandon luxury, concentrate on our studies, achieve something and make a difference.
Throughout ancient and modern times, there are many such examples. Zhuge Liang was appointed as the assistant to the slaughter in Shu, and he was in power for 27 years, "doing his best and dying"; Sima Guang, a generation of scribes, is famous for his four fields, but he "used clothes to keep out the cold and feed his hunger all his life" and had no extravagant demands for food and clothing. However, he has endless interest and enthusiasm for intensive learning. As a general, Fang Zhimin handled millions of dollars, but his property was a few rags. If a high school student can learn to be frugal, he will never try his best to decorate his life and take luxury and pleasure as the purpose of life. Instead, he must take frugality and simplicity as his moral standard and practice it. Don't you see: how many playboys did great things in ancient times? !
But what is worrying is that at present, China's economy is developing rapidly, people's lives are getting richer, and the vast majority of students are only children. At home, they are "Little Sun" and "Little Princess", and they are "loved by parents and loved by relatives and friends". Parents dare not hold their children in their mouths, but they dare not leave them in their hands. They like them so much that many students are in a responsive environment. I lost my precious quality-diligence and thrift, which led to the dependence psychology: relying on parents at home, relying on teachers at school, and relying on the country in society; Some only know how to take and eat ready-made meals; Some people are unwilling to study hard and blindly pursue material enjoyment-more than fun, more than dressing up, more than money, more than consumption.
Maybe some students will say, now that the conditions are good, what's the point of spending some money! Indeed, most of you live in wealthy families, and tens or hundreds of dollars is not a problem, but have you ever thought about how many out-of-school children in Shantou need help, how many people are still below the poverty line, and how many people are still facing the loess for food and clothing? Although China's economic aggregate ranks sixth in the world, its per capita income is only 1 ,000 US dollars, which is 1∕25 in the United States and 1∕ 18 in Japan. We can't forget the humiliating modern history of 150 years. The Chinese nation needs rejuvenation, and the rejuvenation of the nation cannot be separated from "thrift".
Mankind has not only created rich material wealth, but also created a magnificent spiritual world through hard work. It can be said that there is no civilization without hard work, and the world will always be a wasteland; Without frugality and simplicity, there would be no material accumulation today, no capital for building the country, let alone the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
As the saying goes, "Nothing is difficult in the world" Kuang Heng studied hard and was finally admitted to the university; Marx worked hard and struggled hard to get Das Kapital. "Diligence" can cultivate self-cultivation, hard-working and brave physique, perseverance and strong will, so that we can overcome difficulties and obstacles and remain invincible. "Thrift" can cultivate morality, cultivate frugality and simplicity, and make us cherish time, youth and everything we have.
Students, we are a new generation that carries forward the past and opens up the future. While enjoying the material life created by our parents, we should consciously inherit their spiritual wealth-diligent study, diligent thinking, diligent exploration, diligent practice, frugality and self-discipline; Compared with learning, ability and contribution, this is a truly free and easy life and a truly meaningful life. As the cold intensified, the conditions in the fields deteriorated rapidly.
The most dangerous signal is that he is completely blind.
But illness didn't kill his will. On the contrary, he became stronger. He must fight the darkness. Without eyes, he can use his ears. As long as he can recover a little and save a little strength, he can listen. No matter what he says or discusses, he always listens carefully to other people's opinions. This is a long-term serious attitude. He will never let his spirit and thoughts be paralyzed and relaxed because of a serious illness or because the problems and things he faces are trivial.
The field vaguely heard familiar footsteps, and he knew it was Professor Nan. He did not move, but said softly, "Come, please sit down."
Professor Nan said, "Sorry to wake you."
Manager Tian said, "No, I couldn't sleep knowing you were coming."
Looking at Mr. Tian's bony body, Professor Nan felt sad. He can cry now, because manager Tian can't see. Professor nan said with tears in his eyes, "if I can exchange, I'd rather lie in bed."
Manager Tian said, "How can this be done? Doesn't that mean I'm sad? I won't do it. "
It is not easy for manager Tian to keep such humor when his life is dying. Professor Nan really admires his tenacity and strength.
Professor Nan saw an unfinished bottle of mineral water on the table, picked it up and threw it into the trash can.
General Tian heard the noise and asked, "You didn't finish the bottle of water you threw away, did you?"
Professor Nan said, "Yes, there is a small half bottle."
Manager Tian said, "That water can't be wasted."
Professor Nan said, "That water can't be drunk any more."
Manager Tian said, "You can't drink it, but you can use it to water the flowers."
Professor Nan is ashamed that he didn't think of it. He went back and picked up the half bottle of water, unscrewed the lid and poured it into the almost dried vase on the table.
"I didn't think tian teacher was not only thrifty, but also so meticulous. If people all over the world do as you do, the earth will become a beautiful garden. " Professor Nan said with emotion.
Manager Tian said, "Yes, everyone should form the habit of saving. I remember when I was a child, my father took me to the seaside to play. When I was a child, I was full of innocence and played the game of piling sand dunes. Just as I was celebrating my victory, a big wave came and the sand dunes I had worked so hard to build disappeared instantly. I stamped my feet with anger. Father laughed at the side:' how difficult it is to make a thing, and it can be done in an instant by destroying it.' "
Professor Nan said: "It is easy to attack a city, but difficult to defend it."
General Tian said: "Looking back now, I think what my father said is quite reasonable. This is like the relationship between saving and wasting. It is not easy to form the habit of saving, but we can start by putting an end to waste, because waste will ruin our long-term savings, even if you have a lot of money? "
Professor Nan said: "Young people nowadays rarely understand this."
General Tian said, "A company is like this, isn't it the same with a company?" The company's foundation was earned by generations of hard work. If we hadn't scrimped and saved all day, the company would have ceased to exist. Cost saving is the key to the survival and development of enterprises and must be fully recognized by everyone. "
Professor Nan said: "It is everyone's responsibility to be diligent and frugal, and all staff must participate."
General Tian said: "In fact, this is not a new topic, and it should have been known by everyone long ago. First of all,' advocating economy and eliminating waste' is a fine tradition of the Chinese nation. We have the obligation to inherit this good fashion and continue to carry it forward and pass it on to the next generation. "
Professor Nan said: "Today's society is a society with a serious shortage of resources, especially in China. Simple analysis, the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, the West-to-East Coal Transmission Project, and the power supply are quite short. It is precisely because of the lack of resources that the northwest region is seriously short of water, the land is seriously desertified, and sandstorms ravage North China, causing air pollution. "
General Tian said: "From a small perspective, an enterprise should pay more attention to cost saving. The success of Panasonic, a well-known Japanese enterprise, is closely related to the saving policy pursued by Kōnosuke Matsushita. Panasonic's saving policy is implemented from three aspects: first, the materials purchased for production must adhere to the principles of high quality, low price and environmental protection; Second, the technological process of the products produced must adhere to the principle of saving, so that saving becomes the selling point of the products to attract customers; Third, adhere to the principle of economy in the production process, and every employee works hard and is meticulous. There is not a piece of paper or a screw in the workshop and office. "
Professor Nan said, "You can't take the Wan Li Road without stepping forward. If you don't accumulate a small stream, you can't become a river. "
General Tian said: "Since the early 1990s, international business circles have been pushing forward the concept and strategy of cost control, especially large and medium-sized enterprises in Taiwan Province Province and Hongkong have joined the torrent of cost control. Especially after the outbreak of the Asian financial crisis, it has brought great pressure to the development of enterprises and it is urgent to save costs. First, streamline institutions and strengthen functions; Secondly, strengthen the supervision of raw materials, give play to the functions of finance, warehousing and procurement, and give play to the executive role of administrative, design and production departments. These strategies ensure that enterprises can survive the storm and competition. "
Professor Nan said: "In recent years, the international environment has obviously improved, but the infrastructure and supporting facilities are seriously aging and frequently updated. Coupled with rising prices, wages and benefits, the pressure of the company's operation still exists. Therefore, it is quite necessary and timely to propose cost control again. I hope everyone will pay enough attention to it. "
General manager Tian said: "To make a practical plan for the work of" practicing economy and eliminating waste ",all departments of the enterprise should set goals and pay general attention to some small things in life. First, establish the consciousness of "saving glory" ideologically, start from me, start from dribs and drabs, and develop the good habit of thrift. Saving is not for a person or an enterprise, but for society, for our future generations and for the future. Everyone has this obligation and is duty-bound. "
"The second is to be self-disciplined in action and set an example. Think about it, Qitian Company uses an average of 60 to 70 yuan's water every month. I believe that few colleagues use so much water at home in a month, so there must be room for saving. Tap water can be turned up or down, so we should turn it down when we leave. In terms of electricity consumption, the company stipulates that the minimum electricity consumption in the dormitory is for several people, not all of them are enough. If you can, you should. Security guards can patrol on time every day and control it quite well. It should be emphasized that if the phenomenon of using high-power electrical appliances is found during the inspection, it must be pointed out in person. Serious cases should be stopped immediately and reported in time. In terms of paper, photocopiers should strictly follow the company's regulations and it is strictly forbidden to take the company's paper away for their own use. The recycling of waste paper and waste materials must have relevant assessments and plans, and ensure full utilization. "
Professor Nan said: "Diligence and self-cultivation, diligence and self-cultivation" is a good accomplishment. The company is my home, and diligence depends on everyone. Everyone should truly regard the company as their home, love their work with the spirit of being masters, cherish the company's property, and cultivate the virtue of eliminating waste. "
General Tian said: "I heard a news on the radio recently: a Frenchman who has lived here for a long time is often seen on the streets of Huangshi, Hubei Province. He picks up the garbage thrown by others on the ground, and some pick it up and put it in his own pocket, and then takes it home for disposal. The foreigner said that he would use his actions to educate people to care for the environment and develop good hygiene habits. This method of setting an example actually exposes the weakness of local people's awareness of environmental protection. Paying attention to hygiene should be a code of conduct that primary school students should understand, but now we need a foreigner to help us make up lessons and help most people correct their habits. Even some people don't think so after seeing it. They haven't realized the harmfulness of things, and they still go their own way, which is chilling. This is a group that lacks environmental awareness. Not only in Changsha, but also around us, deforestation, large-scale construction, wanton development, spitting and littering are very common. "
Professor Nan said: "There are still many discordant phenomena and voices around us. Spitting, scribbling, hurting others, swearing, booing for no reason, grandstanding, damaging tools, slacking, emotional confrontation, dereliction of duty, non-observance of public order and good customs, etc. It is these discordant voices that make us yearn for a harmonious society. Building a harmonious society is actually to eliminate disharmonious phenomena and discordant voices as much as possible. "
General Tian said: "disharmony is something we don't want to see, but it also has roots." In the final analysis, it is the lack of ownership and collective responsibility. In fact, there seems to be no need to discuss this issue, because we are masters, but some people do not regard themselves as masters at all, and become outsiders and bystanders, turning a blind eye to unfair and immoral things. I'm not alarmist. There are no bystanders in life, and the outcome of bystanders is also very dangerous. He will be eliminated by society. "
Professor Nan said: "Only one person has a sense of ownership, which is not enough. If a person has it, others don't understand it, let alone. We need to work together to create a harmonious, civilized and healthy living and growing environment. Everyone is the master of life and has the power to control and supervise the surrounding environment. You can express your opinions and be proud of improving our life. Imagine that everyone is doing something useful for the collective and others. Collective progress, more friends. I feel very practical, comfortable, energetic and pleasing to the eye. "
General Tian said: "Some people are always asking others to do what they were born with, how to do it, and even some people do it silently. He is also picky and difficult. It never occurred to him that others still need you to do something and society still needs you. Confine yourself completely in a self-centered strange circle, cling to it, and the final result is to lose all the good things. Responsibility is very heavy in some people's eyes, but it is not like this. Responsibility to the collective and others sometimes requires only one hand and one foot, and it doesn't take much effort at all. "
Professor Nan said: "It is the disharmonious words and deeds around us that show the importance of harmony. Harmony and disharmony are opposites, two sides of contradiction and unity. The disappearance of disharmony does not mean the end; Without absolute harmony, when harmony develops to a certain extent, it will inevitably lead to disharmony, so the act of building a harmonious society is actually a long-term struggle against disharmony, which requires everyone's joint efforts. We must constantly face new discordant voices and phenomena and fight against them. "
"With the rapid development of economy and society, people's lives have gradually shifted from architecture to consumption, and profligacy culture has quietly emerged. The profligacy culture properly describes the most striking features of modern western society. Spending money is often an unconscious behavior. "
General Tian said: "The consumption level of the public is constantly improving. At the current consumption rate, perhaps in a few decades, our water resources and energy will be exhausted. Take water as an example. At present, there are 654.38+0.2 billion people in the world who lack drinking water. Most water-deficient areas are not because there is no water, but because of unreasonable use of water resources. We should realize that water is not an inexhaustible resource. Water resources are getting less and less, and the price paid by human beings to improve water quality is getting higher and higher. If people do not get rid of the habit of wasting water, the outbreak of water crisis will be inevitable. In fact, apart from the political agreement on resource conservation reached by all countries in the world, each of us can do our part to save resources within our power. If each of us pays attention to economy in our daily life, it will bring great changes to the world. We should start with small things, start with turning off the tap and power supply in time, and the solution to the water and electricity crisis is in your hands. "
Professor Nan said: "While the government vigorously advocates' thrift', the whole society is actively building conservation-oriented families. From a big perspective, as a country, economic construction is the central task. However, while vigorously developing the economy, there will often be many problems such as waste of resources. If it is not solved in time, it will bring serious consequences to the whole society and constitute the bottleneck of local economic development. Moreover, China is a big energy importer, and the task of controlling resource waste is particularly important. "
General Tian said: "According to the statistics of relevant departments, every year, government agencies, organizations, enterprises and institutions, soldiers and students waste tens of billions of yuan in society. China is a big country, but its economy is developed in some areas. Most rural areas are still poor, infrastructure construction lags behind, pillar industries lack investment and economic benefits are low. Many peasant families can't go to school or drop out of school because of financial constraints, and education can't keep up. Cultural quality and civilization directly affect the progress of the whole society. We have a responsibility to help them get rid of poverty and become rich. How many poor children can be subsidized, how many rural roads can be built and how many rural pillar industries can be driven by using our wasted resources! "
Professor Nan said: "Saving money is like picking dirt with a needle, and spending money is like pushing sand with water." A meal and a porridge is hard to come by; A wisp of it is hard to read. "Since I know that everything has come so hard, how can I bear to turn a blind eye to the waste of the scene?"
General Tian said: "Diligence and self-cultivation, diligence and self-cultivation" has been a good training since ancient times. One plus ten, ten plus hundred, hundred plus ten million. Who says frugality is only a revolutionary style, and everyone needs to save in peacetime? Friend, what are you waiting for?
