It is often said that "life is a true reflection of the real world", so each person's words and deeds in life to leave their own footprints of growth.
First of all, I would like to ask who has never wasted anything, or not properly utilized. I think everyone wastes something to a greater or lesser extent, and it may be unintentional or unavoidable. But if wastefulness becomes a habit, or if wastefulness is not taken seriously. Fortunately, this kind of waste is very common. It seems to me that the waste of food in colleges and universities is very serious, and in my school, for example, many students have leftovers from their meals. At the cafeteria table, students often pick out the food they don't want to eat from their bowls, and as a result, there is too much food and not enough food, so they don't eat the rest of the meal. In fact, I can solve this problem by ordering food according to my own characteristics and preferences. We can make the dishes that we like and love to eat or we can break the habit of eating out of the box.
Of course, we can't just talk about saving, thrift is also very important. Like in Nanchang, when it comes to holidays, many commodities will have prices or promotional activities. These cheaper goods can often impress us college students who are not y involved in market transactions. So we will go to buy and rush to buy. Maybe you get a really good price, but do you realize how useful it is in your life. Some students already have a lot of clothes, but he still want to go shopping, in fact, clothes enough to wear on it.
Life should be diligent in thrift, clothing is simple and neat is good.
Many college students always order a lot of food and drinks when they are invited to dinner. As a result, these meals are too wasteful. I don't know why I'm doing this, but I'm not.
What I really want to say is: thrift is not outdated, and very necessary. Think of all the resources and energy we can save by being a little more frugal. We can also save our parents some money and worry less, because everything we have is given to us by them and we should cherish it.
It is the early days of the founding of the country to advocate "hard work, thrift and frugality" with the background of the material shortage at that time. But now with the development of the times, the material has been increasingly meet the needs of people's lives, people can appropriately raise the demand for material life. That is to say, people can not only ask for an item, but also ask for a good one. Generations of differences in how to grasp such a degree, the reporter interviewed the subject of the survey found that the later the birth of the more concerned about the enjoyment of consumption.
Some experts believe that the old generation of frugality to adapt to the conditions of the time, but with the current social context is very different, should be proposed to adapt to the new frugality - the construction of a frugal society. Thrifty society refers to the production, circulation, consumption and other areas, through the adoption of legal, economic and administrative and other comprehensive measures to improve the efficiency of resource utilization, to minimize the consumption of resources to obtain the maximum economic and social benefits, to ensure sustainable economic and social development.
Reporters in the interview also found that people born in the 80's has been the acceptance of such a new concept of thrift, many people in this generation already know how to consciously go in their daily lives to save energy, which is "overspending" of the "moonlight family" is welcome! The first is to be a good example of the way to do this.
The winds of thrift and frugality can prosper the country, while the winds of luxury and extravagance can only bring about the demise of the country
Today, a spectacular scene was witnessed on the streets.
A burst of mournful music attracted the attention of the joint pedestrians. Everyone turned their heads to the side of the road to see, good guy, only to see a small car, each head hanging white flowers, head to tail in a line, there are more than thirty. The foremost one is a camera car, someone holding a camera facing the back of the convoy camera. The second seems to be the hearse, only to see two people wearing white coats, car on both sides of a side, hand-held car door on both sides of the reflector, with the car slowly forward. Behind is the hearse, there are pulling wreaths and other things, there are also pulling family members, there are also purely to follow the funeral. It's so grand!
This huge funeral lineup caused a burst of discussion, people have speculated about the identity of the deceased in life, why there can be so many cars for its funeral? Some say it may be a good official. Otherwise dead certainly no one cared about him. Some say it may be a very rich man, and the relationship is very wide people very good.
We are not going to discuss the status of the deceased here. I only want to focus on the current social trend of extravagance.
Society now seems to have entered a stage of great material abundance. Whether it is the common people, or big business magnates, or dignitaries, at the time of the wedding and funeral always have to make a big fuss, feast guests and friends, held a grand ceremony, as if not so insufficient to show their status and position, not so insufficient to attract the attention of the world. At the beginning of this article is the funeral I saw with my own eyes, a big example of organizing. Some days ago, I also saw Shanxi a family of more than 100 million of coal bosses to marry their daughters, with pictures, the luxury fleet is shocking! In real life, people every wedding, funeral, feast guests, set up a table of sumptuous feast, people can enjoy up to half of them, and half of them can not eat, in the end had to be poured out. It seems a pity! Nowadays, the wind of extravagance and waste has permeated the whole society. It's as if people have long forgotten how they came to be decades ago.
The wind of extravagance comes from the social officials and some people who are rich first. In order to show their status, wealth, and position, they are not afraid to make a big fuss over their weddings and funerals. They can not only show their status, but also can bring themselves rich economic returns. The official's wedding and funeral, that is a good time to collect money. As long as the invitations, or once the news is out, take the opportunity to flatter the people will be gathered, have previously been taken care of, and would like to take the opportunity to repay, and hope to be able to get promoted and reused in the future, all sorts of heart. Since this is the psychological, then the number of gifts is by no means unusual. The purpose of the gift is to attract the attention of the leadership, therefore, before the gift, the gift giver will have to consider how many others to send. If you send the number of less than others, nature will not cause the leadership attention. Therefore, the number of gifts, generally more is better. Some even invitations are not used under. Where the leader's family and seriously hospitalized, some people with the intention of early on through various channels to inquire, meet the people who know will ask "dead? Because once you get the news, it's good to be the first to know. Because once you get the news, you can get a head start, in order to attract the special attention of the leadership. The wedding and funeral of the big businessmen and tycoons, that is to pay attention to the exchange of gifts, and those who usually make friends with the people are not ordinary, therefore, gift-giving is by no means ordinary people can imagine. Therefore, the leading cadres and big businessmen and big businesswomen wedding ceremony is only to earn not to lose.
The wind of extravagance from the officialdom and the upper class to the people, can be harmful to the people. The general public, life is able to maintain a subsistence, can not withstand the slightest wind and waves. But when it comes to such things as weddings and funerals, it seems to be held hostage by the social trend, can not help it. You say that the big ceremony, it is not so economic strength. Do not make a big deal about it, as if the shame of no face, just have to hold on. A lot of ordinary people a thing to do down on the yuan gas injury, high debt, we have to long-term scrimp and save to pay off the debt.
Weddings and funerals as a family's important day, as a folklore, it is worth a special way to commemorate some, but not just a wasteful way to do this, there are other more meaningful ways to commemorate. In the past, a person died, family and friends gathered together to open a memorial service can be very good to send the deceased's condolences.
It is a fine tradition of the Chinese people to be thrifty and industrious, to build a country and a family. For a long time in the past, society has been advocating the style of self-reliance and hard work. But I don't know when, hard work and thrift is regarded as obsolete. It has become fashionable to make a big fuss over everything. I remember the earliest slogan I saw in the 1980s, which reflected the change in people's concept of thrift and frugality. The slogan was "I wish you could earn and spend". The slogan was prominently displayed on the door of a store. After nearly 30 years, the wind of wastefulness has invaded the marrow of society. People are no longer proud of being thrifty and frugal, but ashamed of it. It is believed that thrift and frugality were only the last resort of the people in the time of material scarcity. Now the material is rich, as long as the money should enjoy enjoy, waste a little nothing.
Is it true that thrift is outdated in this day and age? The answer is not so. Although compared to the past, now society is relatively richer, people's wealth has increased, but this is only relatively speaking. This kind of richness and wealth is not balanced. Some areas are more materially rich, while others are relatively poor. Some people have a lot of money, while others may not be able to eat one meal without worrying about the next. Cities and towns close to cities are relatively well supplied with material goods, while the vast rural areas are relatively poor. Some remote rural areas even have thatched huts, and in some places many children are still worried about going to school. When you think about spending money, is not also should think for them.
Some people will say, I have money, I am wasting my own money. I'm sure you're wasting your own money. But waste is not just a waste of money, waste is in a sense a waste of social labor. When you waste, you are trampling on the fruits of other people's labor. What you waste, you can still buy with money. But the total wealth of society is reduced by your waste.
The wind of luxury and extravagance can corrode people's souls, make people lose their will to fight, make people forget to revel in material enjoyment, and forget the hard work of entrepreneurship. Where wasteful luxury and extravagance without pain, their wealth are easier to come. Either through corruption, or through other illegal means to get a fortune, or easily from his father's generation to inherit a seemingly a lifetime of inexhaustible wealth. In the face of this easily obtained huge wealth they can not luxury and extravagance? Can it hurt to waste it? They are not only luxurious and extravagant, but also pass this trend to their offspring, to the society.
The wind of extravagance and wastefulness has become the fashion of the society and is a sign of the beginning of the degeneration of the social atmosphere. It will undoubtedly play a toxic role in the social atmosphere. When the luxury and extravagance of the waste of wind become fashionable, people will only produce between the heart of comparison. You are luxurious, I am more luxurious than you, you are extravagant, I am more extravagant than you. Some people do not have the strength, will use illegal means to achieve the purpose. In the long run, the wind of luxury and extravagance will erode people's mind like a flood beast.
Only a thrifty society will be full of vigor, full of progress, full of creativity. Only thrifty and frugal society can constantly create more material and spiritual wealth. In a wasteful, luxurious and extravagant society, people's entrepreneurial spirit and the spirit of creativity are drowned by luxury and extravagance. The whole society will become corrupt and stagnant.
People living in society always have to labor and create. The purpose of labor creation is to create more wealth and value for the society. Thrift and frugality can reduce the cost of creating wealth and value. It maximizes the value of the wealth and cost created. And extravagance and wastefulness can only increase the cost of creating wealth and reduce the wealth and value created by society as a whole.
We should always keep in mind that thrift and hard work can only prosper the country, extravagance can only be the death of the country. At any time, any place, under any pretext of wastefulness is unjustified. At any time hard work and thrift will never go out of fashion. At all times, we should make thrift and diligence a virtue to be passed on from generation to generation. The establishment of this virtue should start with the government authorities. To start from each and every person.
Is "thrift and diligence" outdated?
Today's society is rumored to be "diligent and thrifty" has become obsolete. The traditional Chinese virtue of "hard work and thrift" has really gone out of fashion? I don't think so.
China has always been "diligent and thrifty", "hard work" and well-known in the world, there is a good saying, "thrift, the virtue of **** also; wastefulness, the evil of the great also." To cover up the wastefulness of the heart with their own generous appearance is shameful. Today, among us, but some people absurdly put forward: "Today's era, society is developing, the ancient 'thrifty and frugal' this kind of ethos has been unable to catch up with the beat of today's times."
Is this really true? I don't deny that many capitalist countries have entered an era of high consumption. Since the reform and opening up, our society has also undergone radical changes, however, do we not understand the economic situation and social reality of our country? Our country is a developing country and is in and will remain in the primary stage of socialism for a long time. It is obvious that there is still a big gap between our economy and that of the world's powerful countries. What is more, the powerful countries in the world also advocate economizing and oppose wastefulness. For example: covers an area of small but economically powerful Japan, people's standard of living is higher, but the Japanese people have been cultivating since childhood, "thrifty and frugal" consciousness, students eat at noon in school, not allowed to pick food, bowl of rice to a grain of rice to eat no more to add. It is easy to see that the more economically powerful countries, the more "cheap". However, in real life, around us, our students and how "thrifty"?
According to the survey, our students in the school life is very serious waste, some even "with the bun fight"; Another example, in recent years, some Western countries have an economic crisis, large and small capitalists, have exhausted all kinds of methods to eliminate the economic crisis. However, at this time, some Chinese people said, "Our country is so vast that we need not be afraid of any economic crisis at all." Is this really true? We should know that our country is the most populous country in the world, with a small per capita share, and is actually a "small resource country". So, what qualifies us to be extravagant and wasteful? Why don't we talk about "hard work and thrift"?
China's ancient celebrities Zhu Bailu in the "Zhu Zi family training" said: "a porridge and a meal, when thinking of hard-won; half silk and half stranded, always think of the material strength of the hard." Another poet, Lu You, said, "Things under the sun often succeed in hard work and thrift but fail in extravagance." Advocates of high consumption of people, have you ever thought that some of our remote mountainous areas of people are still struggling on the breadline, nearly ten million students' parents in the children's school to raise tuition and running around, there are millions of students because of poverty at any time there is a possibility of dropping out of school, as long as you live a little more frugal, with your love, with the money you save to help people struggling to stay on the breadline, to the students can not afford to pay the tuition fee! The first thing that you need to do is to make sure that you have the money you need to help the people who are struggling to make ends meet!
See, "hard work and thrift" is not only outdated, we also want to vigorously promote, we are firmly opposed to those who only care about their own enjoyment, do not care about other people's high consumption practices, otherwise we will be the society's "moth," "loser". "loser", and then the big family business will be lost by us. Students, let us *** with thrift and frugality, study hard to start from the little things around us, for the comprehensive construction of a moderately prosperous society to strive for it!
