The greatest sorrow of a family is not poverty or quarrels, but the inability to raise grateful children. Poverty can be changed with hard work, and quarrels can be alleviated with calmness. Children who are ungrateful will never learn to be filial and will not be able to live a good life. Children who are ungrateful will only ask for things unscrupulously, and will eventually drink up their parents\’ \”blood\” and let the family gradually decline. Children who don\’t know how to be grateful are useless no matter how good they are. There is a proverb in the UK: \”Gratitude is the smallest of virtues, and ungratefulness is the worst of character.\” Gratitude is the foundation of being a human being. Children who are not grateful will be useless no matter how good they are. A Nanjing old man spent millions to send his son to study abroad, but his son died at home after returning to China. Lao Wang was so angry that he sold the car he bought for his son… In the end, the father and son fought, and the son threatened to hack his father to death. Children who are ungrateful have already taken their parents\’ efforts as a matter of course. They only care about their own interests, ignore their parents\’ hardships, and have lost their conscience. For such a child, no matter how highly educated he is, what’s the use? There is a public welfare short film in Thailand that has caused a sensation in the circle of friends. A primary school teacher has a mother who suffers from Alzheimer\’s disease. Every day he takes her to class and lets her sit in the last row of the classroom. However, the students became distracted in class and looked back at his mother from time to time, which made the students\’ parents quite unhappy. Later, the parents unexpectedly discovered that the teacher\’s filial piety to their mother had subtly influenced their children, making them learn to be considerate and grateful. Children\’s grades are important, but there are many things in the world that are more important than grades and affect a child\’s life. Achievements are not worth mentioning in front of gratitude. A spoiled child is ungrateful. Children\’s lack of gratitude is closely related to their parents\’ doting. Excessive love from parents is a chronic poison to children. The toxicity intensifies when the child becomes an adult and will eventually harm him throughout his life. Children enjoy special treatment in the family and are spoiled as \”little princesses and little emperors.\” They are accustomed to being superior to others, so they naturally have no desire to put themselves in someone else\’s shoes. Over time, it becomes arrogant and selfish. They can easily get whatever they want, and they must not know how to cherish everything they have. When wanton squandering becomes their habit, they eventually become destitute. As the saying goes, \”It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.\” The luxurious life they have had since childhood will kill their ability to endure hardships and stand hard work. As a result, they will become lazy and find it difficult to be self-reliant and self-reliant. When they reach adulthood, they become a veritable \”old man\”, and sooner or later they will drain their parents of their hard-earned money. When their parents slightly violate their wishes, they become extremely angry and treat their parents as enemies, attacking each other with fists and kicks. Shakespeare said: \”Unthankful children can bite people\’s hearts more painfully than the sharp teeth of poisonous snakes.\” Spoiled children only have interests in their eyes, and treat their parents as cash machines, and they will never learn to be grateful. The greatest achievement of a family is to raise children who know how to be grateful. Not every drop of water can be exchanged for a spring of repayment, and not every child can repay the kindness of his parents. The greatest achievement of a family is to raise a child who knows how to be grateful. There was an episode of \”Youth Talk\” that made countless people cry. Fang Yuru, a freshman in high school, was at the festivalThe story said that in order for her to receive a better education, her father gave up his life in his hometown and accompanied her to a big city to \”work hard\” together. He would practice piano and voice with her no matter how late it was. But because of his father\’s work, he has never seen one of his performances, so he took this opportunity to sing \”Father\” to show his gratitude. Children who know how to be grateful can shine even if they are not standing on the stage. Some people say: \”Gratitude is a philosophy of life and great wisdom in life.\” I deeply agree. Life cannot be smooth sailing. When facing setbacks on the road of life, if you are grateful, you will not complain about everything around you. If you have the light of gratitude in your heart, it can illuminate farther places. Raising a child who knows how to be grateful is equivalent to giving him the ability to overcome all obstacles in the world. Let him be contented with gratitude, happy with contentment, and gain a happy life. Wang Fu said: \”Life needs a grateful heart to create, and a grateful heart needs life to nourish.\” As a parent, you must not raise a child who is not grateful, making him the greatest sorrow for the family. Look down on the world and see it go away like smoke, remember that kindness remains like blood. Only when children know how to be grateful can they have a life of flesh and blood.
