Part I Writing

Gratitude, the traditional virtue of all culture, never fades in its importance to individual life and the society as a whole. No matter we are in happiness or misfortune, we are supposed to hold a grateful heart towards our life, for nothing is impossible to a grateful heart.

In our daily life, we are frequently confronted with hard times and difficulty. At this time, we are blessed to get help from parents, friends, colleagues or even strangers, whereby we can survive and endure. In return for that, we should hold a grateful heart to be ready to help others whenever they are in trouble or suffering from misery. The more love we give, the more love we receive, which constitutes the basis of our civilization.

Nowadays, more emphasis has been put on the construction of harmonious society. Under no circumstances should we neglect the positive impacts gratitude has exerted on it. Only when each member of our society shows gratitude to others and to life, would there be less conflict and more understanding and would a harmonious society be achieved.
