Diligence and thrift are the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation. In ancient China, there was a saying, "Look at the sages' homes from afar, and be thrifty and extravagant.". Some students will ask, "Now that our life is so good, do we still need to be frugal?" My answer is: "Of course." Diligence and thrift is a virtue and a spirit, not based on whether the material is rich or not.

We should live frugally in poverty and thrifty in prosperity. As the saying goes: sit in an empty seat. There are many examples of "carnival today, begging in the streets tomorrow" in history. During the Five Dynasties in China, there was a story about Li Cunxu's "giving a bunch of godsons". Born in poverty, Li Cunshen fought for his country for 40 years and was shot in the bone by the enemy 100 times. Later, he became a big official. Seeing that the children were spoiled since childhood, he gave them the arrow he pulled out of the bones in those years, warning them not to forget frugality, and said, "That's how your father started. You should know that."

In western China and some remote mountainous areas, the economy is relatively backward, students live frugally and try to change their destiny and hometown.

Diligence and thrift are practical needs, and we teenagers also need thrift in our lives. For the prosperity of our family business and our country, we must cultivate the noble sentiment of thrift. Only in this way can we have a tomorrow and our nation can flourish. Source network.
