【文稿】一分钟英文演讲：Choose to be grateful

大家可以把学到的生词，打卡到评论区哦~

You’ve been blessed. Even if you rarely realize it. All of us here have.  

And you’ll keep forgetting this unless you remind yourself. Remind yourself regularly. Choose to be grateful. Remember how it could be worse, it could always be worse.  

The human mind naturally overemphasizes the negative. Psychologists have found that the loss of something is two to four times more painful than the joy of gaining the same thing. It’s an unfortunate mechanism that has kept our species alive and thriving, but also keeps many of us in a constant state of irritation and stress. 

It’s why negative news gets reported and spread so much more readily. It’s why we can’t turn away from a car accident or two people fighting. It’s why it’s so much more tempting to relate to others through complaining and gossip rather than through gratitude. It’s easier.  

This isn’t to say one must ignore what’s wrong or broken with the world. I’m the last one to pretend everything is unicorns and rainbows. It’s just to say that when things seem shitty, don’t forget what’s good, true and beautiful. Remember to shut up and be grateful.
