[Verse]
He was a child
Raised in a rich family
Not as you
Not as me
Life isn't hard when you've got everything
But listen to this story
He became an ungrateful guy
Excuse me, thanks a lot
They were not his favourite words
But suddenly he has lost it all
Daddy went bust and suicided
A typical irony of our lives
[Pre Chorus]
A lonely soul to be rescued
Another chance to begin
Reboot yourself, start over
And learn from your mistakes
[Chorus]
Gratitude, great attitude
Always remember
Gratitude, great attitude
And never forget
[Bridge]
The doors were closed for him
Nobody cares when one falls
If one's a total tosser
No matter if you're poor
Or if you're rich
Respect people
Respect yourself
You are what you preach
[Pre Chorus]
A lonely soul to be rescued
Another chance to begin
Reboot yourself, start over
And learn from your mistakes
[Chorus]
Gratitude, great attitude
Always remember
Gratitude, great attitude
And never forget
Once I heard someone saying that this decade's word is gratitude, and that many of the self help books out there talk about gratitude as solution for most of the problems. I have to agree with this statement. People are ungrateful by the simplest things that go through and live in their daily basis. People which, by thinking they have more, be it in knowledge, finances or anything else, they can humiliate others and not be thankful. Is it really possible reach anywhere without any kind of gratitude?
Since our first breathe, even the food we have got in our tables, everything passed through something or someone. Someone we should be thankful for. Gratitude is the action of recognise or give acknowledgement for something good. I'm not telling gratitude won't make you superior and praiseworthy, but will turn you of easy and pleasant sociability, and it also makes your heart lightweight.
The nice part of gratitude is that there is no social class distinction. It's a simple gesture just like hugging. And as simple as hugging, being grateful can start right now: grateful for the air you breath, as natural as it can be or with the help of machines. Talking about need help, in the Bible we can find many examples of being thankful, e some of them are related to a context where, if we check the naked truth, it would be reasons to complain about. But God gives you a peace that goes beyond any human comprehension. And this I can talk about experiences I've been through.
Remember, people will think about you for what you do. The American poet and philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson said "what you do speaks so loudly, I can’t hear what you’re saying". I've been watching this as a teacher, mainly, and noticing, as well, clearer in many examples pointed in the book "20 Golden Rules for Educating Children and Students", written by Augusto Cury (a fast-reading book full of learning). More action and less gibberish.
Be thankful and make the difference.
