     Ladies and Gentlemen,
     Good afternoon!
     My name is David.I come from Jiangsu Province.Right now I start my own business in Yiwu city.Today I am very happy to have a chance to share the topic with all of you.My topic is “cherish what you have right now”.Before my topic , I would like to tell you a story.
     Long long time ago there was a big mountain. In the mountain there was a temple. In the temple there were two monks. One is an old monk, the other is a young monk. One day the old said to the young: “You can go outside of the mountain to travel around and experience the life of common people.But you are required to come back after 10 years.” The young nodded. He left the mountain and traveled. Ten years later,he came back at last.The old monk asked him a question: “what have you learned in the past ten years?” The young answered: “ In the past 10 years I have come to know that the most important thing is what I have lost and what I haven’t got.” The old smiled and said nothing.Time passed quickly. One year later, the old said to the young again: “You can travel around again for another 10 years”. The young followed it. Another 10 years later, the young returned.The time the old monk asked him the same question: “What have you learned in the past 10 years?” The young kept silent for while and said: “In the world the most important thing is not what I have lost and not what I haven’t got but what I have right now.Just cherish it.”
     So much for the story. But the answer in the story is very instructive. Sometimes it makes me think a lot. “Just cherish what you have right now.” It is a very good idea.But maybe you have the question: What is “cherish”? Could you tell me the detail meaning? Ok! I tell you the answer. Cherish means just to keep it ,to hold it , to love it and to protect it.For example, you have a nice  popular and fashion IPhone, just cherish it means to keep it well ,to hold it well, love it well and protect it well.Understand? I see. You got it.OK! Right now I have a question for you: What do you have right now? Maybe you will say “I have a lot of money.” maybe you will say : “ I have a big house” maybe he will say：“I have a rich car”  Maybe she will say: “I have a smart boy friend.” Maybe ,maybe ,maybe ,maybe there are lots of maybes.Maybe different people have different answer for it.But it doesn’t matter. No matter whatever your answer is, just cherish it.Cherish what you have right now.Cherish your parents,especially when they become older and older,give more love to them. Otheriwse you will have more regrets.Cherish your family members,especially your children.Try your best to spare and spend more time to be with them.Otherwise,you don't have chance to regret it.Cherish your friends,especially when they are in trouble. Spare no efforts to help them out.Otherwise your friends will go away from you one day.Cherish,cherish,cherish.As long as you cherish what you have right.
