My speech

Remember to include in your post: * What this task is. * Why you did it and what you learned. * Something you enjoyed. * Something you are still wondering about.

1 Kia Ora koutou katoa Ko Malia toku ingoa. I tenei tau ko taku korero mo te maioha. Hello, everyone, my name is Malia This year my speech is about gratitude What are you grateful for? * I am grateful for lots of things and one thing that means the most to me is having a roof over my head. *	2  You always have to have a positive to every negative and a good way to have a positive is to say something you are grateful for. Here is a example * I am grateful for my family, my friends and my pets. I am sure you have a lot more and if not I am sure you will hear me say some more during this speech.*
3 During the tough time we have been through I am sure we have all had to stay positive... And I am sure you know what I mean. Do you know what the law of attraction means? * If not, I will tell you. The law of attraction is when you send out positive energy something positive happens in your life.	4 If you send out negative energy something negative will happen. If you are grateful for the things you have already then you will get more amazing things so always be grateful for what you do have.* I have a question for you * Who and what are you grateful for? Some of you might be thinking about wealth. What kind of wealth? What are you wealthy in Kindness, Love, Money, Friends?
5 Imagine the world without gratitude. It would be a sad gloomy place. Just imagine what it would be like.* Everyone would be ill-tempered. The hospitals would be full and everyone would not be nice to the patients and lots of people would be depressed, so that is why people need to be grateful. This leads me to the next part of my speech where I am going to share ways you can be grateful. Saying thank you is the most obvious one.	6 You could start a gratitude journal where you can write down and keep a record of the things you are grateful for, you could keep it private and lock them away for when you need it most. Leaving a tip at a restaurant shows you are grateful for the food you receive. Try sending a thank you card to someone who has done something nice as a way of showing you are grateful. One thing I have been doing recently is baking yummy things and giving them to people
7 I care about them, this shows that I am grateful to have them in my life. Try making your family a meal, you could ask your siblings to help. Now you get the idea. I feel by showing gratitude you can make the world a better place. As I have already highlighted, being grateful is very important	8 And can help make your own life better. I challenge you today to spend five minutes writing down the things you're grateful for in your life. I would like to close my speech with a short quote from the secret gratitude book by Rhonda Bryne  “ appreciate and be grateful for every little thing ”  Kia ora mo to whakarongo ki Aku korero. Thank you for listening to my speech.
