但我還是說這是一個偉大的國度
So many people want to come here, want to live here. Why? Because of the freedom. Because of the opportunities. Again, not perfect, but a great country.
很多人想來這里生活，為什么？因為這里的自由和機會。雖然不完美，但這是一個偉大的國度
Do we appreciate America? Do we appreciate its greatness? Because if we don't, we can pay a high price.

It's in vogue now "US bashing" in this country. In this place.
現在國內很流行"抨擊美國"
And the problem is when we just focus on bashing, when we just focus on the negative,
當我們專注于抨擊時，當我們專注于消極時
we create a worse reality rather than improving the reality. So yes, we need to be critical.
我們沒有改善現實，反而使其惡化。沒錯，我們需要有批判精神
And one of the virtues of this great country is that you can stand out in the street
這個國家的偉大之處之一就是你可以站在大街上

But at the same time, we also have the freedom and we should exercise the freedom to focus on what is working on the good.

Because appreciating is important, whether it's a country,
因為感激很重要，不管是感激一個國家
whether it's a relationship, whether it's individual, whether it's students, whether it's teachers.
一段關系，一個人，一個學生還是一個老師
Appreciation is important. The meaning of "appreciate" from dictionary: valuing; the act of recognizing the best in people or the world around us;
感激很重要。我從字典查來“appreciate”的意思：重視其價值；認同我們身邊的人或世界中最好的一面
affirming past and present strengths and potentials; to perceive those things that give life (health, vitality, excellence) to living systems.
肯定過去和現在的優點和潛力；感激那些為生物賜予生命，健康，活力和優點的事物
