This slideshow presentation encourages the viewer to be thankful for what they have by considering those who are less fortunate. It does this through a series of slides that ask the viewer to compare their situation to those who are struggling more, such as people who are unhappy, have low salaries, few friends, or disabilities. The final slides suggest being thankful for what you receive or escape rather than complaining, as frowns and grouchiness do not improve difficult situations or make work easier.

11. Did your surliness drive any trouble away?
Did you cover more ground than you usually do,
Because of the grouch you carried with you?
If not, what's the use of a grouch or a frown,
If it won't smooth a path, or a grim trouble down?
If it doesn't assist you, it isn't worthwhile.
Your work may be hard, but just do it…

12. If you can't be thankful
for what you receive,
be thankful for
what you escape.
