We can't. There's no way possible that we don't take what we have for granted. II think, as long as we ain't contented about something, be it grades, work, family or love- we take things for granted.
Even without knowing, we take things for granted. Your mum that's always bothering you to come home for dinner. Your friend that's always there.
It seems that its only when we lose them or near losing things that we understand how important they are. Because if we always believe that something would always be there like family, we simply forget how important they are.
How do we not take things for granted? Be happy and contented with what you have. Tough isn't it?

This is what I believe ,
Despite all the things you have said in order for us to not take stuff for granted is to think about all the stuff you have. Realize and understand why you have it and how it helps you. I know most of the stuff you don't really need is in your house but you have to appericate what you have. I think that society had impacted us the most within that category your talking about with the new iPHONES, mp3s and etc etc nowadays it's all about getting the best things out there and the easiest things, so this is what you can do, don't follow the hype, be true to yourself and understand and know why you need this product/item/person and how they help you and how you can help them.
well im not sure if it helps but goodluck!

I sort of learn when I survived the Hurricane Frances, we went to weeks with out electricity and water, that made me think how many things we take for granted.
Good luck!!!

In order not to take things for granted you must be honest with yourself. When you accept the truth that everything is transitory you tend to appreciate it more.

by realizing that everything we do affects people. So when we make bad decisions, they [bad decisions] will badly affect people too, vice versa..
