"Things grow like fragrant grass in spring" - How to treat personal progress correctly. Comrade Deng Xiaoping once said, "When I come out to work, I can have two attitudes: one is to be an official, and the other is to do some work. I think, who would call you a Communist? Since you have become an official, you cannot be an official, you cannot have selfish thoughts, and you cannot have other choices." We should work wholeheartedly, not be an official or an old man. This is Comrade Deng Xiaoping's life pursuit, and it also provides us with inspiration to understand and achieve progress. It is common and understandable for people to pursue political progress and career advancement, but we cannot narrowly understand growth and progress as "taking one level higher" in terms of position, rank, and treatment, while neglecting the growth and development of intrinsic traits such as ideological learning, ability, and character. Growth and progress refer to the continuous maturity of a person's thoughts, body, and personality, which is a manifestation of achieving success in work and career. As a party member and cadre, one should aspire to accomplish great things and not aspire to become a high-ranking official. If one mistakenly focuses their life value on job promotion and has no intention of starting a business, not only is it far from true progress, but it may also be burdened by the "official centric" ideology and fall into a tragic life of being burdened with shackles due to the feeling of being too small. "Things grow like fragrant grass in spring, and people are like floating clouds and shadows that do not linger." Those who can leave a good name in history are those who want to do things, can do things, and accomplish things. General Xu Haidong has changed his position multiple times, from a higher vocational position to a lower one, from a main position to a deputy position, and several times he voluntarily requested demotion. Some people were puzzled, but he sincerely said, "I am addicted to war and walking. In the past, I was addicted to drinking, but I did not have an official addiction." For military party members and cadres, they should have no desire for official positions, create their own careers, focus all their thoughts on war, and work hard towards war. When job progress is complete, work progress is endless. Only by maintaining a calm mind in one's position and a proactive spirit in one's career can one truly find the joy of struggle and the value of work. Heaven rewards diligence, and those who strive succeed. People often say: Relationships are like muddy rice bowls, they will shatter; A diploma is an iron rice bowl that will rust; Ability is a golden rice bowl and will appreciate in value. This sentence tells us that only by relying on one's qualities, making progress through practical achievements, remaining steadfast, and striving hard, can one make youth without regrets and life without regrets. If you invest your growth and progress in running relationships, finding connections, and taking shortcuts, it will inevitably ruin your bright future. Marshal Liu Bocheng once said, "Without the Party, people like us will not make any achievements." For every officer and soldier, growth and progress rely not only on personal efforts, but also on organizational training. If there is a way to progress, it is to believe in and rely on organizations; If there is a shortcut to development, it is to work diligently and be an honest person. Party organizations at all levels should strictly follow principles, policies, rules, and procedures in their work, and adhere to the principle of fairness, seeking justice, and ensuring fairness in issues related to the vital interests of officers and soldiers, so as to desensitize sensitive affairs under the sunshine. We should cultivate and select cadres according to the standards of good military cadres, and truly select and make good use of those who plan to fight, drill for war, and are capable of fighting.
