Summary is a wisdom and a discipline. The work style advocated by Comrade Mao Zedong is to divide the experience into two parts and conduct a summary: "There are two points to summarizing experience, one is the advantages, and the other is the disadvantages." A good summary is of great benefit. When we conduct year-end summaries, we should also be more pragmatic and avoid sensationalism; More self reflection and avoidance of embellishment; It is necessary to have both the completion status and analysis of the task, as well as the ideas and measures to solve the problem; Talking about grades is one, two is two, and discussing problems is one. It truly achieves the goal of sorting out work, reflecting on lessons learned, and summarizing experience. Being good at summarizing is the key to progress. President Xi Jinping pointed out, "Whether one truly puts their heart into practice or is good at summarizing and thinking, the size of their gains, and the speed of improvement are different. Objectively speaking, completing a task does not count as truly completed, it can only be counted as half, and the other half is a review. Only by reviewing and deducing thoughts from what has been done can we effectively summarize experience, understand the essence of work, master basic laws, and truly transform work experience into our own abilities. As Marx said, "The growth of human talent depends on practice and learning, but it does not naturally grow through practice and learning. It must be accompanied by continuous and serious reflection on experience and lessons learned." During the revolutionary war era, our army conducted a summary every time we fought a battle. Su Yu, known as the "victorious general", commanded a major victory in the Battle of Huangqiao in 1940. While others were celebrating with great enthusiasm, he sat under a kerosene lamp and carefully summarized the gains and losses of the battle, ultimately coming up with 8 lessons learned and 12 shortcomings. When you win, understand where you win; when you fail, understand why you lose, and then reflect on the gaps and improve your work methods. Only in this way can you continue to make progress and improve. Both units and individuals need to make good use of dialectical materialism as a "telescope", "magnifying glass", and "microscope" to systematically sort out, comprehensively examine, and thoroughly analyze the work of the whole year, and use the dialectical thinking of "dividing into two" to do a good job of year-end summary. President Xi emphasized, "Experience in work is wealth, and lessons learned in work are also wealth. The key is whether one is good at summarizing. Without mentioning achievements, one cannot run away, and problems are not insignificant. Only by daring to face problems can we summarize and make real progress. Summarizing work is not only for reviewing the past, sorting and reviewing, but also for clarifying ideas and planning for the future. All of this requires us to resolutely avoid the "water injection" style summary of "not enough rice to make up for it", the "flower magpie" style summary of emphasizing achievements and avoiding problems, the "copy and paste" style summary of repeating the same old ideas year by year, and the "word game" style summary of writing behind closed doors and going from paper to paper. The process of summarizing is a process of deep thinking and exploring patterns, as well as a process of careful thinking, discernment, reflection, and alertness. To do a good job in the year-end summary work, we should learn and master the fundamental methods of dialectical materialism, continuously enhance our dialectical thinking ability, and carry out a process of refining the work throughout the year, eliminating the dross and retaining the truth, and processing the thoughts from this to that, from the surface to the inside, to find the laws behind the achievements, the reasons behind the problems, and the methods behind the gaps. We should systematize the scattered understanding, deepen the superficial understanding, further clarify our thinking, improve measures, and enhance quality and efficiency, and strive to turn the process of year-end summary into a "big physical examination" and a "gas station" for accumulating strength and starting again at the end of the year.
