'Take care of others' before' take care of oneself '

Not long ago, during the rectification of political training issues in a certain unit, party members and cadres adhered to the requirements of inward looking and strict inspection, insisting on starting from self-improvement and themselves, and promoting the transformation of work style through practical actions. This approach is worth learning from. President Xi Jinping pointed out, "We should not only use the Marxist Leninist flashlight to shine on others when setting requirements for cadres at all levels." This important directive reminds Party members and cadres that they must first do what they expect others to do, and they must never do what they expect others not to do. We believe in Marxism Leninism, so we must follow the requirements of Marxism Leninism in our conduct, work, and official positions. How can one gain the trust of others if they demand Marxism Leninism from others and pursue liberalism and decentralization on their own? As the saying goes, 'Those who are good at prohibition should first prohibit themselves and then their descendants; those who are not good at prohibition should first prohibit others and then their bodies.'. Party members and cadres themselves are a kind of guidance and a kind of atmosphere. Only by shining the "Marxist Leninist flashlight" on themselves and achieving integrity, strict self-discipline, can we cultivate a clean and beautiful political ecology. Correct oneself before correcting oneself. Only by transforming oneself can party members and cadres educate others well. However, in real life, there are still a few party members and cadres who "use Marxism Leninism to treat others and liberalism to treat themselves", demanding strict standards from others and lenient standards from themselves. Some people speak with two mouths and behave with two faces, which is different on stage and off stage, as well as before and after. Such actions are naturally unconvincing and difficult to promote the deepening and implementation of work style construction. The 'Marxist Leninist flashlight' shines on oneself first, and the value lies in placing oneself inside. The founding general Xu Guangda is a model of our party's courage to self reflect. In 1955, when Xu Guangda learned that he had been named by Comrade Mao Zedong and was preparing to be awarded the rank of Grand General, he solemnly wrote the "Application for demotion": "I asked myself: In terms of morality, talent, qualifications, and achievements, do I wear the four-star emblem and feel calm and composed?" This kind of high moral character of "taking care of myself first" left a "reputation throughout the world". Today, Party members and cadres must actively participate in political training, proactively investigate and identify problems, earnestly rectify unhealthy practices, and cultivate new positive values in order to accumulate positive energy for work style construction and better boost military morale. Take care of yourself first, focus on putting your responsibilities into it. In addition to the responsibilities and obligations of Party members, Party members and cadres also have specific requirements for their duties. A large number of facts have shown that a good work style of party members and cadres must be a good performance of their duties and responsibilities; Poor work style will inevitably lead to inadequate performance of responsibilities. Put responsibilities into it, require party members and cadres to refer to the list of responsibilities, consciously identify the problems they have in fulfilling their duties, make improvements if there are any, and encourage others if there are none. With a strong sense of dedication and responsibility, they should set an example for officers and soldiers, set a benchmark, and set a good example. Take care of yourself first, and also put the work in. Whether it is political training or military training and preparation, it must be tested and measured through work effectiveness. If we talk about our style without starting a business, we will become 'puppets in the public hall'. Currently, the entire army is making every effort to win the battle to achieve the centenary goal of building the military. Party members and cadres who do their job well are contributing to the fight against difficulties. This requires Party members and cadres to handle the relationship between discipline and performance, regularly check whether they are clean and adhere to high standards and quality, and truly pursue excellence, perfection, and perfection in their work, so as to achieve high quality, create new achievements, and win a good reputation.
