Recently, there was a sad news: a city railway station with an investment of over 100 million yuan in a certain area was shut down after only a few years of operation. Why is that? According to local residents, the station is built in the suburbs and is too far from the city center. There are almost no densely populated residential areas within a radius of 1 kilometer, and no one usually comes to take the bus. Is this a case of unrealistic and blind decision-making behind it? In fact, there are many similar 'big shots'. According to media reports, there are over 20 stations across the country that are either unused or closed due to remote locations, lack of surrounding facilities, and insufficient passenger flow. Not only transportation stations, but also industrial parks and cultural tourism projects built in some places are often abandoned and abandoned upon completion, with hundreds of millions of yuan of financial funds often wasted. Some local officials argue that this is a forward-looking plan, hoping to leverage its magnetic attraction to people and logistics to empower regional development. It cannot be denied that promoting local development cannot be achieved without forward-looking vision and advanced layout. However, being ahead does not mean being detached from reality, and it must also be moderate. One sided and blind advancement will ultimately turn the so-called 'expected dividends' into irreparable' sunk costs'. Behind 'big spending' is' political achievement impulsiveness'. Some cadres are like "three fires of fire when new officials take office", rushing to make big moves and undertake major projects before the bench is heated up, in order to demonstrate their abilities. As for whether the projects can be implemented, it becomes secondary. Some cadres only focus on the top and are not practical, picking on projects within the "visible range" of their leaders. As for the people who cannot benefit from them, they will not pay attention at all. Some cadres make decisions with a "slap in the head", accustomed to sitting in the office listening to reports, flipping through materials, patting their desks, and waving their pens. Whether it is realistic or not, it all depends on personal judgment. In the final analysis, behind these behaviors, it has never been for the long-term development of the local area, but rather a small number of cadres suffering from "performance impulsiveness syndrome", which is a deviation in the view of performance. The key to curbing blind decision-making and correcting impulsive political achievements is to solidly carry out the basic skill of "investigation and research". Without in-depth research, decisions will deviate; If the footsteps are not solid, the achievements will be meaningless. Before making major decisions, leaders at all levels should take a step forward, step out of the courtyard, step on the ground, go among the masses, and conduct practical research. Scientific decision-making relies not only on physical strength, but also on a public heart. Being out of touch with reality and being ahead of time often leads to a desire for great achievements, living beyond one's means, and being influenced by selfish motives. Leaders and cadres can only break free from the narrow circle of personal gains and losses, establish and practice a correct view of political achievements, and think and make decisions from the perspective of the overall development of the Party and the people's cause, by clearly distinguishing between public and private affairs and serving the public wholeheartedly. All planning must be pragmatic. When planning every project, attention should be paid to calculating input-output accounts and improving adaptability. The cost of the station is expensive, and it's a pity that it's idle and abandoned. Party members and cadres should take this as a warning and adhere to the principle of starting from reality and following the rules in their work. In the future, if we want to embark on those "big projects" that often cost billions of yuan, we must think twice: is it in line with local realities? Is it in line with the will of the masses? Can it withstand the test of practice, the people, and history? (New Society)
