From ancient times to the present, since childhood, our study, work and life are surrounded by all kinds of "excuses". We are used to the words "too busy", "too difficult", "almost", "capable", "in no hurry", "helpless" and "none of my business", and we are also familiar with them. Maybe we are used to this kind of excuse.
Most of us are probably not only used to saying these "excuses", but also used to being explained by others. We are used to using these excuses to explain the difficulties we encounter in our study, work and life. Maybe we think this is a normal, even a state of mind, but when we really calm down and think about it, it is actually an excuse to avoid difficulties.
But what did these "excuses" really affect us, the progress of our own career, the realization of self-worth, or the mediocre years of muddling along? According to Maslow's five-level theory of needs, human needs can be divided into five levels, namely, physiological needs, security needs, sense of belonging and social interaction needs, respect needs and self-realization needs. The lowest level is physiological demand, and the highest level is self-realization demand. What level of demand did these "excuses" help us meet?
"No excuses". At first glance, there is a feeling of meanness and indifference, which seems to tell us to obey our superiors unconditionally and not to find any reasons. After reading it, I found that this is strengthening. We should try our best to complete any task, instead of making excuses for unfinished tasks, even if it seems reasonable. Admonish us not only to do our best, but also to do our best when we finish all the work. First of all, the title "No Excuses" is far more profound than the literal meaning. It is not only a slogan put forward by West Point Military Academy to all students, but also an important ideological concept and code of conduct that we need to pursue all our lives. It embodies a perfect execution potential, a submissive and honest attitude, and a responsible and dedicated spirit. In real life, it is this spirit that we lack.
After reading Wu Ganlin and Deng Xiaolan's new work "There is no excuse for work", I deeply found that we are in "excuses" everywhere, and our normal words have basically become "excuses", which is why most of us are still far from realizing our self-worth.
When we were students, we passed the exams one by one, so we were "competent" and "excellent". At work, we said "The company is not mine anyway, so we can do it" and "What's the matter". In our life, the words "Don't worry, do it tomorrow" and "There is no time, let's talk about it later" are everywhere in our daily study, work and life. In fact, it is these habits that sometimes even become our hobbies, quietly changing our lofty goals when we first step into study, work and life. It is these habits that stifle our previous passion, stifle our previous dreams, and adapt us to this mediocre life.
"No excuses" seems indifferent and impersonal, and seems to be only suitable for special teams such as the army, but it can stimulate a person's greatest potential. Personality is the power generation operation industry. It used to be semi-militarized management. Self-confidence, honesty, initiative and professionalism are exactly the styles we should advocate and carry forward. For us, no matter what we do, no matter what kind of job we are in, we should remember our responsibilities and be responsible for our work. It is not good to use any excuse to justify or prevaricate, and perfect execution does not need any excuse. There is no excuse for reading.
How many people want to change their lives, how many people know that the first thing to change their lives is to get rid of this "excuse", and how many people have really done it? I think there are not no people, but so few that our society lacks the source of social and personal progress. And these "excuses" only meet the needs of three basic levels of society. If we can't refuse those "excuses", the individual's need to realize self-worth may be just a dream. Change these "excuses", maybe we are only one step away from our goal. When we strive for perfection in everything, our mentality and situation will change and our social value will be realized.
There is no excuse for reading.
"No excuses" embodies a belief in loyal service, a standardized and rigorous attitude, a pioneering and innovative spirit and a perfect implementation potential. The reason why West Point Military Academy can cultivate so many outstanding talents is that it takes "no excuses" as the code of conduct for students, which makes the students of West Point Military Academy show good team spirit and cooperation potential in any group. Because they have a strong sense of responsibility, honor and discipline, they become trustworthy and responsible people.
After reading "No Excuses", I am deeply touched by my own ideas, and I can't help asking myself, how do I treat my work in my environment and team? When answering the leader's question, are there four other answers to my question? It is after reading this book that I can calm down and face up to and think about what my usual code of conduct and philosophy are. From the way of thinking, working methods to specific working materials, I think this is not only a summary of our experience, but also a rare opportunity to correct our mistakes.
It seems that it has become our habit to make excuses first when encountering problems, which slowly erodes our honesty and self-confidence, our enthusiasm and intention, our sense of responsibility and crisis. "No Excuses" taught me that no matter what kind of task I receive or what kind of difficulties I encounter, I should try my best to complete it, instead of shrinking and shirking when I encounter difficulties. I not only have to face difficulties, but also have the spirit of pioneering and innovation, strong perseverance and the belief of winning, in order to complete the task. It taught me how to adapt to the pressure and turn it into motivation, instead of making excuses for not completing the task. It allows me to accumulate rich experience in the process of trying to complete my tasks again and again, and also makes me feel a sense of accomplishment after successfully completing my tasks again and again. The experience and process of these jobs have made me more confident and optimistic, which not only inspired my internal value and potential, but also made this value and potential constantly exercised and improved.
In fact, no one knocked you down. Only you can beat you. People should not be pessimistic when they are alive. As long as they have the courage to deal with it, there will be no obstacles in life. No matter what the situation, even in desperate circumstances, it is hard to say that it is impossible. They should believe in themselves and eventually surpass themselves.
"Effective execution" is a culture with rich connotations, and it is a code of conduct and values used to guide us to achieve various working methods and goals. To establish "effective execution", we must take this culture as the guide, deeply root this concept in the hearts of every member of the masses, and realize it through long-term efforts.
Don't make excuses for not completing the task, even if it seems reasonable. The process of trying your best to complete any task and not stopping until you reach the goal is not only a process of training and cultivating the execution potential, but also a process of evaluating and understanding the execution potential. If we can't bravely understand the task, try our best to complete the task and make excuses, it will inevitably affect the decision-making on the implementation potential, thus affecting the realization of the implementation goal.
Mao Zedong said, "If you are afraid of the world, what are you afraid of? Really? In short, the * * * production party is the most serious. " As a qualified civil servant, he should make no excuses in his work, carry forward the spirit of Tan postman and turn his work into an art. As the book says, "We should go beyond the employment relationship in our work, shoulder the sense of responsibility and mission of the team with a grateful heart, and make our own contribution to our employees"!
There is no excuse for reading.
In life, work and study, we often have some excuses, and even get used to it. Maybe we are used to this kind of "excuse" and being explained by others. We are used to using these excuses to explain the difficulties we encounter in our study, work and life. Perhaps this way has been regarded as a normal state, even a state of mind, in fact, this is an excuse to escape difficulties.
After reading the book No Excuses, I can't help feeling a little more and more ashamed. How many tasks and moments have been delayed under the pretext of indulgence and carelessness? We should know our responsibilities and do every seemingly trivial thing well in order to win greater success!
In our daily work, we meet too many "this is impossible" and "that is impossible" people. We often hear all kinds of excuses, "I didn't study", "I really can't finish this task" and "I would have arrived if it hadn't rained". In fact, behind every excuse, there are a lot of subtext, but we are embarrassed to say it or even don't want to say it at all. Excuses enable us to temporarily avoid difficulties and responsibilities and gain psychological comfort. However, excuses are extremely expensive, and they do us no less harm than any other bad habit. What we lack is the kind of person who tries his best to finish the task, not making excuses. It is the kind of person who sends the letter to Garcia, and the kind of person who can faithfully complete the tasks entrusted by his superiors without any excuses or complaints.
Don't let excuses become your habit. No matter what conditions, we should treat work unconditionally, regard work as a duty, not an obligation, and only try to find ways for success without making excuses for failure. If we compare the company to a game of chess, our employees are fighting with each other. In their respective posts, they perform their duties, develop their strengths and do their best. In order to win the whole game of chess, we should fight together so as to win the final victory. In our daily work, every employee is a chess piece. For the overall work situation and objectives and tasks of the unit, every employee shoulders the mission, and for the overall interests and personal interests of the work unit, every employee bears his own tasks and responsibilities, and is duty-bound.
Taking my post as an example, it is my duty to serve every driver in the company and do everything for them! However, it is not enough to finish the task tightly at work. We need to improve the quality. We need to work with enthusiasm to make our work more perfect! Take work as your own career and concentrate on doing things "best". Enthusiastic and dedicated working attitude has an invisible appeal, which leaves a deep impression on colleagues around and constitutes an upward working atmosphere. However, the cold and negative work attitude will spread to every corner like a plague, which will greatly reduce the combat effectiveness of the whole team. Therefore, in the process of work, you should learn to adjust your state carefully, so that you can always be in a good working state. Enthusiasm for work can make people treat work as a pleasure, take it seriously, do small things well, find opportunities in the details of doing things, and thus embark on the road to success. People who lack enthusiasm for their work can only perfunctory things and regard work as a kind of hard work. They can only do the work assigned to them by others forever, and they don't have to do it well. Selfless professionalism is to treat work wholeheartedly. Each of us has the responsibility, obligation and responsibility to do every job well, so we should all do our part. A person's professionalism and sense of responsibility determine whether he can finish his work better. An irresponsible person, even if he has potential, can't create more value for the unit.
"Everyone should cherish their freedom, choice and responsibility, and show their strength and wisdom in their choices and responsibilities, and reap the joy of their own creation. Linking work with happiness and choosing passion is to choose perfection. "
"No excuses" reflects a person's upward attitude towards life. Each of us has necessary obligations to work, family, relatives and friends, and it is precisely because of such obligations that we can restrain our behavior. Making excuses is to pass on one's responsibility to society or others, and the responsibility will disappear with excuses. Nothing is impossible, as long as we don't make excuses in front of us, we can do everything well and do our duty completely.
Excuses are a bad habit. Once we get into the habit of making excuses, our work will become procrastinating and inefficient, and our life will become negative, and eventually we will accomplish nothing. All work is made up of small things, and a person who is not responsible for small things can't stand big things. As the book says, "There are no excuses in work, no excuses in life, no excuses for failure, and success does not belong to those who make excuses.
Therefore, there is no excuse to treat work, and you must have enough enthusiasm. Go to work with enthusiasm!
There is no excuse for reading.
At first glance, even I was a little surprised: what is a perfect life? Is there a perfect life? From a philosophical point of view, there will never be 100% perfection in the world. However, if you don't have a correct outlook on life, a consistent and indomitable attitude towards life, and nothing to pursue, then you can't even find a trace of "perfection" in your own life track. Such a life is undoubtedly a cowardly life and a failed life.
"No excuses" is the most important code of conduct pursued by the United States Military Academy at West Point for 200 years. It emphasizes that every student tries his best to complete any task, rather than making excuses for not completing the task, even if it seems reasonable. It embodies a responsible professionalism, an obedient and honest attitude and a perfect implementation potential. And these excellent qualities are exactly what we lack. Consciously adhere to this concept and practice it as a "foundation", which is the most precious motto, not only for your own work, but even for your own life. As far as this benefit is concerned, the book "No Excuses" given to us by the bureau leaders is really too important and timely!
In the dead of night, open the book and ponder every word carefully. Always compare your words and deeds and ask yourself again and again: How much have I done? How many gaps are there? Since I came to work in the bureau, my character is that I feel diligent and energetic after serving as a deputy. What is the effect of my work? Did you successfully complete the assigned task and send the letter to Garcia? The actual answer is "no". In a lot of work, there is a lack of a responsible attitude, a determination to follow through and a spirit of pursuing perfection. They don't look for the root cause and crux from themselves, but move out one excuse or another to prevaricate their superiors and excuse themselves in order to achieve the so-called psychological balance; The office has a wide range of work points and complicated affairs, and there are many "trivial things" that cannot be said. To be fair, I didn't meet the requirements of perfection in these things. Therefore, in my future work, study and life, I will take "no excuses" as the motto, always encourage myself and demand myself to keep up with the needs of the overall work in terms of implementation potential, so that I can be worthy of the trust of the leaders and the support of my colleagues and my own work.
First, remember your responsibilities and refuse excuses. People in the world, whether they are children, husbands, fathers or people engaged in a certain occupation, all have an identity and a protagonist. Since we have assumed this leading role, we must take all the responsibilities that this leading role needs without hesitation, without making excuses or procrastinating. In particular, the work assigned by the organization should be carried out completely and thoroughly, precisely because it is one's duty and one's own business to do well, and there is no room for delay and negotiation.
Second, work hard and never give up. This year, the bureau leaders put forward the requirement of "omniscient and omniscient" to the office, which is the central organization of the overall situation. If you make a mistake in any small matter and give up halfway in any difficult matter, it may lead to a big mistake and have a bad impact on the overall work. Therefore, you must have high standards and strict requirements, and do every "little thing" diligently and solidly; Do everything possible to accomplish every "difficult thing", be diligent and dedicated, be a good supporting role, and take every step of your own in constant efforts and innovation.
Third, embrace loyalty and work hard. In my opinion, "loyalty" is a more valuable accomplishment than "potential". In today's society, labor or work is not only a means for everyone to make a living, but also a carrier to realize their ideals and ambitions and reflect their self-worth. Embracing loyalty is not only loyalty to the country and organization, but also loyalty to self. To do this, we should regard work as an important part of life, feel and care with our heart, share joys and sorrows with it, and be inseparable, and enjoy unique fun by completing one task after another.
Fourth, learn to be grateful and learn to be spontaneous. There is a festival in the west called "Thanksgiving Day", the purpose of which is to make everyone grateful to God, to nature, to society, to cherish what they have now and to return sincerely. For us, the grace of nurturing, the grace of teaching, the grace of cultivating, the grace of knowing what is happening, and so on. These "favors" have made us realize the true feelings of the world and enhanced our confidence in overcoming difficulties. However, we can't just enjoy what we don't feel, have what we don't cherish and get what we don't pay. In that case, the word "person" will be incomplete and difficult to stand. For work, too, we should always thank the organization for the job opportunities, cherish the peaceful and comfortable life we have, and strive to make spontaneous and sincere returns with our own practical actions. The ancients said: the grace of dripping water should be reported as spring. This is a question that I should always ask myself.
There is no excuse for reading.
"Yes, sir!" "No, sir!" We often hear it when we watch movies in American military camps. The momentum of their answers was impressive, and the soldiers did not seem to hesitate at all, which coincided with the concept of self-responsibility, courage to take responsibility, no excuses and full implementation expressed in No Excuses. "No excuses" is the most important code of conduct pursued by the United States Military Academy at West Point for 200 years. It emphasizes that every student tries his best to complete any task, rather than making excuses for not completing the task, even if it seems reasonable. It is precisely because there are so many graduates from West Point Military Academy that they have made extraordinary achievements in their respective fields.
Unfortunately, in life and work, we often hear excuses of one kind or another, telling us why we can't do something or can't do it well. They all seem to be reasonable explanations, grandiose and magnificent. There are excuses for not doing things well, excuses for not completing tasks, and excuses are everywhere as long as you have the heart to find them. I spent precious time and energy on how to find the right excuse, but forgot my duties and responsibilities. The essence of excuses is to shirk responsibility, and excuses cover up our lack of confidence in overcoming difficulties; Camouflage is that we don't have enough endurance; The disguise is that we dare not be responsible for ourselves. When we don't have the courage to tell others that I can't do it, and we don't want to hear others say that we can't do it, we will naturally look for reasons and use these reasons to lead the development and change of things to a track that seems to conform to the logic of change, so we have an "excuse" to get out of it.
The harm of excuses is enormous. It will gradually erode our honesty and self-confidence, our enthusiasm and intention, our sense of responsibility and crisis, and crush the cohesion and fighting capacity of the whole masses from the inside. Therefore, we must resolutely abandon the attitude towards "excuses". By reading the book No Excuses, I deeply realized the following points:
1. Duty is the basis of doing things.
There are many things you can't help doing in this world, and this is your duty. Responsibility is a sacred word. It is not a frivolous promise, but an oath that people make and put into action. There is an invisible connection network in the society that connects us closely, and people in different positions also have different responsibilities to bear.
In real life and work, everyone shoulders a responsibility. As far as work is concerned, we are asked to do our best to finish it. We need to constantly study hard in our work, constantly reflect on ourselves, enrich ourselves, and create value for the masses and ourselves. Life is endless, struggle is endless, pioneering and enterprising is an attitude towards work and life, and it is also a duty to the masses. It is inevitable to encounter such problems at work. When you encounter problems and difficulties, you should take the initiative to find ways to solve them, instead of making excuses to avoid responsibility. We must firmly believe that there are always more methods than problems!
People with a sense of responsibility, no matter what position they are in, will consciously realize their responsibilities. With a conscious sense of responsibility, in my own eyes, small things are no longer an excuse for slacking off, and difficulties are no longer an excuse for retreating. You will tighten your nerves and devote yourself to your work, resulting in a thoughtful and satisfactory work effect.
Second, firmly believe in the power of goals.
Nowadays, many people are overwhelmed by daily chores and trifles every day, tired of coping, confused and mediocre, and lead a aimless life. Unconsciously led by the external environment, rather than by goals and dreams, such a life is doomed to stay away from excitement and success.
As the book says, "in the process of shaping life, setting goals is more important than having talent." People who have no direction in the desert can only spin around in vain, and people who have no goal in life can only repeat their mediocre life in boredom. For people in the desert, a new life begins in the chosen direction; For real people, a new life begins with setting goals. Just as air is to life, goals are absolutely necessary for success. Goals determine the way and direction of a person's growth. General Patton described in the book has set a clear goal for himself since he was 7 years old: to become a brigadier general. He saluted his father like a soldier every morning, eagerly read the biographies of great soldiers, studied war plans and strategies, worked hard towards his life goals, and finally became the commander-in-chief of the US Army. His success depends not on anyone's kindness, but on honesty, hard work and every effort to achieve his goal.
There is no doubt that macro life goals are very important for success. Similarly, we also need many small goals to manage our life and work. Calm down and think about your inner dreams and desires and the state you want to achieve in the near future. For example, you usually have a lot of writing workload, feel a little hard, and want to improve your writing level; Sitting at my desk all day, my body is getting bloated due to lack of exercise, and I want to have a strong body and a tangible figure. These are my sincere wishes and needs. Understand this, and then put these goals into the short-term plan, what to arrange every day, what to arrange every week, write the goals on paper, and write them in your own consciousness, and overcome laziness and excuses with perseverance and become the person you want to be.
Three. Improve attitude and enthusiasm
At the same time and place every day, dealing with the same working environment and repeating the same work for many days in a row, most people will feel bored, thus feeling physically and mentally exhausted, which will affect their work enthusiasm and efficiency. The book says: whether a job is interesting or boring depends entirely on our attitude rather than the task itself; At work, it is your attitude rather than your potential that determines the height you can reach; A serious attitude and high enthusiasm will protect and strengthen your expectations and dreams.
Enthusiasm is like fire, which can ignite people's potential and make all wisdom and advantages fully shine. Enthusiastic people have motivation, can produce intention, and with intention, they will take the initiative to do it. When doing what you want to do, a person will continue to maintain a high degree of sobriety, mobilize every cell in his body, use his brains to find ways, go all out, make no excuses, overcome all difficulties and achieve his goal.
