The philosophical principle of dialectical unity.
Many people often only know how to "pull the cart with your head down" or "look up at the road", ignoring the rule of success: success = bury your head in the cart + look up at the road. The two are dialectically unified. Directional mistakes are the biggest mistakes in life.
In real life, there are many people who work hard, and their hardships are no less than others, and they shed far more sweat than their peers; but whenever they reap rewards, they gain little or even nothing. . When efforts are not proportional to gains, don't complain first, but first review whether you are looking at the road ahead.
Extended information
1. Looking up at the road is to avoid detours and wrong paths. "Learn from the rise and fall of the past, and examine the gains and losses of today" is a famous saying in "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", which means looking at the paths of predecessors and correcting your own. Young officers and soldiers grow up and exercise in the army. They refer to the growth path of their comrades around them, learn the growth path of heroes and models, and understand the success paths of Chinese and foreign celebrities. This is of great help in choosing their own growth path.
Different people have different understandings of the road. As the saying goes, "Looking at the side, there are ridges and peaks, and the heights are different from near to far." You cannot regard other people's roads as your own. After all, everyone is different. The same; you cannot regard other people's paths as your own pressure, causing jealousy or cowardice; you cannot attribute other people's paths to external circumstances and ignore subjective efforts.
2. Working hard refers to a person’s work attitude and hard-working spirit. Having the right direction, aiming at the end point, and seeing the road signs are only an important part of becoming a talent. What is more important is to have a work attitude of being diligent, hardworking, loyal to duty, and hardworking, and have a mental state that is not afraid of hardship, is willing to endure hardship, and is indomitable. .
Difficulties will inevitably arise on the growth path of young officers and soldiers. They must treat their personal abilities correctly, make use of their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, and be down-to-earth in order to pull a heavy vehicle. They should not be too ambitious. We must be mentally prepared to endure hardships and hard work. "The sharp edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from bitter cold."
