A good horse can take risks, but its field is not as good as that of an ox. A strong car can carry a load, but it is better to sail across the river.

-"Speech at the National Organizational Work Conference" and other articles quoted.

■ explanation

Comrade * * * has always stressed that to use cadres scientifically and rationally, we should do what we can. Indeed, everyone has different characteristics, different characteristics and different specialties. The key is long, not strong and short; It is not strong enough to do anything for others. Zhuge Liang misused Ma Su so that he lost his street pavilion, Zhao misused Zhao Kuo, the son of a famous soldier, and lost the battle of Changping, all because he used the wrong person and chose the wrong materials. Comrade * * * once pointed out that the two most important things for leading cadres are making decisions and using cadres. Cadres should not be matched with each other, should not be determined by personal likes and dislikes, but should be used appropriately. Who to use, in what position, should proceed from the needs of the work, and select people by things, not simply using positions as a means of rewarding cadres. But in reality, in some places, when it comes to specific people, it is often only based on seniority and whose turn it is, according to seniority and balance, not on who is better and more suitable, who is not competent for his position and who is not good at his job. As a result, cadres have worked hard, and many problems have piled up, making it difficult to open up the situation in their work.

-(Qing) Gu Sixie's Miscellaneous Xing

■ explanation

Gu Sixie (1665— 1722) was a poet in the Kangxi period of Qing Dynasty. He left many poems, but the most praised and widely quoted is this philosophical poem "Miscellaneous Xing". This poem is short, pithy and profound, revealing the dialectical truth that everything has advantages and disadvantages, and everyone has his own strengths and weaknesses. Therefore, we should use materials, learn from their strengths and avoid their shortcomings.

"A good horse can take risks, and its fields are not as good as cattle. It is better to cross the river by boat, vividly telling people that "the feet are short and the inches are long." There is no generalist in the world, and genius is not as good as ordinary people. Only by seeing clearly your own advantages and disadvantages, advantages and disadvantages, strengths and weaknesses, can you find the correct life coordinates and win success. The length of the house is short, and even the cleverest person will be stretched out. Therefore, the author puts forward: "raw materials are expensive and applicable, but fortunately the requirements are not high." "Talent is expensive, don't be too demanding. They can be appointed as long as they have the corresponding talents. Too demanding and demanding will only shut out a large number of talents.
