The establishment of ideals and beliefs is not a spontaneous process, but the result of conscious efforts. To establish lofty ideals and beliefs, young college students must first understand and make choices about the ideals and beliefs themselves.

(1) The meaning and characteristics of ideal

1. The meaning of ideal

The word "ideal" originally comes from the Greek "ideal", which means It is the goal of life. In ancient China, ideals were called "Zhi", which means aspirations. Confucius said, "Three armies can seize the power, but one man cannot seize the ambition." Today, ideals, in a general sense, are people’s yearning and pursuit for future society and their own development that are formed in practice and are possible to achieve. It is a concentrated expression of people’s world outlook, outlook on life, and values ??in their goals of struggle. .

What is the ideal? After reading this poem, students may have a new understanding of the connotation of ideals.

Ideal - Liusha River

Ideal is a stone, knocking out a spark; Ideal is a fire, igniting an extinguished lamp;

Ideal is a lamp, illuminating Light the way to travel at night; ideals are the road, leading you to the dawn.

In an era of hunger and cold, the ideal is food and clothing; in an era of food and clothing, the ideal is civilization;

In an era of chaos, the ideal is stability; in a stable era, the ideal is prosperity.

Ideals are pearls, connected one by one; connecting the past and the present, linking the future, with endless radiance;

A beautiful chain of pearls, the backbone of history; the past illuminates the present, The present reflects the past, and the ancestors reflect the descendants.

The ideal is a compass, guiding the direction of the ship; the ideal is the ship, carrying you on a long journey to the sea;

But sometimes the ideal is the arc of the sea and the sky kissing each other. The hopelessness and elusiveness torture your enterprising spirit.

Ideals make you observe life with a smile; ideals make you stubbornly resist fate;

Ideals make you forget your premature gray hair; ideals make you still naive with gray hair.

Ideal is an alarm clock, knocking your golden dream to pieces. Ideal is soap, washing away your selfish heart.

Ideal is both a kind of gain, and ideal is also a kind of sacrifice. If ideals bring you honor, it is only a by-product of it, but more of a misunderstood loneliness, laughter in loneliness, and bitterness in laughter.

Ideals make loyal people often suffer misfortunes; ideals make unfortunate people survive in desperate situations.

Ordinary people become great because they have ideals, and a person with ideals is a "capital person".

There are always people in the world who have abandoned their ideals, but ideals never abandon anyone. They give new life to sinners. Ideals are the immortal grass that revives souls; they call prodigal sons back, and ideals are loving mothers.

Don’t be resentful if your ideal has been tarnished; it’s the devil testing your steadfastness; if your ideal has been stolen, don’t cry; find it back quickly and be careful in the future.

Heroes lose their ideals and turn into mediocre people; they brag about their achievements in the past disgustingly; mediocre people lose their ideals and live in mediocrity, ridiculously cursing the environment in front of them.

When ideals bloom, peaches and plums will bear fruit; when ideals sprout, there must be heavy shade when they are touted; please ride on the horse of ideals and set off from there with a crack of whip. The spring scenery is just right on the road and the sun is clear in the sky.

The importance of ideals and beliefs to the growth and success of college students

If society is the sea and life is a boat, then ideals are the beacon for navigation and beliefs are the sails for advancement. A life without ideals and beliefs is like a boat that has lost its direction and motivation, drifting everywhere in the waves of life, and may even sink in the rapids. The college era is the prime time of life. The lofty ideals and lofty beliefs will help a generation of promising young people to raise the sail of life and open up and explore a new voyage in life.

(1) The role of ideals and beliefs

1. Guide the goal of life.

Russian writer Leo Tolstoy said that ideals are guiding stars. Without ideals, there is no firm direction, and without direction, there is no real life.

In 1910, Mao Zedong's father Mao Shunsheng asked him to go into business, but Mao Zedong was determined to leave Shaoshan and continue his studies. After his own efforts and the unanimous persuasion of relatives, friends, and teachers, his father agreed to his request.

On the eve of leaving home to study at Dongshan Higher Primary School in Xiangxiang County, Mao Zedong wrote a "Poetry for Father", which was included in the account book that his father read every day. This is:

The child is determined to leave his hometown,

He vows not to return the favor until he succeeds in his studies.

There is no need for a graveyard to bury the bones.

There are green hills everywhere in life.

This poem is a manifesto for the young Mao Zedong to leave his hometown and rush to the outside world. It shows his lofty ambitions to have the world in mind and aim everywhere.

2. Provide motivation for life.

In history, all those who have contributed to the cause of human progress have overcome various difficulties and achieved success inspired by lofty ideals. Li Shizhen traveled all over the green mountains, tasted all kinds of herbs, and wrote "Compendium of Materia Medica"; Marx worked hard for 40 years, read 1,500 kinds of books, and wrote "Das Kapital". As Gorky said, the higher the goal a person pursues, the faster his talents develop and the more beneficial it is to society. Deng Xiaoping once said: "Why were we able to struggle through very difficult circumstances in the past and overcome all difficulties and dangers to achieve victory in the revolution? It is because we have ideals, Marxist beliefs, and communist beliefs." "In During our most difficult period, the ideal of communism was our spiritual pillar, and how many people sacrificed for this ideal."

3. Improve the spiritual realm of life.

Shakespeare said that in the prime of his life, a man only knows how to eat and sleep. He is nothing but an animal. Marx said, "Real people = the thinking human spirit."

Ideals and beliefs are the core of the human spiritual world. Whether you have ideals and beliefs, and what kind of ideals and beliefs you have, determines whether your life is noble and fulfilling, or vulgar and empty. Pursuing lofty ideals and firming up lofty beliefs are the spiritual pillars and driving force for college students to grow healthily, achieve careers, create lives, and create a future.

1. Guide college students on what kind of person they should be

Among the four goals of new people with ideals, ethics, culture, and discipline, having ideals should be placed in a prominent position, and doing Who is a person is a life issue that students face in their study and life.

2. Guide college students on which path to take

During college, students generally face a series of life issues. The solution to these problems requires a general principle and goal, which requires Establish the lofty ideals and beliefs of science.

3. Inspire college students to learn why they study

For contemporary college students, the question of why they study is closely related to the question of which path to take and who to be. Students should connect their personal aspirations with the destiny of the motherland and nation, so that the flowers of ideals and beliefs can bear fruitful fruits of success. Section 2 Establish Scientific Ideals and Beliefs Ideals and beliefs are the deep core of people’s spiritual world. The presence or absence of ideals and beliefs is like a watershed, which not only distinguishes humans from animals, but also distinguishes a noble and fulfilling life from a vulgar and empty life. Those who are ambitious set long-term ambitions, and those who have no ambitions are always determined. Life requires establishing scientific ideals and beliefs. To establish scientific ideals and beliefs, we must first strengthen our Marxist beliefs, and we must also correctly understand the dialectical and unified relationship between personal ideals and social ideals, communist ideals and lofty ideals. 1. Establish the communist ideal of socialism with Chinese characteristics

1. Firm trust in the Communist Party of China

The Communist Party of China is the foundation of the Chinese working class The vanguard is also the vanguard of the Chinese people and the Chinese nation and the core leadership of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics. The leadership position of the Communist Party of China was formed by history and was the choice of the Chinese people in a long and arduous struggle. Upholding the leadership of the Communist Party of China is a rational choice made by far-sighted people and the general public in modern China in the process of continuous exploration. It is the logical "reason" of historical development.

2. Firm belief in taking the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics

The socialist system is the path chosen by the Communist Party of China to lead the people of the country and is the logic of China’s social development. reason".

3. Firm confidence in realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation

The Chinese nation is a great nation with a long history. Over the course of thousands of years, it has created a very brilliant civilization. It has made universally recognized important contributions to human development and progress. The Communist Party of China bravely shoulders the solemn mission of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. The party united and led the people of all ethnic groups in the country to complete the historical tasks of national independence and people's liberation, laying the most important basic prerequisite for realizing national rejuvenation. After many years of development since the founding of New China, especially in recent years, my country's socialist construction has achieved great achievements that have attracted worldwide attention. The great rejuvenation of the nation requires generations of Chinese sons and daughters to work hard and work together. 2. Establish the belief in Marxism

Marxism is the ideological system for the proletariat and the people to strive for their own liberation. Be convinced of the correctness of this theory, use this theory to arm your mind, and establish a scientific Faith is an important prerequisite for young college students to realize their life ideals in practice.

The scientific nature of Marxist beliefs:

1. Marxism is scientific and noble

2. Marxism has lasting vitality

3. Marxism takes transforming the world as its own mission. Section 3 builds a bridge to the other side of the ideal. The ideal is beautiful, but it can neither be formed spontaneously nor realized spontaneously. If you want to have an ideal, you must deeply identify with it; if you want to realize your ideal, you must work hard to pursue it. Firm belief, persistent pursuit, and unremitting struggle are the bridge to the other side of your ideal. 1. Aim high and start with one step

1. Aim high

In traditional Chinese culture, especially in the philosophy of life, "ambition" is very important. The word "ambition" has two meanings: one is to establish a goal and direction; the other is to pursue it with tenacious will. It can be seen that "ambition" means ideals and beliefs. To establish ideals and beliefs is to "determine." Zhuge Liang said: "Aspirations should be high." Su Shi, a writer in the Song Dynasty, said, "Those who accomplished great things in ancient times not only had extraordinary talents, but also had perseverance." Numerous facts throughout the ages have proven that in youth, Establishing lofty ambitions is the key to subsequent career success.

2. Aspire to do great things

Sun Yat-sen once said, aspire to do great things, not to be a high official.

3. Determination must be carried out

"The tree that embraces each other is born from the smallest grain, the nine-story platform starts from tired soil, and a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." To achieve the lofty goal Ideals should start from me, from now on, and from ordinary work. Ambition requires steps, step by step, and down-to-earth implementation, one step at a time, to prevent it from falling through. 2. Recognize the long-term, arduous and tortuous nature of realizing your ideals

In the process of pursuing your ideals, you need to have a correct understanding and attitude. Misunderstandings and biased attitudes in terms of ideals and beliefs will influence people's actions in pursuing their ideals, thus affecting the realization of their ideals. Therefore, it is very necessary to fully understand the long-term, arduous and tortuous nature of realizing the ideal, and to pursue the ideal with the correct understanding and attitude.

To correctly treat the good times and adversities in the process of realizing your ideals, Lao Tzu said, "Misfortune lies where blessings depend, and misfortune lies behind." Zhang Haidi said that if there are 100 failures and setbacks, there will be 101 times of struggle and pursuit. 3. Turn ideals into reality in practice

Ideals are formed in practice and can only be realized in practice. After the ideal is established, it is time to put it into action.

First of all, we must handle the dialectical relationship between ideal and reality: ideal and reality are a pair of contradictions, and they are a unity of opposites. Faced with the contradiction and conflict between ideals and reality, it is not advisable to give up or lower your ideals. Doing so can only make people passive and mediocre, and is not an option for a promising young man. Only by adhering to lofty ideals and changing reality to make reality develop in the direction of ideals is the correct way to correctly resolve the contradiction between ideals and reality. Courage to practice and hard work are the fundamental ways to realize ideals. Feuerbach once said that the transition from ideals to reality has its place only in practical philosophy. Teaching summary:

College students must not only have solid basic knowledge and professional knowledge, but also establish lofty ideals and firm beliefs, correctly handle the relationship between individuals and society, and turn their ideals into achievements in the practice of serving the country. Reality.

Problem exploration:

In some colleges and universities, some college students have a crisis of faith. They are biased against ideals, play with ideals, treat ideals as "benefit ideas", and think that "ideals are not good". Ideal, think about benefits. "It is better to talk about benefits than to talk about ideals."

Ideals are the goals pursued in life, and beliefs are the spiritual motivation of life. As contemporary college students, we must demand progress. And warns us that the greatest emptiness in life is spiritual emptiness. Therefore, as young intellectuals, in terms of pursuit of life, we must first pursue knowledge and truth. This is the most important pursuit of young intellectuals. Only by constantly seeking truth can we achieve real progress; secondly, in the process of pursuit of life, , we must maintain noble pursuits and abandon the pursuit of low-level tastes. First, we must learn to be a human being. Whether it is students who want to join the party or ordinary students, they must learn this. Only those who know how to be a social person can establish lofty ideals; second, they must learn to learn. The ideal spirit we should have when studying at university is that we should know how to master learning methods and techniques, and develop the habit of lifelong learning. University teaching teaches you to "fish" rather than gives you "fish".

1. Ideal Ideal is a person's yearning and pursuit of goals that may be achieved in the future, or it is the subjective image of things and people that a person yearns for or wants to imitate. An ideal is a goal that a person pursues and strives for. For example, when you ask a middle school student about his ideal, his answer may be that he will become a scientist, engineer, or writer in the future. Scientists, engineers, and writers are the goals and objects that middle school students actively yearn for and pursue. These goals and objects embody the personal wishes of middle school students and guide their direction and future. Here, ideals are related to a person's wishes and are a vision of the future. They are not directly related to current actions.

But ideals and real life are connected. If certain objects and phenomena in real life meet personal needs and are consistent with the personal world view, these realistic factors will be expressed in personal ideals and forms. The ideal will always be It is a process of reprocessing real life, discarding some components and emphasizing some factors, but it must be based on the understanding of objective laws and conform to objective laws. For example, when a film director creates an ideal character, this character is not only the director's reprocessing and re-selection of real-life characters to make this character conform to the director's wishes; but this character must also conform to objective laws and the real life environment. Otherwise, this character will become "Gao Daquan" on the surface and "fake Daquan" in reality, and it is impossible to truly become a typical character with blood, flesh and personality. Judging from the content of a person's ideals, they can be divided into two categories: personal ideals and social ideals. Personal ideals are assumptions and hopes for a personal future, including career ideals, moral ideals, life and family ideals; social ideals are the pursuit and yearning for a beautiful social system. Personal ideals and social ideals are interrelated. Social ideals are the highest-level ideals. They are the core of ideals and restrict personal ideals. Personal ideals are also the specific embodiment of social ideals. If a person does not have lofty social ideals and only pursues his own personal ideal that is divorced from social reality, it is not in line with the spirit of the times and is also a low-level ideal; conversely, if he only has social ideals but no personal ideals, it is also empty. , unrealistic. A person's ideals are often formed and developed under the influence of family education, school education and social environment. Generally speaking, as a person grows older, increases knowledge, broadens his horizons, the influence of family, and the influence of school gradually weaken, the influence of society gradually increases, and there are different levels of ideal forms. Some psychological workers in our country divide the ideal form of middle school students into three development levels from a cognitive perspective: one is the primary level, that is, the specific image ideal, which is mainly manifested in lower middle school students; the other is the intermediate level, that is, the comprehensive image ideal , which is mainly manifested in middle school students; one is a higher level, that is, generalized ideals, which is mainly manifested in senior middle school students. In other words, the older and higher the grade of middle school students, the higher their ideal level. As for the development level of ideal tendencies of middle school students, our country's psychologists have divided middle school students' ideals into the following four types through questionnaires, direct conversations, and analytical research: Type 1: The ideals are superficial and vague, with no clear direction and goals. For example, "I don't have any ideas about the future, I just want to live a free life", "It's not clear yet what kind of person I think I want to be", etc. The emergence of this mentality is related to the age, knowledge and physical and mental development level of young people at this stage. Due to their immature thinking and the inability to keep up with their education, they still lack a clear goal of struggle. Category 2: Yearning and looking forward to the future, but not conscious enough and sometimes wavering. For example: "My family and teachers always encourage me to work hard, and I am inspired and encouraged when I see the exemplary deeds of advanced figures, but I shrink back when I encounter difficulties." The mainstream of this type of students' thoughts is upward, but they still lack persistence and Firmness. Category 3: Thinking that the ideal is to find a good career in the future. For example, "I want to go to college in the future and find an ideal job." This type of students connects their ideals with their careers, but often separates their personal goals from the future of the country and the interests of the people. This requires Strengthen education on political and ideological work and outlook on life. Category 4: Have lofty ideals, organically combine personal interests with the interests of the country, and be able to work hard on the ground. For example, among many high school students who are about to graduate, the idea of ??accepting the choice of the motherland and obeying the arrangements of the motherland can be established. This type of students has a relatively high level of understanding and their ideals are more in line with the spirit of the times. Facts have shown that the vast majority of middle school students have lofty ideals, which reflects that the mainstream of middle school students is healthy and progressive.

2. Belief Belief refers to a person's personality tendency that firmly believes in the correctness of a certain point of view and governs his or her actions. Faith is a conscious ideological tendency that motivates a person to act in accordance with one's own opinions, principles and world view. It is a person's direction of efforts and struggles determined through careful consideration based on one's own life content and accumulated knowledge in long-term practical activities. Target. Faith has a sense of firmness. Countless revolutionary martyrs firmly believe that only socialism and communism can save China and enable the Chinese people to get rid of exploitation and oppression and live a happy life. So socialism and communism became their beliefs, and they were unswerving and persistent for this, even if they sacrificed their lives for it. The martyrdom poem of the revolutionary martyr Xia Minghan "It doesn't matter if you behead, as long as the doctrine is true, kill Xia Minghan, and there will be others who come after you", which reflects the unswerving belief in communism of this generation of revolutionaries. Faith also has a sense of stability. Generally speaking, belief indicates a person's stable, long-term view and recognition of the direction of social development, the laws of nature, and a theoretical perspective, and shows great enthusiasm and deep feelings about it. Only when a person has a firm belief can his personality be proactive and positive; people who lack belief often have a vague personality, their actions tend to swing left and right, and they are prone to deviations in politics and actions. In the current complex international situation, drastic changes in the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, and the temporary low ebb of the socialist movement, some people have experienced a "crisis of faith" and have doubts about the future and destiny of socialism. Under this situation, it has become an urgent political task to educate middle school students and the entire young generation to establish a firm belief in socialism and consciously restrain the corrosion of bourgeois ideology. Only by firmly establishing socialist and communist beliefs for this generation of middle school students and teenagers can they have the right goals, clear direction, firm actions, and consciously shoulder the historical responsibility of training themselves to be successors to the socialist cause. .

3. World view World view is a person’s fundamental view of the entire world. World view is based on a person’s scientific, systematic and rich understanding of nature, life, society and spirit. It includes the view of nature. , social outlook, outlook on life, values. A worldview is not just about understanding issues, but also includes firm beliefs and positive actions. For example, the communist worldview includes not only the understanding and knowledge of communism, but also the belief in communism and the spirit of struggle and positive actions to realize communism. The worldview has a distinct class character, and different classes will have different worldviews: the bourgeois worldview is to maintain the capitalist system of exploitation; the proletarian worldview is to overthrow the bourgeois system of exploitation and establish a more just, reasonable, and equal society. ism and the communist system. The bourgeois worldview believes in the philosophy of idealism and metaphysics; the proletarian worldview believes in the Marxist philosophy of dialectical materialism and historical materialism. These two worldviews are always in constant struggle, always in opposition to each other. As a person, the worldview is always organically linked to his ideals and beliefs. The worldview is always at the highest level, dominating and guiding the ideals and beliefs. At the same time, the worldview is also the highest level of personality tendency. It is the highest regulator of human behavior, restricting a person's entire psychological outlook and directly affecting a person's personality and quality. It can be said that worldview determines a person's values ????and outlook on life. Values ??refer to the evaluation of people's needs for objective things. They include views on people's survival and meaning of life, that is, their outlook on life. They belong to the category of personality tendencies. Values ??have a wide meaning, ranging from the basic value orientation of life to personal attitudes towards specific things. Outlook on life is considered to be the fundamental view on the meaning and purpose of life. Whether a person's world view is correct will directly affect his values ????and outlook on life.

At present, it is very important for middle school students to have a correct world outlook, values, and outlook on life education, which is a prerequisite for cultivating their good personality and quality. As a contemporary middle school student, it is not enough to have good academic performance. You must also grasp the objective laws of world development, establish correct values, deeply understand the meaning and purpose of life, and establish the ambition to study hard and be proactive for the motherland and nation. . Only in this way can we cultivate our good personality and quality, adapt to the needs of talents in the 21st century, and display our talents and contribute to the cause of realizing the "four modernizations" of socialism.

It is of great significance to understand and master the content and knowledge of personality tendencies, establish a correct world view and lofty ideals for contemporary middle school students, develop good personality qualities, and determine values ??and outlook on life that meet the requirements of the socialist era. is obvious and cannot be underestimated.
