Thinking about labor and labor spirit

July 13, 2021? Tuesday? Qujing? Sunny to cloudy

? Today’s video listened to Professor Qiao Dong’s "The Spirit of Model Workers, the Spirit of Labor, and the Excellent Sleeves of Workers in the New Era" The lecture "New Connotation and New Positioning" was quite inspiring.

The spirit of model workers and ministers are benchmarks and role models, which should be learned and carried forward with great fanfare, so I won’t go into details. Let’s talk about labor and labor spirit.

? Labor is a term that is both familiar and unfamiliar to people. It is said to be familiar because people are inseparable from labor every moment; it is said to be unfamiliar because most people do not really understand the true meaning and importance of labor.

? Labor is a process and a state. Labor is measured in time and is a process of unremitting pursuit of ideals.

? The operation of workers in front of machine tools is labor, the farmers hoeing under the scorching sun is labor, the soldiers' uninterrupted patrols are labor, the teachers' consistent guidance all year round is labor, and the students' continuous hard study is labor. Labor...

? Labor is the wind, blowing on the surface of life; labor is water, flowing in the body of life; labor is the sunshine, shining on a healthy soul.

? Labor determines success. "One minute on stage, ten years of hard work off stage." Success requires the accumulation of labor, hard work and sweat. Only through perseverance can we achieve the glory of success.

? The journey of human beings from wilderness to civilization proves that labor created human beings themselves, and all the fruits of human civilization come from labor. Labor is the inexhaustible driving force for human development and progress. Any ideas and practices that despise labor trample on social development and progress and are a stumbling block to social development.

Labor has its own spiritual requirements, which is called the spirit of labor. The four sentences and twelve words of "advocating labor, loving labor, working hard, and working honestly" are the most realistic explanations of the spirit of labor.

? "Advocating labor" means establishing correct labor values ??and fully recognizing that "labor is the most glorious, labor is the greatest, labor is the most noble, and labor is the most beautiful."

? "Love labor" is to cultivate a correct labor attitude and promote workers to work consciously, actively and proactively.

? "Hard work" is a full affirmation of the labor process and its intensity, indicating that the objective laws of labor and the labor intensity to be achieved must be fully followed. Physical labor requires hard work and sweat, and mental work also requires effort. Give your wisdom and effort.

? "Honest labor" is an objective provision for the moral character of workers, indicating that labor must be down-to-earth, truth-seeking, pragmatic, hard-working, and practical.

? People who are working are always moving towards the set goals without distraction. They have the confidence to succeed, the courage to fight, the perseverance to persevere, understand the true meaning of labor and enjoy it. The joy of labor.

An idle student, a teacher who only reads the teachings but has no intention of preparing lessons, a worker who is satisfied with his salary and does not want to make progress, a farmer who only wants to make ends meet and not for a good harvest, a "Buddhist" office worker... …all stand on the negative side of labor and run counter to the spirit of labor.

? Although labor is not prioritized, all ages must have labor consciousness and self-discipline. The elderly should make full use of their residual heat, live and work until they are tired. But it is more important to "work as early as possible". Young people should not waste their time as "homeboys" or "homegirls", but should actively participate in the hot labor of building a new era in the golden period of their lives and maximize their creation. The value of life.
