Thoroughly study and implement the thought and method of dialectical thinking of the Supreme Leader.
Dialectical thinking is a sharp weapon of scientific thought. Comrade Supreme Leader has repeatedly stressed that leading cadres should effectively improve their dialectical thinking ability, be good at using dialectical thinking to plan economic and social development, and set an example for the whole party. Facing the complicated situation under the new normal of economic development and the arduous task of coordinating and promoting the "four comprehensive" strategic layout, it is of great significance for leading cadres to thoroughly study, understand and conscientiously implement the thoughts and methods of dialectical thinking of the supreme leader, so as to enhance the principle, systematicness, foresight and creativity of their work, better perform their leadership duties and promote reform and development.
About retreat and pragmatism
The so-called retreat is to analyze the situation, think about problems, ponder the truth, plan ideas and grasp the future under the guidance of scientific theory. It is a profound understanding of the development law of things and a strategy before making decisions. The so-called pragmatism means using practical measures, doing practical things, seeking practical results, conscientiously implementing every decision and doing everything well.
As for how to deal with the relationship between retreat and pragmatism, the Supreme Leader has made many important expositions, proposing that "leading cadres at all levels should not only be pragmatic, but also be good at retreat, and organically combine pragmatism and retreat", stressing that "China has a land area of 9.6 million square kilometers, 56 ethnic groups and a population of more than 1.3 billion, and its economic development level is not high, and its people’s living standards are not high. It is not easy to govern such a country. At the same time, it must be ambitious and far-sighted. Due to the responsibility and mission, as well as the special work requirements, leading cadres must correctly handle the relationship between retreat and pragmatism, not only be a commander who is good at retreat, but also be down-to-earth and pragmatic. Moreover, the higher the position and the more complicated the responsible work, the more it is necessary to combine retreat with pragmatism.
However, not all leading cadres can correctly handle the relationship between retreat and pragmatism. Some comrades will only "retreat", "talk a thousand miles, and their butts are in the house". They are reasonable and clear-headed, and their ideas are flying, but when faced with practical work and complex problems, they either avoid contradictions and don’t want to do things; Either there is nothing to do or you will not be an officer; What’s more, they cheat, fool superiors and fool the masses. Practice has proved that success comes from hard work and failure begins with empty talk. It is impossible to achieve a career if you are only pragmatic. Some comrades only know "pragmatism", or they are satisfied with doing some specific things without regular summary and systematic planning; Either the decision-making and deployment of the superior will only be carried out mechanically, and the work will not be carried out creatively in combination with the actual situation; Or busy with all kinds of entertainment all day, without in-depth study and thinking. The result of such "pragmatism" is bound to fall into the quagmire of transactionalism, talk about things as they are, and even lose the way forward.
Virtual reality and virtual reality grow together. Talking in vain, lacking the support of facts and hard work, is not a real retreat, and it is not good to be empty. It can only be boastful, mysterious and even fraudulent; Talking about reality, without theoretical sublimation, is not really pragmatic, and it is impossible to achieve the expected results. In planning development, leading cadres must combine reality with reality, just as the supreme leader comrade demanded, "talk about reality and be realistic with reality." In recent years, Hainan has combined the central spirit with the local reality, made an overall plan for the strategy of "scientific development, green rise and comprehensive construction of an international tourist island", and implemented it one by one with the spirit of "nailing nails", which has effectively promoted the development of the cause and realized retreat — Pragmatic — Retreat — And then pragmatic cycle of ascension.
About emphasis and generality
Comrade Supreme Leader stressed, "In any work, we should not only talk about two points, but also talk about key points. Without priority and distinction, we can’t do a good job." This admonishes us to deal with the relationship between the key and the general, not only to pay close attention to the key, but also to give consideration to the balance, so as to achieve the goal of focusing on the key and taking the overall situation into consideration.
The so-called focus refers to the aspects, links and factors that play a decisive role in the overall situation and long-term work, and philosophically speaking, it is the main aspect of major contradictions and contradictions. In practical work, we are faced with a myriad of affairs, but time and energy are always limited, and the resources we can control and mobilize are also limited. We must concentrate our time and energy, concentrate our superior resources and pay close attention to key points. As the saying goes, "Petunia should lead its nose", which is the truth. Therefore, we must firmly grasp the leadership methods of grasping the main contradictions, the key points and the key points. First, we must be accurate, be good at multi-angle and multi-factor analysis and comparison, and identify the key issues and key links in the overall work; Second, we must grasp the key work firmly, hold on to it, and grasp it to the end, so as to leave a mark on the stone and grasp the iron, and be good at the beginning and the end. Hainan has deeply analyzed the key factors that restrict the overall situation, focused on the reform of "multi-regulation integration" and the reform of agricultural reclamation, made targeted efforts and paid close attention to implementation, and made many breakthroughs.
Materialist dialectics tells us that the main contradiction is formed under certain conditions and will also shift under certain conditions. It is necessary to avoid the static thinking mode of carving a boat and seeking a sword, analyze and solve the main contradictions with a dynamic and developing vision, keep a close eye on the changes of the main contradictions, and pay close attention to what problems are outstanding and where the work is important, and constantly enhance the pertinence and effectiveness of focusing on the key points. Sun Tzu’s Art of War says, "The army is unpredictable, but the water is unpredictable", which means that we should be good at grasping the main contradictions and the changes in the focus of work, adapting ourselves to local conditions and coming up with effective solutions.
Of course, grasping the main contradiction does not mean that the minor contradiction can be ignored, and other contradictions can be solved naturally. Although the resolution of various contradictions does not go hand in hand, we cannot lose sight of one thing and lose sight of another. This requires us to learn to "play the piano", unify the two-point theory and the key theory, be good at grasping the key points and keys, and be good at making overall plans and taking all aspects into account, balance the strength and progress of all work, achieve overall planning and advance, and firmly grasp the initiative.
About the present and the long term
Everything in the world exists as a process, is in a specific process, and is the connection point of the past, the present and the future. This requires that when we think, plan and advance our work, we must handle the relationship between the present and the long-term, as demanded by the supreme leader comrade. "We should boldly do what is effective and sustainable in the long run, and we should also work hard to do what is ineffective and lays the foundation in the long run."
It is normal that a person should first consider the current role and realistic needs when thinking about problems and doing things. The key to the problem is to have long-term goals and long-term plans while considering the present, and to handle the relationship between the present and the long-term, so as to prevent focusing on the present, ignoring the long-term, or talking about the long-term and being divorced from the present. In practical work, compared with setting the long-term goal too high and unrealistic, it is more prominent that some comrades only care about the present, regardless of the long-term, and only want to get immediate results, which will benefit future generations. For example, grasping the economy for quick success and instant benefit, regardless of the carrying capacity of resources and environment, eating ancestral meals and breaking the road for future generations.
Why is there a mismatch between current work and long-term goals? From the objective reasons, there are institutional mechanisms, employment orientation and other factors. For example, in the past, too much attention was paid to the outstanding achievements of leading cadres during their term of office. In some places, leading cadres were mainly judged by GDP. From the subjective reasons, one is impetuous, and some leading cadres are eager to make achievements and pursue short, flat and quick; Second, there is a lack of foresight. Although subjectively, I don’t want to do things that don’t meet the long-term requirements, but my ability is limited and my vision is short-sighted. I don’t know what the long-term requirements are and where the future development direction is, so I can’t take care of the long-term.
To solve these problems, the key is to work hard on the connection between the far and the near, to implement the long-term goal on the current specific things, to give the current work a long-term significance, and to identify the starting point of the combination of the current and the long-term. In Hainan, it is extremely important to handle the relationship between economic development and environmental protection. In April, 2013, during the investigation and investigation in Hainan, the Supreme Leader emphasized that green mountains, green waters, blue sea and blue sky are the biggest capital for building an international tourist island and must be cherished and carefully cared for. Hainan implements the spirit of this important directive and always adheres to the principle of establishing a province by ecology. On the one hand, it vigorously develops green and low-carbon industries and promotes industrial transformation and upgrading; On the other hand, we will carry out in-depth greening of Baodao and severely punish illegal and criminal acts that damage the environment. Through hard work, Hainan’s ecological environment has always maintained a national first-class level, achieving a win-win situation of development and protection, and the unity of the present and the long-term.
On inheritance and innovation
Materialist dialectics holds that inheritance and innovation are two aspects of things. Inheritance is the foundation of innovation, the ultimate goal of inheritance is innovation, and the highest realm is innovation; Innovation is the development of inheritance, and it is a new discovery, invention and creation standing on the shoulders of predecessors. Inheritance — Innovation — Re-inheritance — The cycle of re-innovation promotes the wave-like progress and spiral rise of things. Regarding the relationship between inheritance and innovation, the Supreme Leader Comrade pointed out: "We are historical materialists, and we must realize that without inheritance, there will be no development; No innovation, no future. We must always adhere to innovation in inheritance and develop in innovation. " This provides an important follow-up for us to correctly handle the relationship between inheritance and innovation.
We must attach great importance to inheritance. For a nation, a country and a political party, some good traditions, experiences and practices must be inherited and carried forward. Comrade Supreme Leader pointed out during his investigation in Jinggangshan that the red genes of revolutionary ancestors must be passed down from generation to generation. In practical work, some comrades separate and oppose inheritance and innovation, and think that if you want to inherit, you can’t innovate, and innovation must start a new stove. This is a misunderstanding and must be eliminated. In a certain sense, there is no hope for a nation that cannot inherit the tradition well and find the genes for future development from the fine tradition. For a period of time, some people have unilaterally exaggerated the negative aspects of Chinese traditional culture, and even criticized and criticized Chinese excellent traditional culture, building a wall between tradition and modernity. In fact, excellent traditional culture is the root of modernization. We must persist in creative transformation and innovative development, enhance cultural self-confidence and let excellent traditional culture serve the realization of the Chinese dream.
We must vigorously advocate innovation. Looking back on the course of China’s reform and opening up for more than 30 years, we can create a miracle in the history of world development, become the second largest economy in the world, and embark on a Socialism with Chinese characteristics road. The fundamental reason is that our party has led the people of the whole country to continuously promote theoretical innovation, institutional innovation, scientific and technological innovation, cultural innovation and other aspects of innovation, and put reform and innovation through all the work of the party and the country; The main reason why there are some prominent contradictions and problems in the current economic and social development lies in the lack of innovation. The CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core puts innovation at the top of the new development concept, makes great efforts to implement the innovation-driven development strategy, and vigorously advocates mass entrepreneurship and innovation, which has injected new inexhaustible impetus into China’s economic and social development. At present, Hainan is taking innovation as the guide, vigorously promoting supply-side structural reform and striving to promote sustained and healthy economic and social development.
For leading cadres, innovation is both a requirement and a responsibility. We must firmly establish the concept that grasping innovation means grasping development and seeking innovation means seeking the future, and implement innovation in all aspects of work and promoting development. We should be the leader and actor of innovation, face up to difficulties when encountering contradictions, and seek the "key" to resolve contradictions with innovative methods; In the face of complex situations, boldly explore and extract the "good prescription" of simplifying the complex with innovative ideas; Dare to try when encountering bottlenecks, and open the "kit" to achieve breakthroughs with innovative measures. We should be the guardians and promoters of innovation, encourage innovation with enthusiasm, discover innovation with joy and cultivate innovation with confidence. We should actively understand and resolutely implement the innovation policies of our superiors, praise the innovative ideas of our subordinates and never suppress them, learn from the innovative practices of our neighbors with an open mind and learn from them seriously, understand and respect the innovative achievements of our predecessors, and be tolerant and supportive of the innovative ideas of our successors.
