Learn from Uncle Ho about self-study spirit
President Ho Chi Minh is a shining example of the spirit of learning, self-study and lifelong learning to enrich knowledge and improve all aspects of his qualifications. Learning and self-study in him is a science with a specific and strict plan, and an art in the spirit of regular, lifelong learning to both learn and participate in revolutionary activities, serve the revolution, serve the Fatherland and the People better and better.
He once emphasized that, “If you do not study hard, you will not progress. Not progressing means regressing. The more society advances, the more work there is, the more sophisticated the machines are. If you do not study, you will fall behind, and if you fall behind, you will be eliminated, you will eliminate yourself.”
Therefore, it is not by chance that he said: “I often hear that there are comrades who, at the age of 40, think they are old and therefore do not study much. That is not right, 40 years old is not old. I am 76 years old but still try to study more. We must study and do revolutionary activities all our lives. As long as we are alive, we must study and do revolutionary activities.”
According to President Ho Chi Minh, learning and self-learning are always linked together and that is also the best way for each person to meet the increasingly high requirements of revolutionary tasks, so they should always try to learn everywhere, every time. He once confided: “In terms of culture: I only finished primary school. In terms of general knowledge: I saw an electric light for the first time when I was 17 years old, and listened to the radio for the first time when I was 29 years old”. To improve knowledge, to meet the requirements of the situation and revolutionary tasks assigned by the Fatherland and the People, Uncle Ho paid great attention to learning, self-learning and lifelong learning. Therefore, he not only affirmed that “Learning to work, to be a human being, to be a cadre. Learning to serve the class and the People, to serve the Fatherland and humanity”, but also seriously implemented the spirit of saying always goes hand in hand with doing, unifying between saying and doing, “…I am 71 years old this year, I have to study every day. Big and small things, I have to participate. The work just keeps progressing. "If you don't study, you won't be able to keep up. Work will leave you behind" - Uncle Ho once confided.
According to Uncle Ho, learning, self-learning and lifelong learning are a continuous flow, constantly developing. His stories about learning, self-learning and lifelong learning, especially learning foreign languages, are exemplary models for everyone to learn and follow. And because of that, self-learning and lifelong learning following the instructions and example of President Ho Chi Minh not only show that along with having to regularly practice revolutionary ethics, each person, especially cadres and party members, needs to "say what they know, say they don't know, arrogance, conceit, complacency are the number one enemies of learning" to strive to learn in the spirit of "learning what you do", "learning to master the work in each subject"...
During his revolutionary career, President Ho Chi Minh paid special attention to training, educating and nurturing people. He considered people to be the leading factor, the factor that determines all successes. The concept and criteria of the new man, the socialist man were set by him and are increasingly supplemented and perfected in society.
Reflecting on His example through learning
UNESCO's recommendation today on the four pillars of education is "learning to know, learning to do, learning to live together, learning to be".
This recommendation is also synonymous with Uncle Ho's views on learning and self-learning. Uncle Ho's learning and self-learning have been a mirror for us to reflect, self-correct, and self-cultivate in the process of learning and working.
When still in primary school, every day, students learned from Uncle Ho the immortal sayings chosen as propaganda and motivational slogans hung in solemn places of the classroom and school such as: "Study, study more, study forever" or "First learn manners, then learn literature"...
In general education textbooks, at each level and age, students read and learn stories about Uncle Ho as an example of morality, personality and humanity... When we were young, we learned about Uncle Ho's simplicity, humanity and respect for the value of labor through stories such as: Mr. Ke, Gia Di, Mot Que Diem... When we grew up, we learned and heard stories about human relations and his talented and powerful leadership.
Uncle Ho's entire life is an example, a treasure trove of knowledge about life philosophy and revolutionary ethics. Therefore, today, our Party considers studying and following his ideology, ethics and style a regular and continuous task, at all ages, in all fields, professions and social classes. Learning from Uncle Ho does not stop at studying, self-studying, cultivating and training ethics, but also learning from what he did and what he did. Especially, in the current period, when progress and development trends are calculated every day, even every hour, his ideology on studying and self-study is even more valuable. In the current period, when a part of the population, especially the youth, tends to be afraid of studying, afraid of exploring, afraid of difficulties and hardships, but tends towards a life of personal enjoyment, spreading Uncle Ho's ideology, values and actions on studying and training revolutionary ethics is more necessary than ever.
The recent topics of learning from Uncle Ho that Dak Nong has launched are showing that learning from Uncle Ho has been concretized by individuals and units through specific, practical actions and tasks, suitable for their fields of work, social positions and ages. Learning from Uncle Ho does not stop at a stage or term but becomes a continuous and widespread political activity.
