Horses can go on adventures, but Litian is not as good as oxen. A strong car can carry heavy loads, and it is not as good as a boat to cross the river.

——"Speech at the National Organization Work Conference" and other articles

■Interpretation

Comrade Xi Jinping has always emphasized that cadres should be used scientifically and rationally, and that cadres should be used as practical and use their strengths. Indeed, each person's characteristics are different, their characteristics are different, and their specialties are different, and the key lies in the strengths of others, not their weaknesses; The work of others is not strong. Zhuge Liang misused Ma Tan and lost the street pavilion, and Zhao Guo misused Zhao Kuo, the son of a famous general, and the result was a great defeat in the Battle of Changping, all because of the wrong person and the wrong material. Comrade Mao Zedong once pointed out that the two most important things for leading cadres are to make decisions and to employ cadres. The use of cadres cannot be matched, and it cannot be decided by personal likes and dislikes, but should be used appropriately. We must proceed from the needs of our work and select people based on what we should do, and we should not simply use our posts as a means of rewarding cadres. However, in reality, when cadres are used in some localities, when specific people are involved, they often only look at their qualifications and whose turn it is, and they talk about seniority and balance care, rather than looking at who is better and more suitable, and who is not what they are good at, and who is not what they are good at.

■Original text

Horses can go on adventures, but Litian is not as good as oxen.

A strong car can carry heavy loads, and it is not as good as a boat to cross the river.

It is difficult for the wise to make a plan for the long.

Raw materials are expensive and applicable, fortunately, don't be too demanding.

——(Qing) Gu Sixie's "Miscellaneous Xing"

■Definition

Gu Sixie (1665-1722) was a poet during the Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty. He left behind many poems, but the most praised and widely quoted is this philosophical poem "Miscellaneous". This poem is short and concise, concise and profound, revealing that things have their own advantages and disadvantages, and that people have their own strengths and weaknesses, so it is necessary to apply them according to their aptitude, use their strengths, and avoid their shortcomings.

"Horses can go on adventures, but they are not as good as oxen. The strong car can carry heavy loads, and it is not as good as a boat to cross the river", which vividly tells people the truth that "the ruler is short, and the inch is long". There is no omniscient and omnipotent talent in the world, and genius is not as good as ordinary people. Only by clearly seeing one's strengths and weaknesses, strengths and weaknesses, strengths and weaknesses, can it be possible to find the coordinates of life and win success. If the length is short, even the wise will be overstretched and powerless. Therefore, the author proposed: "Raw materials are expensive and applicable, fortunately, don't be too demanding." "Talent is expensive, there is no need to be too demanding, as long as you have the corresponding talent, you can appoint; Being too demanding and difficult to force people will only turn away a large number of talents.
