——Cited in "Zhijiang New Language: Mastering the Correct Working Methods" and other articles

■Interpretation

The ancients said that everything that is foreseen is established, and if it is not prepared, it is wasted. In other words, not to fight unprepared battles. To do a good job, it is not enough to have enthusiasm and ability, enthusiasm is only to have the attitude of wanting to do things, ability is only to have the conditions to do things, and having methods is the guarantee of doing good things. Especially today, the reform has entered a critical period, the main body of interests has emerged, the ideology is numerous, the reform has been a huge and complex system engineering, any reform measures may have an impact on other reforms, each reform needs to be coordinated with other reforms, and need to be considered in the large system. Therefore, to promote reform, it is more necessary to pay attention to the art of playing the piano and the wisdom of walking a tightrope. In actual work, many people are prone to two tendencies because they have not mastered the correct methods: one is that they are blind and do not have a comprehensive grasp of the work; One is to talk on paper, with high eyes and low hands, and don't know where to start when encountering specific things. In either case, it is not conducive to the development and deepening of the work. To do things well, we must be good at taking precautions, not only from the big picture, but also learn from Cao Chong to weigh the elephant; Start small again and learn how to cook and solve cows.

■Original text

Zigong asked for benevolence. Zi said: "If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools." Ju is a state, a sage who is a doctor, and a benevolent person who is a friend. ”

——(Spring and Autumn) Confucius, "The Analects of Wei Linggong"

■Definition

Confucius's disciple Zigong asked how to practice benevolence. Confucius replied: "In order to do a good job, a craftsman must first have sophisticated and sharp tools. If you live in a country, you should worship the wise men among the great doctors of that country, and make friends with the benevolent people of this country. ”

On the surface, the workmanship of craftsmen and the practice of benevolence seem to be incompatible, but in essence, they are the same. The Analects of Confucius quotes Kong Anguo's commentary: "Work is aided by sharp tools, and people are aided by virtuous friends." "Preparation is very important in everything you do, as the saying goes, "sharpen the knife and not mistake the woodcutter". Craftsmen polish the tools before work, and the operation will be handy, so as to get twice the result with half the effort. The same is true for practicing benevolence, first understanding the situation of the country and establishing good relations with its virtuous people, and then we can have the opportunity to display our ambitions and achieve the goal of benevolence.
