I’m looking for an article about personal growth in the military. It’s for my friend’s speech. It’s titled “Personal Growth” and has about a thousand words.

With the promulgation of the new "Military Service Law" and the connected "Regulations on the Service of Active Soldiers", it marks that the reform of our country's military service system has entered the specific implementation stage. The "Service Regulations for Active-duty Soldiers" clearly stipulates that the service period of compulsory soldiers will be changed to two years, and the system of overdue service will be cancelled. These reforms of the service system have received support and support from the majority of officers and soldiers, and also triggered comrades. They reflect on their thoughts and reflections on issues such as their personal future and future, especially those who are rushing to take exams, learn skills, and want to stay in the team for a long time. They feel that the proportion of the military recruiting students from local youths has increased, and the competition for military academies will be It is even more intense. After the service period is shortened, there are fewer opportunities to take exams and learn skills than before. It is difficult to show one's ambitions and grow into talents in the military camp. In fact, the new "Military Service Law" and the new "Service Regulations for Active Soldiers" do not reduce the number of talents. Opportunities, but increased opportunities to become talents, so how do we grow and become talents in the short military service?

1. Establish the self-confidence of military personnel to become talents, and set the goal of becoming talents in the cradle of talents.

The moment we enter the military camp, we are already standing on a broad starting line for success. Whether we can realize our good wishes during the critical two-year service period, the most important thing is to rely on ourselves. Work hard and build up the confidence to become a talent in the military camp, and the road to talent can be extended at your own feet.

First, we must establish the ambition to build a military camp; a sailboat must have a mast to hang a sail when sailing through the waves, and a tall building must have pillars and skeletons to stand tall. If a person wants to make a difference, he must first be determined. However, in real life However, some of our comrades think that it doesn’t matter whether they are determined or have ideals. Others think that “two years is a short time to do the big things, and we are too lazy to do the small things” and so on. Wrong understandings, these misunderstandings are all caused by the failure to establish the value goal of becoming a talent in the military camp; life practice proves that only by determination can one have lofty aspirations and pursuits in life, and have spiritual motivation and fighting will to reach the other side of victory. . Otherwise, if you have no ambition, no goal, no pursuit, lose your spiritual motivation and fighting will, and waste two years dealing with short-lived brigades, the road to success in the military camp will be an empty talk. This is the shining life motto of people with lofty ideals at home and abroad. Pasteur, the famous French chemist and the founder of modern microbiology, said: "Determination is a very important thing. Work follows ambition, and success follows work. This is a certain rule." Zhu Xi of the Song Dynasty also said: "To do anything in life, one must first set one's mind first. If one does not have one's will, he will not be able to accomplish anything." It can be seen that establishing lofty aspirations not only gives people a life goal, but also stimulates a person's fighting spirit and creative enthusiasm, thereby realizing his or her greatest value. As Gorky said: "The higher the goal a person pursues, the faster his talents develop." Today, with the implementation of the two-year compulsory military service system, the competition for talents has become more intense. If we do not have a clear direction of struggle, success in the military camp can only be an empty fantasy.

Second, we must set goals based on reality; in the melting pot of the military, as long as I study hard, train hard, and work hard in the direction of the established goals, I will definitely be able to pick up the garland of success, but we must We must overcome lofty ideals and unrealistic setting of goals. This will not only fail to inspire us to succeed, but will set the goals too high and become discouraged after encountering setbacks; for example, some comrades only have a primary school education and do not even have a family letter. I can't write well, but I wanted to be a writer from the beginning. I set myself the goal of "publishing in a newspaper in one year, publishing in a magazine in two years, and publishing a collection in three years." The actual approach not only wastes valuable time, but also affects the job, and will eventually be counterproductive to the desire to become a talent. This requires a realistic analysis of one's cultural quality, job position, etc., when determining the goal of becoming a talent. Take a look. Which are your own strengths and which are your own weaknesses; which conditions are met and which are not met; which are possible and which are impossible to achieve; strive to set goals that are realistic, and at the same time take into account the actual situation of the army to achieve good results. The subjective desire is consistent with the objective reality. If you are in an infantry company, but you learn to drive a car all day long, and the company does not have a computer but you have to make a name for yourself on the computer, this is also impossible. The correct approach should be Yes, you should integrate your interests, hobbies and pursuits into the needs of the army and the objective conditions it can provide, and establish your talent goals based on fully considering the characteristics of your tasks, the work environment, the requirements of the army and other factors, such as If you are responsible for growing vegetables, you should learn more about gardening. If you are working in a cooking class, you should learn more about cooking. If your job is in communications, you should learn more about radio. Knowledge, etc. This will not only help you complete your job well, but also if all conditions permit, you may make faster progress in the process of becoming a talent.

Third, military talents can make great achievements on the social stage. Developing talents based on the military camp will not only be useful in the army, but also make great achievements in the social arena even when you return to the local area. Therefore, we must get rid of the biased understanding that attending military schools and becoming volunteers means becoming talents. When a famous entrepreneur gave a report to the army, he said with deep feeling: "Professional skills training for enterprise personnel usually takes three to five months to take up their posts, and their organizational management capabilities, organizational discipline concepts, hard-working and hard-working skills are cultivated. Basic qualities such as spirit, the sense of ownership of the factory as a home, and the ability to respond quickly and sensitively take a long time. Quality is a long-term management and requires long-term efforts. We are not afraid that company personnel are not skilled, but they are afraid of poor quality. These basic qualities are precisely cultivated on the military stage. They are the unique advantages of soldiers. As long as soldiers receive certain professional training on this basis, they can quickly learn things they did not know before, no matter where they go or what they do. All work can be done well."

This is also true. In the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, more than half of the tens of thousands of entrepreneurs are veterans. They are also strong people traveling in the ocean of market economy. An incident that happened in Zhengzhou, a famous city in the Central Plains, In this commercial war, the winner, headed by Wang Zhuzhou, general manager of Zhengzhou Asia Mall, was a group of retired officers and soldiers who had just stepped out of the military camp a few years ago. From the first day they entered Asia, they implemented militarized management of shopping malls. In a short period of time, they made an unknown Asia famous throughout the country. In recent years, many local companies have competed to recruit talents from the army. Beijing Panasonic Color TV Picture Tube Co., Ltd. alone recruited more than 200 veterans in 1996. In doing so, they took advantage of the army's advantages in cultivating talents with good overall quality. It can be seen that the process of us entering the military camp to serve is itself a process of growth and success.

2. Establish a sense of urgency and weave a garland of talents in the short military journey.

First, we must cherish the short time in the military. After the compulsory military service system was changed to two years, our time in the military camp will become even more precious, so we must "cherish time like gold" and make full use of the short time. military time.

Many of our comrades, during their military days, half looked forward to the future and half regretted the past, but they failed to take action today. Don’t you know that time flows constantly and is fleeting? What we call “now” has become “past”, and what we call “today” becomes “yesterday” in a flash. If you can’t grasp it today, you won’t be able to know tomorrow. Talk about. Whoever gives up today sets a precedent for ruining tomorrow. Only by making full use of today can we make better use of tomorrow. Mr. Zhu Ziqing, a famous scholar and essayist in my country, wrote an essay titled "Hurry", in which there is a vivid and vivid description that illustrates the passage of time: "The sun has feet! He moved gently and quietly; I also Then - when I wash my hands, the days pass by the sink; when I eat, the days pass by the rice bowl; when I am silent, I notice that they are passing by in a hurry, and I reach out to cover them. When I was holding him back, he passed by the holding hands again—" At the Eighth Route Army Office in Chongqing, Comrade Mao Zedong inscribed eight words for the library of that year: "If you are too busy, be crowded; if you don't understand, be bored." This also means cherishing time.

In addition to studying hard and training hard during class time, we also have a lot of available time. There are 52 Sundays in a year, and there are more than 100 days of double holidays in two years. There are more than 200 days in total. If we accumulate it and make full use of this time, participate in correspondence courses, self-study in college, and read some books that increase knowledge, we can acquire a lot of knowledge. In order to show off one's talents in the competition to apply for military academies and to become volunteers, one can get one's name on the list.

The second is to become talented through perseverance and hard study. "A tall building starts from the ground. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." Many of our comrades also want to seek knowledge and become talented, but they lack perseverance. They "three days to fish and two days to dry the net." They cannot endure hardship and loneliness. We should realize that becoming successful requires accumulation over time, hard work, and long-term persistence. Not afraid of difficulties; there is no fate in coveting ease and success. There is a saying: "There is no limit to the sea of ??learning and hard work is the boat." Lei Feng, the great communist warrior, consciously regarded hardship as the way to the sea of ??knowledge. Zhouji, he longs for true knowledge and is obsessed with reading, to the point of being completely obsessed with it. When he goes to the city on business, he always goes to Xinhua Store to buy a book he likes. When he borrows a good book, he must read it in one sitting. No; he studied the works of revolutionary teachers, and he had already studied some articles several times, but he still had to learn them from scratch; how many times did he immerse himself in the ocean of knowledge, study until late at night, and even welcome the rising sun to the window? This is how he used this method The spirit of hard study broadens the mind, purifies the soul, and reaches the peak of the ideal realm of communism. In the grassroots companies where we live, work and training tasks are heavy, there are many collective activities, there is less time at your own disposal, and work mobility is relatively high. Under such circumstances, if you want to realize your long-cherished wish to become a talent, you must have perseverance and hard work. Every comrade must carry forward the spirit of diligence and hard work, cherish precious time, and would rather sacrifice some entertainment and rest time than neglect study. Even if they encounter setbacks and difficulties, they must persevere and never give up halfway.

3. Establish a pragmatic spirit of starting little by little and pave the way to success in your own position

First, you must develop talents based on your own position. In the military camp, every comrade has a position of his or her own, and this position is the best place for us to grow up, because everyone is most familiar with their job and has the clearest understanding of the characteristics of the position, so they know best what to study. It is easy to integrate theory with practice, apply what you have learned, and produce results quickly. It is easy to arouse the enthusiasm for learning, make it persevere, and go all out to achieve the set goals. It is easy to get the support of leaders and comrades in terms of human, material, and financial resources. and time is guaranteed. Therefore, if you base yourself on your own position and become a talent, you will have a realistic and possible foundation. If you achieve results, you will have the greatest chance of success. For example, if you are a soldier in the cooking class and do not have a certain cultural foundation and do not understand diet, nutrition and cooking knowledge, you will not be able to cook delicious, fragrant and nutritious dishes; if you are an artillery soldier and do not have certain basic cultural knowledge and do not understand Without the principles and structure of artillery, it is impossible to become a "magic gunner".

Therefore, we must base ourselves on our own positions, do what we do, love what we do, and create extraordinary achievements in ordinary positions.

Second, practice hard and become talented. From the day we put on the military uniform, we felt that the first thing we faced was hardship. It can be said that the military camp is a melting pot of hard training. As long as we dare to throw ourselves into its embrace, we can make ourselves into steel and forged into talents. When Li Zhong, lieutenant platoon leader of the 11th Company of a regiment of the Shenyang Military Region, won the individual all-around championship in the International Military Sports Pentathlon Competition, many people did not expect it. Because when Li Zhonggang joined the army, he was as thin as a bean sprout and could not throw a bomb 30 meters. But they don't know that in order to develop excellent skills, Li Zhong, in addition to participating in normal training, insists on running 5 kilometers of mountain cross-country every morning and evening during the extremely cold winter in Xiaoxing'anling Mountains. Every time he ran down, his underwear was dripping with hot sweat and his virgin clothes were covered with frost. In the grenade quick-throwing training, he dropped several boxes at a time, plus a special two-kilogram hand grenade made by the company. The most exciting thing is that before going to bed every night, Li Zhong must insist on 100 push-ups, sit-ups, and leg raises, and then swing an 18-pound hammer to hit a tree stump 100 times. In this way, Li Zhong became a top trainer within less than a year after joining the army. When he participated in the training competition of the Shenyang Military Region, he was spotted by coach Pang Qingyun of the Bayi Work Team. Coach Pang said: "Look at the scars on his body, you can see how he usually trains. I took this soldier away." After Li Zhong entered the national military sports training base where powerful generals gathered, he worked even harder and with amazing perseverance set the highest record for the 8-kilometer cross-country run in our military's military pentathlon and the highest record for the international obstacle course. He ranked first among the "Ten Tigers" selected by the training brigade and was known as the No. 1 "Tiger" in the army. Having developed the skills to be the best "tiger" in the military, is it still strange to win a world championship medal? From Li Zhong, we can see that his crown of success was forged with blood and sweat and won by perseverance.

Third, seize opportunities to become talents. When it comes to opportunities, each of us has our own understanding. Some comrades are waiting for opportunities, and some comrades are creating opportunities. So how should we correctly understand the issue of opportunities? First, we need to acknowledge that opportunity plays a role in the success of talent. In the success of talents, their own talents are of course the first priority, but the role of opportunities cannot be ignored. Some comrades have been able to display their talents due to certain opportunities and have embarked on the road to success. Opportunity plays a turning role in the success of this kind of talent. Another important aspect is that opportunities can only come to those who are prepared. If we want to succeed in our career, ability is the internal factor and opportunity is the external factor. The key to success is internal factors, and external factors must work through internal factors. For the same opportunity, those who are prepared can get the opportunity, while those who are not prepared will find it difficult to seize the opportunity. In addition, those who are prepared in advance will eventually succeed even if they do not have opportunities for a while. Without talent preparation, even if you give him an opportunity, it will be difficult to truly become a talent and achieve success. From this point of view, whether it is theoretical knowledge or military talents, they need to be accumulated bit by bit and consolidated and improved step by step. Only in this way can we lay a solid foundation for seizing opportunities and becoming talents, and lay the foundation for a short military career. The road to success.

Comrades, the road to success lies at our feet. As long as we start from now, start from scratch, cherish the short military journey, base ourselves on our posts, train hard, study diligently, and use our youthful blood to Use our wisdom and strength to pave the road of hope for success and run towards the station of talent in the military camp.
