"The Weakness of Human Nature" said: One of the natures of human beings is that they will not accept criticism from others, always think that they are always right, and like to find all kinds of excuses to defend themselves.
Then when a person can bravely accept criticism, it means that they can face up to their shortcomings, correct their shortcomings, and make themselves better.
Xu Guixiang's "The Sky of History" tells how Liang Daya transformed from an illiterate little person into a senior party general.
In addition to growing up in the revolution and war, Liang Daya's success depended on an important person.
That is Zhang Pujing, who often stands against him and criticizes him against him,
Because with him, there is righteousness,
Invisibly restricting Liang Daya's behavior, decision-making and deployment,
Let him always be spurred and guided, always moving in the right direction.
It can be said that the person who gives him the most criticism is also the person who achieves the most.
01 Because of criticism, we can correct shortcomings and grow rapidly
Liang Daya, who had just entered the ranks of the Eighth Route Army, had the evil tendencies of many rural people.
This habit of his also quickly attracted Zhang Pujing's attention and dissatisfaction.
Because Liang Daya insisted on taking the new shoes of his brothers for himself,
Zhang Pujing sternly reprimanded him for not practicing warlord style and bullying soldiers;
Because when Liang Daya appointed him as the captain of the brigade, he asked his subordinates to be promoted to squadron leader at the same time.
Zhang Pujing explicitly opposed the promotion of Liang Daya as the captain of the brigade on the grounds that he wanted to blackmail his superiors and was politically immature;
Coupled with the fact that Liang Daya originally wanted to defect to the Kuomintang army and mistakenly joined the Eighth Route Army, it has always been doubtful whether his motives for joining the ranks were pure.
Therefore, for Liang Daya's application to join the party, Zhang Pujing gave a resolute resistance.
From all the above points of view, Zhang Pujing seems to be a "stumbling block" on the road to Liang Daya's progress.
But it is Zhang Pujing's criticism and opposition that makes Liang Daya's promotion road not so smooth at the same time, but it is more down-to-earth and deserved,
Because under the voice of opposition, Liang Daya must correct the small problems and bad work style in his body one by one, and improve them little by little.
It was also in the "struggle" with Zhang Pujing that Liang Daya's mentality was tempered, his work style was strengthened, and his conviction was further strengthened.
It can be said that he was led by Zhang Pujing to the road of an excellent revolutionary.
02 Because of criticism, you can stay cautious and avoid getting lost
Liang Daya, who won the first battle, the bowl on the rice table touched the mountain, and the wine was refreshing,
While congratulating him, Zhang Pujing warned him to guard against arrogance and impetuosity, modesty and prudence.
After Liang Daya became the commander of the military sub-district, Zhang Pujing was arranged to partner with him, which was actually a kind of supervision and vigilance.
After winning the battle, Liang Daya drank a few more bottles of good wine and ate more dog meat, and Zhang Pujing mobilized cadres and fighters to liquidate him;
After dancing several times with Soviet female comrades, Zhang Pujing warned Liang Daya not to engage in corruption, and solemnly talked to Liang Daya's wife, asking her to supervise Liang Daya not to make mistakes;
Engaged in a big contest, Liang Daya was happy to reward his troops with a cigarette,
Zhang Pujing criticized him directly at the party committee, saying that Liang Daya engaged in material stimulation and set reward standards in a disorderly manner.
Zhang Pujing's existence of Liang Daya is like a "tight hoop curse",
But it is precisely in this way that Liang Daya must be strict with himself and dare not act in the slightest.
A person's growth and progress is a long way, and it needs to be constantly criticized and debated.
Someone needs to always stand against him, not only have shortcomings to point out,
More importantly, when he achieves results, when he is proud of the spring breeze,
Let him be alert, whoever thinks twice, and cannot do whatever he wants,
Only in this way can his path go farther and farther, and go smoother and smoother.
03 Because of criticism, I can feel the true intention more sincerely
When Liang Daya looked back on his life, he was asked who the person he admired the most was.
He replied without hesitation: It was Zhang Pujing.
He said bluntly: Without Zhang Pujing's braids for decades, how many mistakes would I have to make. A military commander (Liang Daya himself) has such a political commissar (Zhang Pujing), which is really a blessing for Marx.
At this time, Liang Daya truly missed his comrades-in-arms, his partners, and his teachers.
Because when a person can point out your shortcomings and mistakes face to face,
But there is no half-point conspiracy and selfish distractions,
He simply fought for the truth, for justice, for the revolutionary ideals,
It is in this process that Liang Daya has really achieved,
For Liang Daya, Zhang Pujing is not his mentor and friend.
04 written at the end
If you have people around you who often criticize you and beat you, please cherish them,
For it will be your elderly teacher, your beloved relatives and friends,
They sometimes criticize you just because they want to see a better you,
They say nothing about you, but because you weigh a thousand pounds in their hearts,
After all, the expression of love cannot always be praise and praise,
Sometimes it also needs to be a criticism and warning, after all, no one is perfect,
When we can improve in criticism and continue to move forward in criticism, we will eventually go to a bright light.
