I. Introduction
Formalism seems to be everywhere in our daily lives. Whether it is work, study, Xi or life, we often encounter some phenomena that only focus on the superficial form and ignore the substance. The People's Daily recently severely criticized this phenomenon, holding that formalism has brought disaster to the country and the people, and its credibility has plummeted.
2. The harm of formalism
1. Waste of resources: Formalism tends to only pursue superficial forms and ignore the actual results. Not only does this waste a lot of time and resources, but it can also lead to inefficiency.
2. Misleading the public: Formalism can easily lead the public to misunderstand, believing that as long as the form complies with the regulations, it can be recognized and praised. This will not only mislead the public, but also undermine the fairness and justice of society.
3. Erosion of trust: Formalism can lead to a decline in trust in public authorities because they cannot truly trust the messages and promises they promote.
3. How to overcome formalism
1. Be clear about your goals: At work, we need to be clear about our goals and make sure that all team members are aware of them. Only a clear goal can avoid the emergence of formalism.
2. Focus on practical results: While pursuing form, we also need to pay attention to practical results. Only when the goal is truly achieved can we say that we have not fallen into the trap of formalism.
3. Strengthen supervision: The government, enterprises and institutions should strengthen the supervision of formalism and seriously deal with violations of regulations to maintain public credibility.
IV. Conclusions
Formalism is a very harmful phenomenon that not only wastes resources and misleads the public, but also undermines people's trust in public authorities. The criticism of the People's Daily is necessary because it reminds us to always be vigilant against the dangers of formalism. Only by overcoming formalism can we better achieve our goals and win the trust of the public. Therefore, we must strengthen the supervision of formalism, clarify the goals, and pay attention to practical results, so as to truly overcome this phenomenon.
