In the spring of 2023, I confidently participated in the civil service selection. I've always considered myself a great talent, and this selection is definitely a great opportunity for me to showcase my talents. However, reality gave me a resounding slap in the face, and I was eliminated at the initial stage.
That day, I was walking home in a loss when I suddenly received a call from the director, who asked me to come to the office to talk. With a hint of confusion, I walked into the director's office.
When the director saw me, he smiled and said, "Young man, don't be so depressed, failure is not terrible, the key is to learn from failure." I said helplessly: "Director, I really worked hard, but I was still eliminated, I really can't understand why." ”
The director took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Let me ask you, how long have you been preparing for this selection?" I replied, "Half a year." The director asked again: "Then how many practical things have you really done for the masses in the past six months?" I was stunned, and in retrospect, I did put most of my energy on preparing for the exam in the past six months, but neglected to care about the masses.
The director of the bureau saw through my thoughts and said solemnly: "The selection of civil servants is not only based on your personal ability, but more importantly, on whether you have the original intention to serve the people. Your abilities are indeed outstanding, but your concept of the masses is weak. Eliminating you this time is to let you understand this truth. ”
It dawned on me that the bureau chief was reminding me that as a civil servant, I should not only care about my own future and ignore the interests of the masses. I said with emotion: "Director, thank you for your teachings, I understand. ”
The director patted me on the shoulder and said earnestly: "You are still young, and you still have a long way to go. Remember, serving the people is the purpose of our civil servants, and it must not be forgotten at any time. Go back and reflect, I'm sure you'll rise again. ”
When I came out of the director's office, I felt much better. From now on, I have decided to devote more energy to serving the masses and practice the original intention of civil servants with practical actions.
Soon after, I participated in the selection of another unit, and with the experience and reputation accumulated at the grassroots level, I successfully passed the selection. In my new post, I will always keep in mind the teachings of the director of the bureau and put into practice the purpose of serving the people.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, I have been working in the civil service for many years. Whenever I encounter difficulties and setbacks, I will think of the words of the director, which inspires me to keep moving forward and work hard for a better life for the people.
During this time, I have encountered many touching stories and witnessed my own growth. And all of this stems from that conversation with the director, which made me understand that as a civil servant, responsibility is heavier than Mount Tai, and mission is above all else. In the days to come, I will continue to work hard to contribute to the realization of the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
As time passed, I became more and more comfortable in my position as a civil servant, and gradually won the recognition of my colleagues and the masses. One day, I was dealing with a livelihood issue, and suddenly received a call from the director, who said in a serious tone: "Xiao Li, come to my office." ”
My heart was beating faster, and I didn't know what the Director was looking for me. Walking into the office, the director motioned for me to sit down, and then said: "Xiao Li, you have made outstanding achievements in your work in the past few years, and the bureau has decided to promote you to section chief. ”
I was stunned, I didn't expect to get such an opportunity. I said excitedly, "Director, thank you for your trust, I will definitely work harder." ”
The director smiled and nodded, and said, "I believe in you, but this promotion is not only an affirmation of you personally, but also an increase in your responsibility." As a section chief, you must not only do your job well, but also lead the team to work for the well-being of the masses. ”
I felt the weight of the burden on my shoulders, but the enthusiasm in my heart to serve the masses filled me with confidence. I said firmly, "Rest assured, Director, I will do my best." ”
In my new role, I am even busier than I expected, dealing with various livelihood issues and emergencies every day. However, I always kept in mind the instructions of the bureau chief, put the interests of the masses first, and did my best to solve every problem.
One day, I received an urgent task to solve the water supply problem in an old community within a week. I knew it wouldn't be easy, but looking at the troubled residents, I made up my mind to do something for them.
I led the team to work overtime, run departments, find resources, and finally completed the renovation of the water supply pipeline within a week. When the clear tap water flowed back into the homes of the residents, their gratitude was palpable.
At this moment, my assistant Xiao Zhang walked into the office and said excitedly: "Section chief, good news! The report that we have solved the water supply problem in the old community has been in the city news, and the director has specially praised us. ”
I smiled and nodded, but I knew in my heart that all these honors belonged to those colleagues who paid silently, and to those who trusted us. I told Xiao Zhang: "This is what we should do, and we must continue to work hard to do more practical things for the masses." ”
As the days went by, I found myself loving my job more and more, and it made me feel the value of life. Whenever I see the satisfied smiles of the masses because of our efforts, I feel extremely gratified.
During this time, I also encountered many challenges and difficulties, but I never backed down. Because I know that as a civil servant, my mission is to serve the people, and this responsibility and responsibility will accompany me through every spring, summer, autumn and winter. I will continue to move forward firmly on this road and make unremitting efforts for the faith in my heart and the happiness of the people.
In the process of solving the problem of renovating an old community, we encountered unprecedented challenges. Due to historical reasons, the composition of the residents of this community is complex, and the renovation plan has caused dissatisfaction among some residents. They were worried that the renovation would destroy the living environment they were used to, and we did a lot of communication and explanation work on this.
That day, I was communicating with the residents in the community when suddenly an excited voice broke the harmonious atmosphere: "You civil servants know that if you engage in formalism, we don't need to renovate here at all!"
I turned my head and saw an old man with white hair glaring at me angrily. I knew that I couldn't be impatient at this time, so I took a deep breath, walked up to the old man, smiled and said, "Uncle, I understand your concerns, but the original intention of our transformation is to make everyone's life better." Can you tell me what you're worried about?"
The old man glanced at me, and his tone softened a little: "You young people, you don't understand the needs of our elderly. We are afraid that after the transformation, the environment of the community will become unfamiliar and life will be inconvenient. ”
I listened patiently, and then said, "Uncle, don't worry, we will fully consider everyone's opinions and try to improve on the basis of maintaining the original style of the community." Moreover, the renovated facilities will be more complete and more suitable for everyone's life. ”
After some communication, the old man's brows gradually relaxed. I struck while the iron was hot and invited him and some representatives of the residents to join us in a symposium to discuss the renovation plan.
The symposium was a great success, with many valuable suggestions from the residents, and we adjusted the renovation plan based on those suggestions. In the end, the renovation project was successfully completed with the joint efforts of everyone, and the community took on a new look.
In the process, I deeply realized the importance of communicating with the masses. Only by truly understanding the needs of the masses can we provide them with better services. It also strengthened my belief that as a civil servant, our job is not only to solve problems, but more importantly to build bridges with the masses.
Soon after, I was transferred to a new department in the city government, where I was responsible for urban planning and construction. This position is more challenging, but I am no longer afraid of challenges, but full of expectations.
In my new position, I met an old colleague who told me: "Xiao Li, urban planning is a systematic project, and there are many factors that need to be considered, so you must be cautious. ”
I nodded, knowing in my heart that this position is related to the future development of the city and the life of every citizen. I have to give it my all to live up to everyone's expectations.
In the days since, I have conducted in-depth research, learned professional knowledge, and constantly enriched my practical experience. In the dead of night, I am reminded of the Director's teaching: "Serving the people is the purpose of our civil servants." This sentence is like a bright light, illuminating my way forward.
I know that my journey is far from over, and there is still a long way to go, but I firmly believe that as long as I always have the people in my heart and always stick to my original intention, I can continue to move forward on this road and contribute to the development of the city and the happiness of the people.
After working in a new department in the city government for a while, I gradually adapted to the new working environment. However, I also realized that urban planning and construction is a complex and difficult task that requires more energy and wisdom from me. One day, I was sorting through documents in my office when I suddenly received a phone call.
"Xiao Li, come to the conference room, there is an important meeting for you to attend. On the other end of the phone, there was the anxious voice of my colleague Xiao Wang.
I put down my papers and walked briskly to the conference room. As soon as I walked through the door, I felt the tension. The mayor was sitting at the head of the conference table, looking around at everyone with a serious face.
"Xiao Li, you're here. The mayor saw me and nodded slightly, "We have just received an urgent task, there is an old town that needs to be renovated, but the issues involved in this project are very complex, and we need your professional advice." ”
My heart tightened, knowing that this was a big challenge. I sat down and listened carefully to the mayor's presentation. It turns out that this old town has a long history, but due to various reasons, its infrastructure has been seriously outdated, and the living conditions of its residents are worrying. Renovating this area will not only improve the lives of residents, but also enhance the overall image of the city.
In the course of the meeting, I put forward my own views and suggestions. I stress that in the renovation work, we should not only pay attention to the improvement of the material environment, but also pay attention to the spiritual and cultural life of the residents. I propose that during the renovation process, some community activities can be held to enhance communication among residents and enhance their sense of identity with the community.
The mayor applauded my suggestion and encouraged me, saying, "Xiao Li, your idea is very creative, and I hope you can take responsibility for this project." I believe that you can do this project well. ”
I was stressed, but I didn't back down. I know that this is an opportunity to demonstrate my abilities and to contribute to the well-being of the community. I said firmly, "Mayor, I will definitely do my best to make this project a good one." ”
In the days that followed, I threw myself into the project with all my might. I went deep into the old town to communicate with the residents and understand their needs and expectations. I also invited a team of experts to work together on the renovation plan. After months of hard work, we finally came up with a comprehensive plan for the renovation.
On the day the project started, I stood on the streets of the old city, watching the busy figure of the construction team, and my heart was full of anticipation. I know it's going to be a long process, but I'm confident that if we persevere, we can make this old town a livable and harmonious new community.
In the process of advancing the project, I encountered many difficulties and challenges. Sometimes, there are unexpected situations during the construction process that require me to make quick decisions. Sometimes, residents will question the renovation plan, and I need to explain and communicate patiently. But I never backed down, because I knew that every effort was made to bring a better life to the citizens.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the renovation of the old city has achieved remarkable results. The dilapidated houses have been renovated, the roads have become wide and tidy, and the green belt has been added. The living conditions of the residents have improved dramatically, and their faces are filled with happy smiles.
Looking at all this, I feel extremely gratified. I know that everything I do is to fulfill my mission: to serve the people. I will continue to move forward firmly on this road and make unremitting efforts for the development of the city and the happiness of the people.
