General Secretary Hu Jintao pointed out in the political report of the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China that priority should be given to developing education and building a powerful country with human resources. It is emphasized that we should fully implement the party's educational policy, adhere to the principle of educating people and give priority to moral education. At the same time, it also emphasizes "mobilizing all social forces to do a good job in ideological and moral education for teenagers and create a good social environment for their healthy growth". Nowadays, it is generally said that children receive three kinds of education: school, family and society, but in fact, the most important self-education is ignored. School education, family education and social education can only produce results through children's own self-awakening and self-education. As a positive education, caring about the work of the next generation is a positive, positive and upward influence. Wake up children's consciousness, teach them to master the skills of self-education, and let them always use the weapon of self-education to develop their own advantages, overcome their own shortcomings and grow up healthily in the journey of life.

First of all, establish a lofty ideal of life.

If Socialism with Chinese characteristics is the banner that guides our development; Scientific Outlook on Development is the criterion of development; A harmonious well-off society is our development goal. Everything is for development, and everything guarantees development. Development has become the theme of our times. The present is better than the past, the future is better than the present, and the generation is stronger than the generation. This is the yardstick for measuring development. People are both the driving force and the beneficiaries of development, so everything should be people-oriented. Marx said that communism is "a social form that enables everyone to develop freely in an all-round way". It can be seen that economic development will eventually be implemented in the all-round development of everyone. It can be said that this is the best historical stage of our country for thousands of years and provides us with the best development opportunities. However, we must also be soberly aware that problems such as population expansion, waste of resources and environmental pollution are becoming more and more serious. Young students, in particular, are facing fierce competition for further studies and employment. For example, in 2007, there were 1.065438+ 10,000 candidates nationwide, and only 5.67 million people were admitted to universities. Millions of college graduates face serious employment threats every year. The country not only provides us with opportunities for self-development, but also makes us encounter many unexpected difficulties due to fierce competition. How do you know about your present school, class and yourself? How do you plan to go in the future? What is your own competitive strength? What is your development potential? Have you really thought about this? It must be clear that competition needs the strong, competition makes the strong, and development and progress need the strong. The strong are the boosters and locomotives of social development and progress, national prosperity and national prosperity. We must try to be strong.

Second, define your life goals.

As the saying goes, "He who has no long-term worries will have near worries". It's time to think seriously. The ideal is tomorrow, with people's vision and hope for the future; Ideal is the direction, just like the dawn in the dark through the morning light; Ideal is faith, a sacred temple climbed in imagination, which adds infinite power to progress and struggle; Ideal is the pursuit, which inspires us to make unremitting progress, high morale and strive for progress; Ideal is faith, which gives people confidence and makes us indomitable and determined as steel; Ideal is wings, which take us to soar freely in the imaginary space; Ideal is a road, let us measure the journey of life step by step; The ideal is a gas station, which gives us unremitting courage and strength; Ideal is a regulator, so that we will not be shaken by setbacks and will not be sad because of setbacks; The ideal is the operation chart; Let the rhythm of our life walk in an orderly way, and become chaotic without shock. Ideal is the goal to be achieved in life, ideal is unshakable belief, ideal is enterprising courage, and ideal is the power to defeat the enemy. Ideals are not born out of thin air while lying in bed. It is through hard study and practice that it realizes the law of the development and change of objective things, follows the objective law that is independent of people's subjective will, and becomes firm after hardships.

When the Chinese nation is in danger, countless people with lofty ideals are struggling for the rise of China and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. As early as when he was studying, Zhou Enlai made it clear that the purpose of his study was for the rise of China. The October Revolution brought Marxism–Leninism to China with a gunshot. The establishment of 192 1 China opened a new chapter in the history of China. The struggle for communism has become China's lofty ideal. Inspired by this ideal, countless outstanding people made heroic sacrifices for the liberation of the Chinese nation. Facing the enemy's butcher's knife, Xia wrote: It doesn't matter if you behead, as long as the doctrine is true, if you kill Xia, there will be others. Fang Zhimin was the only senior * * * in China in the face of Chiang Kai-shek's surrender. Unsettled by Hou Lu, a senior official of the enemy chief, he wrote a book "Lovely China" in prison, which left us with precious spiritual wealth. Chen Yi was trapped in a cave by the enemy in Yamakaji and nearly died. He wrote: How do you feel about today's beheading? There are many difficulties in starting a business I will go to Quantai to recruit Kibaki and behead Yamaraja with100000 as the standard. This poem fully embodies Chen Yi's revolutionary integrity and sentiment. Dong Cunrui gave his life for bombing the bunker in New China. Liu Hulan faced the death of the hay cutter. These revolutionary martyrs died heroically for the establishment of new China. It was because of their unremitting struggle that People's Republic of China (PRC) was finally established. The establishment of the Republic opened the road to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. In order to serve the motherland, Qian Xuesen, Li Siguang, Qian Sanqiang and many other scientists broke through many difficulties and obstacles, abandoned superior living conditions abroad and devoted themselves to the socialist construction of the motherland. Countless workers, peasants and laborers from all walks of life have made silent contributions in their posts for the strength of the motherland. It is the oath of Wang Jinxi, an outstanding representative of the working class in China, who would rather live less than 20 years and try his best to win the big oil fields. Desperately win the big oil fields and melt into Wang Jinxi's ideals and beliefs. This became his actual action. It is because of the hard work of the people all over the country that our country finally got rid of poverty and backwardness. The ancestors had lofty ideals, defined their goals and established firm beliefs for them. Belief is the basis of will behavior and the unity of individual motivation goal and its overall long-term goal. Without faith, people will not have will, let alone positive behavior. Faith is a kind of psychological kinetic energy, and its behavioral function lies in stimulating people's potential energy, physical strength, intelligence and other abilities through morale, so as to realize the behavioral desire corresponding to people's basic needs, desires and beliefs.

People with lofty ideals have a clear direction in life. To realize one's ideal, one must determine one's life goals. The determination to make progress in life is to determine your own direction and what you want to achieve.
