One of the important signs of being a man is the awakening of human consciousness. This kind of self-awareness can give full play to a person's potential and maximize his own value; It can give a country and a nation great vitality for development, so that a country and a nation can unite all forces and promote social development and self-improvement.

Germans are famous for their strong sense of self. China students studying in Germany once did an experiment: they came to a public telephone booth in the downtown street at night, put the signs of "man" and "lady" next to the left and right telephones respectively, and then left quickly. The next morning, what they saw in the telephone booth was that there was a long line in front of the telephone marked "Man", but there was no one in front of the telephone marked "Lady". They asked the gentlemen who were waiting calmly: there is no one there, why not go there to fight? That's for the lady over there. What they believe in is: "Since there are regulations, we should consciously abide by them, otherwise what is the point of the regulations?"

Fang Ning, a professor at Capital Normal University, once experienced a traffic jam in Japan: on the way from Izu Peninsula to Tokyo, tens of thousands of cars lined up one after another 100 kilometers. At that time, almost all the cars were going back to Tokyo, and there was a long queue on the right side of the road. There is an empty road on the left. Anyone who drives to the left can go straight to Tokyo, but there is no car in the air. There is no traffic policeman in the traffic jam. In the past ten hours, the traffic has been moving step by step, quietly, without a whistle. Professor Fang Ning lamented: "They actually solved the car queue stretching 100 kilometers by themselves! Such a patient, orderly and United nation is really respectable and awesome! "

Life and society need to be conscious. Consciousness depends on both personal understanding and external pressure. Consciousness is not spontaneous, and constrained consciousness is also a kind of consciousness. In modern society, the field of public life is constantly expanding, and the communication between people is more and more frequent, which requires everyone's consciousness. To create a good social environment, we can get some results simply by coercive means, but that is only temporary, not lasting. Humans are stronger because they form a society, which is the strength of a group. The interests of individuals and groups are often achieved through * * * common goals, and the realization of * * * common goals requires the efforts of each member. Only when a person really understands that achieving the same goal is to realize his own interests can he attach the realization of personal interests to the realization of group interests and consciously participate in it. The more people reach this awareness, the more confident they are to achieve the same goal.

Require self-consciousness, advocate self-consciousness, and cover all aspects. Being conscious of everything and constantly surpassing oneself in consciousness should be a necessary quality for a person to be a man, an official and a politician.
