(1) Faith is the source of strength for the unremitting and tenacious struggle of our party and army. Comrade Deng Xiaoping once said: "In the past, no matter how weak our party was, no matter what difficulties it encountered, it always had strong fighting capacity, because we believed in Marxism and productism." And stressed: "This is our real advantage in the past, present and future."
Generations of party member are indomitable in the face of the test of life and death because of their unshakable ideals and beliefs. The Red Army made a long March of 25,000 Li, with 86,000 people at the start, and only 6,500 people were left when it arrived in northern Shaanxi. More than 65,438+066,000 people died or were separated along the way. On average, every 1km, four soldiers fall down and never get up again!
That's what happens in wartime. In times of peace, lofty and firm ideals and beliefs are still a powerful driving force to inspire us to persevere and strive hard.
At the Hongqilafu post on the Pamirs Plateau in northwest China, the oxygen content in the air is less than half that of the plain, but the officers and men have a famous slogan: "We are short of oxygen, but we are not short of spirit!" Why do our border guards and soldiers face difficulties, stick to it silently, work hard and struggle persistently? It is because they always have the trust of the party and the people and a firm belief in dedicating themselves to the cause of national defense.
(2) Faith is an inexhaustible motive force for making achievements in life. 1835, 17-year-old Karl Marx wrote in his graduation thesis: "If we choose a career that can best work for the welfare of mankind, we will not be overwhelmed by its burden, because it is a sacrifice for all mankind ...".
Comrade Zhou Enlai had the great ambition of "studying for the rise of China" since he was a child, and he was determined to seek the truth of saving the country and the people with the spirit of "breaking the wall for ten years". It is with such lofty ideals and beliefs that they have never given up their pursuit of truth, overcome unimaginable hardships of ordinary people and made outstanding contributions to the cause of human progress.
(3) Faith is an important guarantee to enrich the meaning and enhance the value of life. Everyone has his own life. The key question is whether you live a valuable and meaningful life. Ostrovsky, the author of How Steel is Tempered, said that this is how a meaningful life should be spent. "When he looks back on the past, he will not regret wasting his time, nor will he be ashamed of doing nothing!" He thinks it is meaningful to live a full life.
A few years ago, there was a hit TV series "Soldiers Assault". Xu Sanduo, the hero, has no good education, but he is always full of enthusiasm for life and insists on the creed that "people live to do meaningful things". Organizationally, he was assigned to the guard tank training ground of Class 3, Company 5, and no one wanted to go. When he has nothing to do, he practices walking forward and building roads alone.
Later, his seventh company was ordered to reorganize, leaving him alone to guard the barracks. He insists on doing exercises, running and exercising every day. It is because of his persistent belief that he became a "soldier king" and a real soldier, and his life value has been greatly improved.
