Comments on the letter to Garcia 1
The later chapters of this book are stories about enterprise management and life inspiration, which are somewhat similar to books about how much truth people of any age must understand. It seems to be a sublimation and application of Tam spirit, but it is a bit out of touch with the original story. Moreover, part of Tam spirit was born in the special background of war, and it does not apply to all times and other industries. This kind of chapter design may be arranged by the editor in the hope of wider audience and higher sales, which belongs to the marketing category.
I want to talk about my feelings about the spiritual quality of this story, that is, integrity, loyalty, initiative, intelligence and self-sacrifice. Let's get down to business.
1. initiative and originality, in fact, are not shown in this story.
Because Tam didn't take the initiative to accept the task, it was recommended by Colonel Wagner "Bole". Of course, why the colonel recommended Tam is inseparable from Tam's usual performance, but at least Tam didn't send a letter on his own initiative. It can be said that Colonel Wagner made the later Tam. Moreover, judging from the later plot, it was not Tam, but other soldiers who could have completed the task because of too much luck, especially on the way back after sending the letter. However, this story proves once again that a swift horse is hard to find, and it is even harder for a swift horse to find Bole. As for ingenuity, judging from the storyline, Tan's military talents were not displayed, and he didn't even confront the enemy head-on. At most, Gerbasio was reminded of Spanish deserters to prevent him from revealing his whereabouts or being assassinated, but this judgment did not reach the level of ingenuity. But initiative and originality need to be advocated, and it is understandable to take the opportunity to exaggerate and render.
2. loyalty.
For a soldier, loyalty is necessary. If you are disloyal to your country, how to live and fight in a military camp will be very torturous and will lead to schizophrenia. But in real life and work, should we be unconditionally loyal? Are there few examples of this loyalty being used? However, it is necessary to be serious and responsible at work, but this has nothing to do with loyalty. In fact, Tam also considered this question at that time: "In the face of this situation, the executors of tasks generally require written instructions. Because at this time, people's life and honor are unpredictable. The motherland can dispose of a soldier's life at will, but his honor is in his own hands and cannot be destroyed by a powerful person! I wonder if the secretary has filed our conversation record. Now the military situation is urgent and there is no time to delay. I have no time to deal with these things. There is only one thought in my mind: how can I send the letter to Garcia? " Just forced by the situation, there is no way or time to prove whether we should be unconditionally loyal, and the interests of the state are higher than personal interests. But in real life, we can't talk about loyalty unconditionally, it's stupid loyalty. Loyalty is mutual!
Obey.
As a soldier, it is Tan's bounden duty to obey orders. Can soldiers refuse orders? Will be shot. The article wrote: "After receiving the letter, Tan did not ask:" Where is he? "For someone like Tan, we should create a bronze statue for him and put it in all universities to commend his spirit." Some people even want to do experiments: you are sitting in the office &; Mdash& ampmdash You can assign tasks to six employees at any time. You call any one of them and say, "Please help me find Cleo's life in the encyclopedia and make a memo for me." Then this person will definitely not answer "yes", but will ask a series of questions first. So some people think that there are fewer and fewer people like Tan, and we need to carry forward this spirit. I think this understanding is a bit distorted, and I have reservations about the spirit advocated in this way. Because as a rational person, in order to complete the task better, faster and more efficiently, of course, we must first find out the reasons for being targeted, find out what we have mastered and avoid doing useless work. If the team or organization behind Tam didn't help him, guide him and bring him safely to Garcia, it is estimated that Tam would have been killed by the enemy if he didn't ask anything, or he would have met Garcia many years later. Is this still a task? But Tam's obedience consciousness of "OK, I'll do it" should be worth learning. We should learn to obey at work without making excuses. As a member of |zk 168, I must resolutely obey all reasonable and fair work arrangements of the school and don't talk about conditional work. Moreover, once there are mistakes in the work, we will not cover them up, not shirk our responsibilities, admit them and be brave in improvement. Because we are teachers, our words and deeds have a subtle influence on students. If even we pass the buck, how can we educate our students? Therefore, don't use any excuse to excuse yourself or prevaricate. Perfect execution doesn't need any excuse.
I understand the spirit of self-sacrifice as professionalism.
Tan did show a strong professionalism in the process of delivering letters and experienced many difficulties. However, in other words, under the circumstances at that time, he worked so hard to give the letter to Garcia. On the one hand, he saved his life, which was inseparable from his professionalism. But in our work, professionalism is of course to be advocated and worth learning. First, to do something, that is, to choose a career as a teacher, we must play the role of a good teacher. Conscientious, not afraid of hardship and fatigue, do a good job in teaching and educating people, remember that one minute on stage and ten years off stage, prepare lessons fully and constantly update, so that students can learn something and be worthy of their 45 minutes. You can work late into the night because you reply to students' posts on moodle platform, because you should revise and reply to the graduation thesis uploaded by students as soon as possible. . . ; You can talk with students on the phone for an hour or two, listening and comforting, just to have a clear conscience! Second, don't consider personal gains and losses, don't consider the same effort, whether different jobs are different, and whether the same job is different. Just like your idea of writing this article now, since you want to learn from Tam, you should study hard, write well and never perfunctory. In fact, according to my personal experience, I have come to the conclusion that in the process of doing something, I must be serious and responsible, just do my best, and I will be responsible for myself. Before you do it, don't think too much about the benefits or rewards in the process. I firmly believe that there is always something worth paying for. Because from my own experience, I find that when I think about what fame or benefits I can get before or when I do a lot of things, I will be more utilitarian when I act. If I want to work hard, the higher my expectations, the greater my disappointment, which will affect my mood and health. And some things don't consider so much, just want to do it well, but the result will be unexpected surprises and gains. Like Tam, he has no distractions when performing his duties. He devoted himself wholeheartedly to it, but he was commended by the president. This is the supreme honor, which Tam certainly didn't think of before. And the author of this article is also an example. This article was produced in a quarrel with my son while having tea, in order to cope with the normal publication of a magazine. Later, new york Central Railway Bureau requested to print 654.38 million copies, which was beyond the author's printing ability and was directly authorized to the other party. As a result, due to a series of accidental and lucky factors, this book had the largest circulation when the author was alive, which was completely unexpected when the author wrote this article. Of course, this is what I think and feel. Maybe others don't think so.
5. Teamwork.
Tam's task is inseparable from the cooperation of drivers, Khvazio, Castros, Leo and other comrades and organizations. It can be said that this task cannot be completed without such a team, so teamwork is very important. Speaking of our work, when we do scientific research, according to our current situation, many teachers are working alone, even if there is cooperation, many of them are nominal, so that we only look at the first author and moderator when calculating scientific research achievements. This calculation method will hit those who actually participate in teamwork and are unwilling to be the second author or participant. This vicious circle directly leads to scientific research in our college, which is quite unfavorable to scientific research.
A little puzzling, the author of this article said that it took 1 hour to write. Isn't this a historical fact? Why not look for information? If it's a story, isn't it enough to make up 1 hour?
One last statement: I am willing to be a Tam-style teacher, without excuses, and I am willing to be a person who can complete the task unconditionally and without excuses, no matter how difficult it is. We should not only be a person who is willing to write to Garcia, but also cultivate more people who are willing to write to Garcia.
Reflections on the Letter to Garcia II
This book "Writing to Garcia" tells the legendary story of a hero named Tam. With absolute loyalty and responsibility, he sent a letter to General Garcia, who decided the fate of the war, and completed this "impossible task". The spirit of "Tan" is loyalty, dedication, diligence and persistence. I learned a lot through my study and gained the following points:
1, be loyal to your duties and be brave in dedication. Loyalty means being loyal to what you do, to the people you serve, to your duties, and never slacken off until the task is finally completed. For us, loyalty is incomparable enthusiasm and selfless love for the party, the motherland, the people, socialism and education. Loyalty produces responsibility, perseverance, courage and dedication, as well as the belief to overcome all difficulties and obstacles. Brave dedication is another necessary condition to complete the task. Without selfless dedication, regardless of personal gains and losses, how can there be indomitable momentum, motivation and courage to overcome everything? Without these supports, the result can be imagined. If you don't obey, you won't command, and if you don't know how to pay, you won't get anything in return. Only those who obey orders unconditionally and have the courage to contribute to the completion of tasks are those who have the spirit of pursuing Excellence.
2. Lock the target and go forward bravely. Loyalty to the cause is the responsibility for one's own life. Many people's loyalty and professionalism to the successful cause are gradually dissipating, becoming impetuous, trying everything and quitting as soon as they are killed. This mountain looks high, has lofty ideals, and has no intention of persistent pursuit. This is the sorrow of life. People who dare to take responsibility in their work have clear goals and strength in their hearts. "The blade comes from sharpening, and the plum blossom fragrance comes from bitter cold." As a teacher, we must have a clear goal, be diligent and studious, and be not afraid of hardship, sacrifice and difficulties to explore.
3, high morale, stick to the end. People have to face difficulties and bear the blow at any time. Without courage, how can they overcome difficulties? Without passion, how can they have high morale? Passionate people will not be depressed because of temporary setbacks, and courageous people will not shrink back because of temporary difficulties. Persistence is a kind of persistence, tenacity and challenge. Persistence is the sweat and struggle of pursuing ideals; Persistence is a commitment to the lifelong care of your lover; Persistence is the struggle of students in the sea of questions every day for their own goals.
Our times need Tan spirit. Let's work together to be a person who can "send the letter to Garcia"!
Recently, the college organized a learning activity of "writing to Garcia". The book "Writing to Garcia" tells a simple story: In the Spanish-American War more than 100 years ago, US Army Captain Andrew &; Middot Summers middot Tamm was ordered to send a letter to General Garcia in the Cuban jungle. He did not fear difficulties and obstacles, passed the tests at different levels, and finally delivered the letter safely, rewriting the war situation. There is a profound truth in this simple story &; The truth about the most basic qualities of human beings is the source of power for social progress. It is love, dedication, execution, initiative and cooperation. Today, when money worship is rampant and quick success is prevalent, it is also of great significance for our teachers to re-examine the "Tam spirit".
First, we should cultivate the spirit of loving our jobs and being dedicated. After learning to send letters to Garcia, I saw my attitude towards work and things in the future. As the book says, "I believe the most beautiful word in the world is self-confidence". "I believe in myself, I believe in my work, I believe in my unit, I believe in my colleagues and partners ... I believe in good temperament and health, and I believe that the necessary condition for success is not to make money, but to create value, and success will come naturally after creating value ..." To become an excellent professional, you must consciously pursue your career as an ideal of life and enjoy it as a pleasure of life.
The second is to strengthen the cultivation of execution, initiative and creativity. Tan entrusted his superiors to take immediate action and complete the task of delivering letters wholeheartedly, which is worthy of recognition, but the author further advocated the initiative of the work from a higher level. He said: "initiative means that no one asks you or forces you to do your own thing consciously." "You should not only be serious and responsible for your work, but also be more active and outstanding by going up a storey still higher." Therefore, in today's work, we should not only implement it, but also carry out our work actively and creatively with high standards and strict requirements.
The third is to cultivate the team spirit of unity and cooperation. Any unit needs to play a team spirit. Whether as a leader or a leader, a boss or an employee, we should rely on and give full play to the strength and wisdom of the group to do a good job. Tam's success in submitting the letter to Garcia also benefited from his mutual trust and effective cooperation with those who met, accompanied and guided him throughout the submission process. In the current market economy, which emphasizes personal interests and personal values, it is even more necessary to advocate and strive to form an atmosphere of unity and cooperation.
Through this book, I better realize that I still have a lot to improve. We learn from Tan's spirit, cultivate our thoughts and sentiments, and more importantly, put them into action. In the future work, we will take Tan spirit as an example, face all difficulties in the work process, give full play to our subjective initiative, obey the leadership's work arrangement, complete all the work conscientiously and responsibly, try our best to repay the society and realize personal life value.
Reflections on the letter to Garcia 3
The story "Writing to Garcia" happened more than 100 years ago, and people are still telling it today because it advocates a spirit. This spirit has been advocated by all people since human society, no matter what nationality, social system, past or distant future. Although different nations and countries have different ways to explain and express this spirit, when reading the story "Writing to Garcia", there will be a * * * sound. This * * * sound stems from human's expectation and pursuit of a better future, and from human's spirit of self-improvement and perseverance. Tan in the story is a young lieutenant in the US Army. On the eve of the Spanish-American War, he was alone, risking his life and going through difficulties and obstacles without any escort, and finally sent the president's letter to General Garcia, and accomplished this important task brilliantly. There is no doubt that Tam's success lies not in his outstanding military talents, but in his excellent moral quality, absolute courage and indomitable enterprising spirit, which are loyalty and initiative, loyalty to duty, commitment, dedication, obedience and honor. I benefited a lot from reading this book. This book is an inspirational masterpiece about success. This book advocates a proactive attitude towards things and inspires us: don't be intimidated by difficulties, stick to the task that is given confidence and reveal the successful model. I most agree with the two viewpoints in the book, "If you want to do it, you must do your best, don't passively obey, and take the initiative to explore". This book tells us that difficulties in work exist objectively, but how to solve them and how to face them depends on everyone's attitude towards work. Although the book "Writing to Garcia" comes from the war years filled with smoke, and that era is so far away from our present peaceful era, today's society also has the same social needs as that era, that is, we all need a large number of people who can write to Garcia, and thousands of tams in Qian Qian need to work hard in various positions to create a more peaceful and better new world. Initiative is rewarded, and initiative is innovative. Only by mastering the initiative can a person turn many "impossible" into "possible", turn decay into magic, and finally surpass himself and realize his own value. Let's work together in the spirit of Tan, and we can all be excellent ambassadors.
