How to be a good citizen

To be a good citizen, you must at least do the following five things.

1. Pay attention to national affairs. Everyone knows that only when there is a country, there is a family. As a citizen of the People's Republic of China, you must love your motherland. To care about national affairs is to love the motherland.

How to care about national affairs? At least you need to know who the leader of your country is. When you say this, you may find it ridiculous and say, "How can there be such a bad person in the world who doesn't even know the leader of his own country!" I can tell you that there are many such people. Around 2004, there were media reports that some villagers in the Houshan area said that their leader was "Hua Guofeng" when answering reporters' questions. Do you think this is not surprising?

Can a person who doesn’t even know the leader of his own country be called patriotic? This incident is also thought-provoking and reflects that our quality education for citizens has not caught up with the requirements. Patriotic awareness is cultivated. Generally speaking, those who have read are more patriotic than those who have not read; those who have read more are more patriotic than those who have read less. That’s why some leaders said, “Education is the foundation of a century-old plan.” There is a reason for this.

Citizens should be concerned about national events, such as knowing about some major festivals, caring about some of the country's major scientific research results, caring about some of the country's military developments, caring about the country's natural and man-made disasters, and caring about the country's economic balance and expenditure. Wait, wait.

I dare not forget about my country despite my humble status. To care about these things is to fulfill a citizen's responsibility. For example, in the 2008 Olympic Games, the whole country worked together as one to make the Olympic Games a spectacular and famous one. There was also the 5.12 earthquake. How many citizens of the People's Republic of China and the People's Republic of China voluntarily participated in the great earthquake relief action, donating money, materials, and blood and sweat. In the face of a once-in-a-century disaster, it demonstrated the great cohesion of the Chinese people, shocked and moved the world.

As a citizen of the People's Republic of China, we must stay at home and have the whole country in mind. We must obey the collective as an individual and the country as a family. In the face of some major right and wrong, we must put the interests of the country and the nation first, especially when encountering foreign powerful forces invading China. We should follow the example of the older generation of proletarian revolutionaries such as Yue Fei and Yang Jiajiang in ancient times and Mao Zedong in modern times. , go forward one after another, move forward bravely, and drive the enemy out of China. It is the duty of every citizen to protect our country.

2. Observe laws and disciplines. A country without the rule of law does not exist. Our country is now governing the country in accordance with the law. We must abide by the law, do not disrupt social security, do not fight, do not form gangs, do not steal, do not engage in sexual misconduct, and live our lives honestly. This is a manifestation of obeying the law and discipline.

Take the lead in the exemplary implementation of the national family planning policy, establish a progressive view that boys and girls are the same, and do not favor boys over girls. According to the laws and decrees of the country, there is no early marriage or excessive childbearing. If you have more than one child, you should take the initiative to pay the fine and actively undergo sterilization surgeries. You should not confront family planning cadres or take the lead in undermining the national policy of family planning.

Abide by the customs and habits of ethnic minorities. No matter where you go, first inquire about the customs and local customs there, and follow them cautiously. Do not cause misunderstandings, provoke disputes, or cause discomfort. Necessary clues.

A little impatience will mess up a big plan. When encountering some unexpected incidents, be calm. Words are the key to happiness. Sit down and have a pleasant talk with the other person, and you can turn conflicts into friendship. When dealing with problems, you should be calm, reasonable and don't raise your voice. Try to follow the principle of "turn big things into small things and make small things into small things", and regard peace as the most important thing. Don't get angry or even get into a fight when something doesn't go your way.

In the context of governing the country according to law, winning or losing is a loss. If you hit someone, you have to pay medical bills. The injury is serious and you have to go to jail. It is not cost-effective. If someone hits you, you have to suffer pain and get angry. You have to pay for the medical treatment yourself. You will inevitably have to go to court to get the medical bills. . Litigation is not easy either. Don't you hear that "if you kill ten thousand, you will lose three thousand." As long as there is a lawsuit, neither the plaintiff nor the defendant can get any advantage, and both parties will suffer. Therefore, when living at home, you must remember: "Be patient and bear with me to spare, spare, spare, and the word "tolerance" is higher than the word "rao"." Forgiving people is a blessing.

In daily dealings with others, you must be fair, fair and reasonable, and do not try to take advantage of everything. You must learn to make profits for others and suffer losses for yourself. This is something many people are unwilling to do or unable to do. There are always people who suffer. There is a theory of karma here.

Those who often suffer losses gradually prosper, and those who often take advantage gradually decline. Such examples are not difficult to find in real life. Therefore, in our daily life, we must help others, help others, and give more charity.

A few days ago, I met an expert on Caofengyuan. He said that he had understood two words in his life. I asked him what they were, and he said they were "willingness." He told I said: "If you give up, you will get something; if you don't give up, you won't get it." Later, I thought about it again and again, and there was something mysterious about his words.

I also thought from this that "giving up" means sowing seeds. The more you give up, the more you will sow. "Get" means gain. The more you sow the more you will reap. At this point, it is not difficult to explain the mystery that those who suffer losses actually prosper. Learn to be tolerant, learn to suffer losses, be as generous as the sea, be humble and tolerant, and you will surely have a good life.

3. We must be civilized, progressive and keep up with the times. As society progresses and becomes civilized, we must also keep up with the progress of the times and be civilized, polite, and progressive citizens.

You may want to ask: "How can I be a civilized, polite, and progressive citizen?" I promise you that it means speaking civilly, having progressive views, behaving in a standardized manner, and doing things in accordance with the principles. The minimum performance is to wear neat clothes, wear a hat properly, and be able to use polite language skillfully.

Civilized behavior can bring pleasure to others and make others have a good impression of you. For example, when driving at night, turn off your headlights when there are people or cars on the other side, so as not to dazzle the other person's eyes. Just this small gesture can make the other person feel that there is love everywhere and how wonderful life is.

Don’t play the speakers very loudly in public places, especially at night, and don’t make any noise when others are resting, so as not to disturb others’ rest. Don't spit, don't throw garbage, don't say dirty words, don't talk about or ridicule other people's shortcomings. From these trivial things in daily life, a person's quality can be reflected.

In the 21st century, the level of social civilization has been greatly improved, and the requirements for the quality of citizens are getting higher and higher. Citizens should read more books, read more newspapers, watch the news, learn computers, watch more TV programs, listen to more radios, and learn more scientific knowledge. They must have real talents and practical knowledge. The more they understand, the more civilized they will be. For example, in the past, people threw our used batteries everywhere, but now it is different. People know that they will pollute the environment, so they dispose of them properly. If you don’t understand these things and throw them around, polluting the environment, you don’t even know that you have made a big mistake towards mankind.

To have the right way is to always learn and always be new. You should study more and "pay attention to everything and you will learn something." If you constantly "recharge" yourself, you will make fewer mistakes and avoid attracting public anger.

4. Educate the next generation well. Nowadays, some people give birth to children and don’t care about them. The children are handed over to school and run away. Either go to work, go into business, or immerse yourself in farming, forgetting all about your children's education. Children's education is left to the school. Although the school does its best, it is limited after all. It educates inside the school but cannot educate outside the school. Many children are obedient in school but behave inconsistently outside school. Some are good and some are not. Internet cafes, pubs, smoking, drinking, fights, dyeing and pornography, all kinds of juvenile crimes are appalling.

It is irresponsible for parents to ignore their children. Children's education is a combination of school, family, and society. The three parties must cooperate organically, conduct cross-management, and jointly manage each other. School management alone is not enough. Parental education plays a decisive role here. Some students do not perform well in school. As soon as the teacher mentions it to their parents, the students become afraid and get better immediately. This shows that parents still have a deterrent effect on their children. This is enough to prove that family education is essential or missing in the growth of children.

So, how do parents educate their children? I think the following points must be achieved:

(1) Provide ideal education for children. Every child has his own ideal. When you meet a child and ask him, "What will you do when you grow up?" he will tell you without hesitation what he will do when he grows up. What he tells you is his ideal.

Some children’s ideals may seem childish and ridiculous to adults, which is a sign of ignorance. It should be admitted that many ideals can be achieved through unremitting efforts. Scientists Einstein and Newton, why did they study this or that? It is because they have an ideal in their hearts and work hard to realize it that they have achieved great achievements and contributed to mankind.

So, ideals are motivation, ideals are seeds, and ideals are the prerequisite for success. As adults, we should have a correct view of children's ideals, and should not pour cold water on them. We should encourage and provide children with certain help, so that they can continue to strive to realize their ideals on the road of growth.

I think that since it is an ideal, any imagination is reasonable. For example, you can be the president of the country or the premier of the State Council. If Li Shimin didn't want to be the emperor, he couldn't be the emperor; Chairman Mao Zedong said: "Ask the vast world, who is in charge of the ups and downs?" He was lamenting that he could not realize the ideal of the people being the masters of the country. Didn’t it finally come true? It is a good thing for children to have big ideals. In this world, not everyone can get as much as they want. Often, if you want ten thousand, you will get eight thousand, if you want eight thousand, you will get six thousand. If you think more, you will give more and get more; if you think less, you will give less and get less.

We must help our children establish lofty ideals and constantly encourage them to work hard to realize their ideals.

(2) Provide love education to children. The education method for children must be appropriate, and do not take blame at every turn and fight with fists and feet. What I want to tell you here is that corporal punishment is a failed education method for children. There is a saying that a dummy comes out from under a stick. That is to say, using simple and crude methods to educate children can only make children tell lies and create false impressions, which is counterproductive.

The best way to educate children is to have a heart-to-heart talk with them, get along well with them, and play games with them often. Seeing the right timing in the game and typing a few words from time to time often play a big role. Educate children in a loving and gentle way, save children, and create a harmonious relationship between adults and children.

When a child makes a shortcoming or mistake, don't get angry, but use a gentle attitude to help him analyze the mistake, why he is wrong, where he is wrong, what he should do, what he should not do, and be patient. Explain and persuade in detail, and point out how to do it in the future. Both adults and children are convinced by reason. As long as you explain it in a reasonable and reasonable way, he will be convinced. This approach is much more effective than shouting and fighting.

When children have achievements and improved performance, praise them. But praise must be skillful and measured. There is a lesson in the primary school Chinese textbook, ""Excellent" and "terrible". The author continued to improve and improve with the encouragement of his mother and the criticism of his father, and eventually grew into an excellent writer. The author commented insightfully at the end of the article: "A writer, it should be said that everyone in life, needs the power from his mother. This power of love is the source of inspiration and creation. But this alone is not comprehensive enough. It may lead people astray, so you need the power of warning to balance it. Someone needs to remind you to be careful, pay attention, summarize, and improve.”

We must treat our children’s achievements correctly and do not praise them. If you go too far, it will make them dizzy; don't be picky and say it is useless, so that they will lose confidence and give up. Praise and criticism must be artistic and just right. Doing so will help children realize their ideals, stand out, and become talented as soon as possible.

(3) Provide environmental education to children. The environment mentioned here is, firstly, the natural environment, and secondly, the artificially created environment. Let’s talk about the natural environment first. The natural environment refers to residences, landscapes, sanitary conditions, cultural places, etc. The environment has a huge impact on people. The mother of Mencius in ancient times had already realized this and chose her neighbors three times. It turned out that Mencius was a neighbor of a butcher, and Mencius imitated the butcher's method of killing pigs. Mencius's mother felt something was wrong, so she took Mencius to find another place to settle down. Unexpectedly, he lived next to a theater again this time. Mencius imitated the movements of the actors and learned to sing. Mencius's mother felt it was even worse, so she took Mencius and moved to the side of a school, and then she settled down. Mencius listened to the teacher's lecture one day and imitated the students in reading. When he grew up, he achieved great achievements. Later generations respected him as "The Lesser Sage", as famous as Confucius. This is a model of environmental education.

People often say: "Learn a good skill from a good person, or learn from an unlucky guy, and you will become a great person." Everyone has an imitation mentality, especially children. After watching a movie, he would curse: "Bage Yalu"; after watching a martial arts movie, he would throw his arms and kick his legs. You learn what you see, so the environment is very important and plays an inducing role in children's growth.

When we transform the environment, we must first clean it well and arrange good utensils, and we must also choose a good school, good teachers, and good entertainment venues for our children.

Strive to expose children to advanced, beautiful, and elegant things, and less witness to backward, ugly, and low-level things, so as not to lead children astray.

Let’s talk about the so-called “man-made environment”. The "artificial environment" I'm talking about here refers to the environment in which parents work. For example, parents should not smoke, drink, play mahjong, gamble, say dirty words, gamble at home, or show pornographic videos in front of their children. Some parents gather to gamble at home, leaving their children to watch. If you teach your child to play cards at your own convenience, do you think this parent behaves like a parent?

Parents are their children’s first teachers. Every word, deed, and action of parents has a subtle and subtle influence on their children. There is a joke: "The same melon grows on the vine, and the variety remains unchanged." There are two reasons for this phenomenon, one is genetic factors, and the other is acquired imitation. If our parents want their children to become talented as soon as possible, in front of their children, they must "do not do evil with little evil, and do not do good with little good." Do more good deeds and good deeds. Teaching by example and words, educating the next generation well will benefit the family, the country and the people.

(4) Provide support and education to children. Children are children, no matter how old they are, they are still your children. It is necessary to help children, understand their ideological conditions, understand their difficulties and confusions, and provide targeted assistance so that children can grow up healthily.

Some of our parents ask their children with an adult mentality and artificially raise their expectations for their children, hoping that their children will be like this or that. If a child does something that is not to his liking, it is irrational to scold, hit, scold, or even give up. We should realize that children are minors, their brains are not yet fully developed, and mistakes are inevitable. We adults should understand, forgive, and help from this perspective. Ask the child what he lacks, and provide it. If the child has any difficulties, help him overcome them. If the child has any problems in his mind, help him resolve them. Don't compete with your children and affect the relationship between them and adults.

5. Get rich through hard work. Diligence is a cornucopia of treasures, while laziness is a draining pan. People must be diligent in this world, whether they are officials or ordinary people, they must be diligent.

Those who have a career must be dedicated to their job, be loyal to the king, work hard to do their job well, strive to achieve excellent results in their job, and become a person who is useful to the country and the people. .

If you are a farmer or an idle unemployed person, you should be even more diligent. Farmers should plow and plant in the fields during the busy farming season, farm scientifically, cultivate intensively, and fertilize rationally. Become the number one scholar in your career and strive to be an expert in growing crops, so that you can harvest more food and benefit your family and country. We must also do a good job in diversifying operations and diversify some cash crops, such as oil crops, watermelons, vegetables, and fruits. Increase economic income and improve quality of life.

During leisure time, go out to work. It’s hard to work, but you still have to go out and fight. It is better to find one than to lose one. Anyway, sitting at home and walking around the pot is not a problem.

I am a teacher with a monthly salary of more than 2,000. In the summer of 2007, I even went out to work.

When I went out, I only had some fare with me. When I arrived in Xifeng City, I looked for work everywhere. I joined several engineering teams one after another. Some thought I was old and didn’t want me, and some paid me low wages. The work is too heavy and I don’t want to do it. After a month of working experience, I suffered a lot of hardships, suffered a lot of bullying, suffered enough hunger, and experienced the bitter life of a migrant worker.

I remember one day, I had no money to eat and couldn’t find a job, so I had to sit on the street with a shovel and follow the migrant workers, waiting for odd jobs. It was almost noon, and a driver came to ask someone to unload the coal.

Fifteen tons of charcoal must be unloaded from the truck, and only fifteen yuan will be paid. The others were unwilling to do it because of the lack of money. They were obviously trying to bargain for the price, so I eagerly agreed. One person unloaded fifteen tons of charcoal and earned a meal. Looking back now, I still feel sad!

The reasons why I did this were firstly because I was poor, secondly I wanted to strengthen myself, and thirdly I wanted to understand the society and experience the life of a worker. Through this part-time job, my experience is: it’s hard to get out, it’s hard to make money, it’s hard to work, the engineering team is in trouble, and the workers are pitiful!

The main reason I say this is to ask everyone to be diligent and not to be pampered and live a life full of others, which will lead to gray hair easily. There is a famous saying in primary school textbooks: "If young people don't work hard, old people will be sad." This is to warn people to work hard to get rich while they are young and strong, to achieve good results, and not to waste their years in vain.

People must be able to endure hardships in life, and those who can endure hardships are those who make a difference.

Idle and unemployed people should cherish their time and actively seek employment opportunities instead of sitting at home waiting for work. The gauze hat in the world must be worn with the head extended. Don't blame others, realize that you are incompetent for not having a job, and don't blame anyone else.

As long as you apply for a job seriously, you will definitely find a job that suits you. When you find a job, you must work hard and do it in a down-to-earth manner. You don't want to change jobs whenever you see how high the mountain is. You also don't want to ask for certain conditions or requirements that cause problems for your boss. Most bosses "reward according to merit". As long as you achieve results, the reward will come naturally without you having to argue.

In general, human value lies in creation, and the process of creation is a process of hard work. No matter who you are, if you want to achieve results, you must keep your feet, hands and heart constantly. In addition to doing your job well, you also need to watch the news, listen to the radio, study various policies of the central government, study the speeches of some important leaders, write some insights, practice writing, practice calligraphy, master some scientific and technological knowledge, learn computers, and surf the Internet. Exercise, etc. There are many things to do anyway, so don’t let yourself be idle. If you have nothing to do, dig holes and play mahjong, you will have wasted your time. What a pity, what a pity!

A person's life is to survive in struggle, to develop in struggle, to grow strong in struggle, and to become rich in struggle. There is no such thing as a millionaire falling from the sky. Only those who work hard can create excellent results. People with excellent grades still worry about being rich? God rewards those who work hard.
