The words on the handwritten newspaper are studious and thoughtful.

Integration of learning, thinking, knowing and doing.

-Reading Ye Bo's How to Pick up Shells

After Ye Bo was transferred from the director of the Municipal Science and Technology Bureau to the director of the CPPCC Science, Education, Culture and Health Committee, he compiled the papers, essays and essays written over the years into a book, which was published by South China University of Technology Press before the 60th anniversary of the founding of his alma mater. Ye Bo consulted me in the process of compiling materials and planning and editing this book, and I also actively participated in this matter, including the naming of the book, the typesetting of the manuscript, and even the proofreading and printing of the manuscript. I inspected the school carefully before it was published. After the book was published, I always wanted to write down some of my feelings. I watched it slowly again during the Spring Festival holiday. I really benefited a lot from opening the book. I read it again and gained new gains. Reading the article in Knowing and Doing Picking up Shells, I deeply feel that this is the ideological crystallization of the author's continuous learning, continuous thinking, continuous struggle and progress, and continuous summing up experience in his years of work and life; At the same time, it is also the author's insight review of society, work and life. What impressed me most was that for a long time, Ye Bo attached importance to study, was good at thinking and summing up, and was good at constantly summing up his own life experience from his life and work practice, integrating theory with practice, and putting the insights gained from practice into words. As Professor Liu Shudao, former Party Secretary of South China University of Technology, said in the preface of the book, "Ye Bo alumni not only constantly explore the unknown, but also try their best to know before acting, and strive to practice the integration of knowledge and practice, which is commendable."

First, attach importance to learning, constantly enrich knowledge, enrich life and meet various challenges.

Ye Bo studied science and engineering at South China University of Technology and worked in Dianbai County Porcelain Factory for 18 years. It can also be said that he is a leading cadre who has grown up step by step from the grassroots. He is knowledgeable, loves his job, and does every job well, which is affirmed and praised by his superiors and colleagues. I think this is inseparable from the author's emphasis on learning all his life. Whether "knowing is easier said than done" or "difficult to know and easy to do", to achieve "knowing" means learning and then learning. The author's work speech in Thanksgiving Speech, or talking about family with his son, or his essay on learning, all put emphasis on learning in an important position.

Seven years of scientific and technological work at the beginning of this book is an article with the nature of work summary, but the focus is on learning. It is pointed out that "lifelong learning is an inexhaustible source of scientific and technological work." Talking about the importance of learning, quoting classics and convincing people by reasoning, it is pointed out that "reading and learning is the fundamental way for individuals to increase their knowledge, wisdom and skills" and "if you want to succeed, you must learn something; If you have learned something, you must read something. " And "how to learn" and "what to learn" are deeply analyzed. For example, reading and learning should grasp seven relationships, including: busy and leisure, knowledge and action, precision and communication, reading and thinking, learning and application, thickness and thinness, books and friends. There are detailed explanations to improve the seven abilities in reading learning, so that readers can be deeply educated and realize the benefits of reading learning.

In the resignation speech of "Nine Years of Scientific and Technological Work", the author also put learning new knowledge in the first place. He used his own experience to prove that "the renewal of knowledge, the advancement of work, the accumulation of experience and the improvement of ability all come from learning." Therefore, we should "study all our lives and study tirelessly." In the article "Open-minded and Happy Work", talking about the five years of government-run work, the author also puts "learning feelings" in the first place to do a good job in the work of the secretary-general, which shows that the author attaches importance to learning. In many other articles, my son and I talked about the workplace and family, and also put learning in the most important position, advocating that reading and learning should be "three in one", that is, heart to heart, eye to eye, mouth to mouth, and especially heart to heart, which is very reasonable. It is pointed out that "learning, learning and re-learning are eternal themes, spiritual wealth in the process of life practice, and inexhaustible motive force for establishing confidence and belief." "Through learning, we should take the essence of books, gather the strengths of many families, apply what we have learned, and make ourselves well-founded, well-founded, successful in thinking, scientific in decision-making, good in decision-making and smooth in future work." This is the author's many years of life and work experience, and he attaches importance to learning knowledge.

Pursuing the author's life experience, whether in Dianbai Porcelain Factory, Maoming Economic Commission, municipal government office or municipal science and technology bureau, is a tireless pursuit of learning knowledge with the continuous growth and promotion of the author. The author understands his life, attaches importance to learning, constantly enriches his knowledge and enriches himself to meet the challenge of work and take a good life path. It will be of great benefit to readers if they can savor these experiences carefully and learn from the author's success.

Second, be diligent in thinking, use more brains, and turn the insights in practice into empirical results.

"Learning without thinking is useless, and thinking without learning is dangerous." Learning is the premise of doing a good job and taking a good life path, but learning alone is not enough. Be good at thinking and summarizing in your study. Ye Bo pays more attention to constant thinking in his work and study, often sums up the way to success in his work, and expresses the insights gained in his work practice and investigation in words, so that readers can share his achievements.

Being good at thinking is one of the greatest characteristics of the book Learning to Pick Shells. It can also be said that the papers, essays and testimonials included in this book are all the results of the author's thinking, showing the light of speculation everywhere. In the article "Essentials of Professional Quality Training", it is put forward that "thinking determines the way out" and "use your brain carefully and don't worry; Be careful in everything and feel at ease everywhere. " "Do everything carefully." These are very insightful views. The author always pays attention to thinking and summing up experience in his work. His "Seven Years of Scientific and Technological Work" and "Nine Years of Scientific and Technological Work" are the results of his thinking at a certain stage in his work. In the seven-year testimony, in addition to focusing on learning, I also focused on summing up several issues that should be paid attention to in how to do a good job in scientific and technological work. Every point is very insightful, and it is the crystallization of wisdom that I keep thinking about in my work. In his nine-year speech leaving the Science and Technology Bureau, he summed up nine experiences from his nine-year work, including learning knowledge, grasping opportunities, being brave in practice, solving problems and establishing mechanisms. As a departure speech, he is earnest and full of wisdom and hope, which shows that the author has made great efforts.

Zhixing's next "Learning Research" contains theoretical articles written by the author for many years, which have been published in public journals or given to leaders for decision-making. These theoretical articles can be closely linked with practice, especially their own work, master first-hand information, and draw their own conclusions through analysis. For example, Thoughts on Accelerating the Construction of Maoming's World-class Petrochemical Base, Let Scientific and Technological Innovation Play a Leading and Supporting Role in the Construction of Binhai New Area, etc., have a broad vision, rigorous argumentation, standing high and far-sighted, and demonstrated Maoming's practice and ideas in building Binhai New Area and building a world-class petrochemical base in theory and practice. Another example is the current situation, characteristics and ideas of independent innovation in science and technology in Maoming, the development trend of high-tech industry in Maoming is good, and the improvement of comprehensive development and utilization level to rebuild the new advantages of Maoming kaolin, which was written for the investigation of scientific and technological innovation in Maoming, high-tech industry in Maoming and the development and utilization of Maoming kaolin resources. These articles can closely follow the local conditions in Maoming, conduct in-depth investigation and study, obtain first-hand materials, and then put forward their own opinions after thinking and analysis. Each article has its own uniqueness. This is the concrete embodiment that the author is good at thinking and summing up experience. What's more important is to correctly handle the relationship between "knowledge" and "action". We should not only use theory to guide practice, but also constantly explore true knowledge in practice, so as to achieve "unity of knowledge and action" well. It is even more valuable to sum up the feelings in work practice and write an empirical article for readers to share their research results.

Third, always be grateful, be grateful for life, and strive to take a good life path.

As a collection of theoretical works integrating theory with practice, or as a collection of essays by the author, Knowing How to Pick up Shells is full of speculative philosophy. While understanding the author's successful life experience, he also learned how to treat work and life. In particular, I am trying to find out why the author is politically optimistic, pursuing and exploring, and keeping clean and honest. In the pursuit of the author's ideological roots, I realized the author's deep friendship with the party, society, teachers, friends, parents and relatives in reading. Reading between the lines, I can read that the author is always grateful, which is touching to read.

Meeting Bole on the Way to Work is a nostalgic work and a grateful article. The author recalled his work experience in Dianbai County Porcelain Factory, his study experience in South China University of Technology, his transfer from the porcelain factory to the Municipal Economic Commission, and his subsequent experience as deputy secretary-general of the municipal government and director of the Municipal Science and Technology Bureau, and thanked his leaders and friends who helped and cared for him along the way. The author said with deep affection: "Looking back on my work path, I have the honor to meet many Bole people who have always cared for, supported and nurtured me. In my opinion, the people who have trained you, guided you and supported you must be' noble people' and' Bole' in your life. We must learn to be grateful, always grateful, always grateful, and always enjoy the happiness of contentment. " It is because of a sense of gratitude that the author is always full of enthusiasm and hard work. In his article "Thoughts on revisiting the Huanghuagang Martyrs Cemetery", he missed the martyrs and felt the happy life today. "Take a walk here, have a look and think about it. It will inspire our will, enlighten our lives, establish our beliefs, cultivate our ideals, improve our spirit and strive for self-improvement. " It is necessary to "think about the source of drinking water, and be blessed when you are born." It is with such gratitude that the author can cultivate self-cultivation and be open-minded in various life experiences. As the author said, "We should be able to bear loneliness, keep poverty, see through life, take our own life path, take our own political path, be a person trusted by organizations and the masses, be a person respected by colleagues and friends, be a person that relatives and children can be proud of, and be a person who can look back on life with a clear conscience."

I am always grateful, which is expressed in many of the author's essays. As a deep gratitude to his alma mater, the author fondly recalls the feelings of teachers, students and classmates in his articles, such as Random Thoughts on the 60th Birthday of Alma Mater, Hundred Steps of Alma Mater, and Meet Again Thirty Years Later. The deep memory of my alma mater is reflected in various actions, such as returning to my alma mater for further study after leaving for 26 years, temporarily contacting the teachers of that year for dinner, and getting together with more than a dozen teachers, so that the author can sincerely send out "thank you, my respected teacher!" Sigh. The 100-step ladder of my alma mater, the grass and trees of that year, the class situation of that year and the teacher's teaching of that year are all in my heart. In the reminiscence article written at the 30th anniversary party, I even expressed such feelings: "Besides the affection of parents, brothers and sisters, what feelings are more precious and eternal than those of teachers, students and classmates of my alma mater?"

When recalling the fun of childhood, the author is also full of gratitude to his parents and relatives. In many essays, such as Interesting Childhood, Parents Love Boundless, Hometown Love, etc. I recall interesting things in my childhood, my relatives in my hometown and miss my parents' care and love for me. When I was a teenager, my father took the author to Maoming for medical advice and walked back and forth all day. Recalling the love of parents, the author wrote: "There are many kinds of love in the world, and only the love of parents for their children is the most sincere, deepest, sincere, persistent, selfless, noble and greatest." I hope everyone, "If there is an opportunity, you should repay your parents' great love. "

The author is always grateful, and putting gratitude in work, life and life is also a kind of "unity of knowledge and action". Being able to persist in lifelong learning, be diligent in thinking, constantly sum up life experience, and guide yourself to take a good life path in work, study and life, so that you will certainly walk better and more fully in the course of life. The author uses his own life experience to interpret the life experience of "studious and thoughtful, knowing and doing in one, always grateful". If the reader can get an understanding from the book "Picking up Shells and Knowing", it will not waste the author's thoughts.
