1. Be good at accumulating and using information. Pavlov once said: "No matter how perfect a bird's wings are, it will never be able to fly into the sky without relying on air. Facts and information are the air of scientists. Without it, you will not be able to take off at any time; without it, you will never be able to fly into the sky. , your theory is a useless struggle. "For agency cadres, if they want to do their jobs well and write down materials well, it is impossible not to have various valuable materials for their reference. Although there are many ways to achieve self-improvement and transcendence, one thing is the same, which is to be good at accumulating various materials and learning to use the experience of others. It can also be called "borrowing the ladder to go upstairs" . Practice has proved that although some comrades were transferred to the agency at the same time and had similar foundations and conditions at the beginning, they distanced themselves after one or two years. A very important thing is to see whether they are good at learning and drawing on "stones from other mountains" . Verne, the famous French fantasy novelist, created more than 100 science fiction novels throughout his life, covering almost all fields of science and technology at that time. However, what seems more amazing than his creation itself is that after his death, people found in his study room more than 25,000 books of various materials that he had compiled and excerpted by himself. In the 1960s, when criticizing Khrushchev, Xinhua News Agency published nine comments. In the process of writing each comment, two veteran data workers from the International Department of the People's Daily were invited to provide advice and information. Because they ’s participation and cooperation played an “absolute” effect on the drafting of the comments. In ancient and modern times, all those who have achieved success in their careers are related to the accumulation and use of large amounts of information. In fact, most of the outstanding comrades in the organization have slowly grown and matured by being good at accumulating and using various materials. There are many ways to collect information, which are nothing more than self-accumulation, provision by units, departments, and organizations, investigation and research, consulting websites such as the Big Secretary Network, etc. Whatever method is good is used, and there is no fixed model. No matter what method you use, as long as you can collect the information you need, you have achieved your goal. Of course, the collection of information must comply with relevant confidentiality regulations, and no leakage of confidentiality should occur.
The purpose of accumulating data is to use the data. How to make good use of the data is very knowledgeable. One is to study the materials carefully. When cutting and pasting information, you must do it yourself, do not let others do it for you, and review it while cutting and pasting; be familiar with the collected information, read it carefully, and seize all the time to learn, understand, and digest important ideas, opinions, and information. Mark the examples, and keep them in mind if they are instructive or directly applicable, think about them carefully, and understand them over and over again. The purpose of this is to digest the content of the information and learn something new while reviewing the past. Through digestion and absorption, on the one hand, the information can be truly turned into a kind of useful information, which can be memorized in a certain position in the mind so that it can be easily retrieved and used when needed. On the other hand, one can learn the ideas and views and master the writing in it. Skills, experience the ideological realm, and draw nourishment from it. The second is to carefully select materials. Materials should be selected according to the needs of the document content, and the most typical and illustrative materials should be selected. For ease of use, the filtered information must be classified, and the selected information must be sorted and sorted into categories according to the requirements for the content of the official document. At the same time, rough processing should be carried out for some things that are related but cannot be used directly; for some important opinions, expressions and famous quotes, the sources should be carefully searched; for some important facts and figures, they should be verified and organized to ensure accuracy Correct. The third is to make good use of materials. This phenomenon is common. Some people cannot write materials without information, and cannot jump out of the information when they have it. They copy this and paste it, and the things they produce are all the same, without their own thoughts and opinions. This is actually a failure to use good information. The value of any information is relative and can only be used to open the door to ideas. Generally, do not engage in "use-ism". When using information, we need to be broad-based and go beyond the norm. When writing materials, you must dare to discard the materials and write on the basis of understanding the materials; or use the materials as a frame of reference for comparison and identification, and take the successes and brilliance among them; you can also choose weaknesses or even failures in the materials as " Compare with the "negative mirror" to see the difference, what is the reason, and what aspects are not in place, so as to seek breakthroughs. Only in this way will there be a leap in thinking that is newer than the original material, and will high-quality material be written that transcends the material itself. If the written materials drafted can originate from the data and be higher than the data, a new realm of accumulation and application of data will be reached.
Second, we must truly understand and grasp the leadership’s intentions. Official documents are not intended to record personal experiences or expound personal opinions, but are prepared in accordance with the leadership's will and work needs. The responsibility of the drafter is to fully reflect the leadership's intentions through written expressions, and to find ways to fully express the leadership's thoughts. They cannot take quotes out of context and do whatever they want, let alone "start from scratch." This requires the drafter to carefully consider the leader's intention, thinking direction, focus, etc., fully grasp it, and carefully ponder it. The more comprehensive and profound the grasp, the smoother the writing will be, and the more satisfied the leader will be.
1 is to actively expand leadership intentions. When some leading comrades explain their intentions, they only have some preliminary ideas, or they only raise questions from a certain angle or aspect.
When encountering this situation, the drafter should think about the problem from more levels and angles, draw inferences from one example, expand and extend the basic viewpoints formed by the leader, add in issues that the leader has not yet thought of but are more important, and make the leader simply dispersed Opinions are expanded into more comprehensive and systematic opinions. We cannot just listen to one thing, understand the leader's intention mechanically, and truly express fully what the leader wants to say but has not said.
2 is good at discovering leadership intentions. Some leaders only come up with a general topic and do not cover many specific issues in official document writing. When encountering this kind of situation, the drafter should first take the initiative to discuss and study with the leading comrades, seek guidance from the leadership, deepen the leadership's intentions, and then follow the leadership's ideological context to figure out what the leader requires to write, why they should write it, and what purpose they want to achieve. , so as to research and unearth newer and deeper things. When exploring leadership intentions, the drafter must also be good at combining the intentions of the leader in charge with those of other leaders, brainstorming, and embodying the principles of collective leadership and division of labor and responsibility.
3 is to strive to improve leadership intentions. In the process of writing official documents, some leaders did not think deeply enough, and their opinions were unclear and confusing; some did not think clearly and explained clearly for a while, but only had some perceptual understandings; some were not completely reasonable and necessary; some were not focused and unfocused. whole. In this regard, the drafter should communicate more with leaders, be good at refining and summarizing, filling in gaps, handle them carefully and appropriately, absorb and concentrate them reasonably, determine the uncertainties, upgrade perceptual things to rational things, and eliminate unnecessary things. , eliminate and supplement incomplete ones, clarify unclear issues, and further adjust and enrich inconsistencies, so as to reflect the leadership's intentions more comprehensively, completely, and accurately and ensure the quality of official documents.
4 is to capture leadership intentions in a timely manner. Cadres of government agencies have the convenience of frequent access to leaders and official documents. There are many ways to understand and capture the leadership’s intentions. They can obtain it from active inquiries, understand the leadership’s instructions, understand from criticism and praise, grasp the speech materials, and learn from the positive attitude. Zero is the whole. Especially when checking work, attending meetings, studying materials, dining, walking, and chatting with leaders, you should pay attention to the latest highlights in the leaders’ conversations, especially some new ideas and new viewpoints, and write them down without losing the opportunity, and carry out them. Inductive analysis. Because this shining point or these new ideas and new perspectives are likely to be a breakthrough in the leader's thinking on a certain issue.
3. Efforts should be made to reflect and enhance the ideological nature of written materials. Thought is the backbone and core of all written materials. It is people's profound understanding of contradictory problems and profound insights into their solutions. Written materials without ideas are equivalent to having no "soul". Articles rely on "ideas" to live forever, but without "souls" they die suddenly. To enhance the ideological nature of written materials, the most important thing is to be good at thinking about problems and putting forward countermeasures from the commanding heights of the overall situation and ideological theory, and to be good at using materialist dialectics, a great cognitive tool, to observe and analyze problems with a unique perspective, and to form a unified and complete and dialectical logical thinking aroused everyone's enthusiasm and gave people profound inspiration. In practice, we should pay attention to the following points:
1. Targetedness. Most written materials revolve around problems, and problems are the foundation and soul of the materials. The impact of written materials basically depends on whether they really grasp the problem and whether they are written for common existing problems. If it is written in response to a problem, the impact will be large, otherwise the impact will be small. Therefore, we must pay attention to grasping problems, grasping problems that “snap at the first touch”, and grasping common outstanding problems that are difficult to solve. This requires in-depth investigation and research, insight and analysis of problems with a high degree of sensitivity, firmly grasping the main issues that affect and restrict the construction of the unit, and establishing the theme of the written materials.
2 is to be general. We must jump out of local, perceptual, and superficial phenomena, use comprehensive, rational, and dialectical analysis to refine and sublimate our thoughts, and summarize things with regularity. This high degree of generalization is the essence of leadership thinking and the "eyes" of written materials, which has the finishing touch. For example, there is a material that summarizes the relationship between team members better: "If you have a good relationship, you will ignore things when you have something to do; if you have a bad relationship, you will look for trouble when nothing happens. If you have deep feelings, big things can be made small; if you have shallow feelings, small things can become big, and big things can be ignored." Explosion." Very enlightening and thought-provoking. Some materials generally look good, but they feel like there is something missing, often just a few highly summarized and concise sentences, which makes it difficult for people to leave a deep impression.
3 is to be profound. Profundity often determines the ideological nature of written materials. Analyzing problems must be in-depth, not satisfied with grasping the secondary, phenomena or details, but understanding the main and essential things; not satisfied with grasping the external characteristics of things, but exploring the internal connections of things; not satisfied with grasping the external characteristics of things; Be satisfied with the results in front of you, but also track the development trend; be not satisfied with mastering simple and broad-line problems, but also delve into difficult problems and examine details. It is necessary to identify the main contradiction among the many contradictions and to identify the core and essential reasons from the complex problems. Only in this way can the written material be profound and memorable.
The fourth step is to be original. Nowadays, a common problem in written materials is that there are a lot of big words, empty words, and clichés, which are empty and empty. To put it bluntly, they are a patchwork of "correct truths", reprints of superior documents, and clippings of newspaper articles.
To enhance the ideological nature of written materials, you must learn to think with your own head, do not rely on others, do not plagiarize other people's results, use your own words to express, cannot follow others' opinions, and must be able to independently put forward your own opinions.
5 is to be rational. The main function of written materials is to guide work. It should not only make everyone understand and understand, but also facilitate everyone's accurate understanding and implementation. This determines that the written materials must be able to explain the truth thoroughly. If this is achieved, the ideological nature will also be included. To master the art of reasoning, it usually must be in line with the spirit of the superiors and close to the actual situation of the unit; it must not only have a pertinent evaluation and deep understanding of the spirit of the superiors' meetings and documents, but also have the ability to turn the fictitious into the real and the big into the small. , the ability to turn abstractions into images and principles into concreteness; it must be comprehensive and dialectical, regardless of the loss of one thing or the other or even self-contradiction, and it must also be accurate and vivid, and it must not deviate from the tone and even deviate from the intentions of superiors and party committees to create another one, making people miss the point. Feeling baffled. Experienced comrades often use a typical example to explain a truth, and bury the profound in the simple, which often leads to enlightenment in many aspects and unexpected effects.
