  He who does not seek the overall situation does not seek a domain.

  Insist on considering the problem from the overall situation. Deepening reform in an all-round way is a major strategic deployment related to the overall development of the cause of the party and the state, not a single reform in a certain field."Those who don’t seek the overall situation don’t seek a domain."Everyone from different departments and units should look at the problem from the overall situation. First of all, we should see whether the proposed major reform measures meet the overall needs and are conducive to the long-term development of the cause of the party and the state. We must truly look forward, think ahead, and plan ahead. Only in this way can the final document truly meet the development requirements of the cause of the party and the people.

  If you can improve yourself in a day, do so each day, forever building on improvement.

  China is a country undergoing profound changes. Our ancestors have long put forward the idea that "the sky is healthy, and the gentleman strives for self-improvement", emphasizing the need to"if you are new, you will be new, and you will be new."Moving forward in the fierce international competition is like sailing against the current. If you don’t advance, you will retreat. Reform is caused by the problem, and it is deepened by constantly solving the problem. We emphasize that reform and opening-up is only carried out when it is not completed.
