Promoting the Spirit of Perseverance

Xi Jinping first highlighted the importance of perseverance at the second meeting of the Second Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee on February 28, 2013. He compared this quality to what is required to drive nails. More often than not, you cannot drive a nail into its right place in one go. Effective nailing requires repeated precision hammering. And to put your project in place, you have to repeat the same process of precision hammering many times. Failing that, you will end up with a shoddy project that is likely to fail apart any time. Since that meeting, Xi has on many occasions emphasized the virtue of perseverance. 

Perseverance requires a combination of a pragmatic and down-to-earth approach to tackling challenges and a keen understanding of any underlying problems and the larger context. It is a mindset that is key to overcoming heavy odds and winning an uphill battle.

發(fā)揚(yáng)釘釘子精神

2013年2月28日，在中共十八屆二中全會(huì)第二次全體會(huì)議上，習(xí)近平首次對(duì)釘釘子精神進(jìn)行了詳細(xì)闡述：我們要有釘釘子的精神，釘釘子往往不是一錘子就能釘好的，而是要一錘一錘接著敲，直到把釘子釘實(shí)釘牢，釘牢一顆再釘下一顆，不斷釘下去，必然大有成效。如果東一榔頭西一棒子，結(jié)果很可能是一顆釘子都釘不上、釘不牢。此后習(xí)近平多次強(qiáng)調(diào)釘釘子精神。

釘釘子精神要求真抓實(shí)抓，所蘊(yùn)含的是知行合一、務(wù)實(shí)重行的精神，攻堅(jiān)克難、敢于擔(dān)當(dāng)?shù)木瘛！鞍l(fā)揚(yáng)釘釘子的精神”既是一種工作方法，更是一種工作態(tài)度。
