Essential requirement

In today's society, lifelong learning is a requirement, an inevitable demand for soldiers not only to improve professional capacity but also to contribute to building a strong unit, meeting the requirements of the task of protecting the Fatherland in the new situation. It is not simply learning at school, in books but also from comrades, teammates, from practical requirements of work and life to develop oneself and improve moral qualities; have leadership and management methods and correct, breakthrough decisions on a scientific basis... Soldiers absolutely must not be arrogant, satisfied with their knowledge and understanding, subjective, and take learning lightly.

The Party Committee and the Command of the 16th Artillery Brigade create all conditions to encourage soldiers to study for life, participate in regular study, develop their own capacity, first of all to become artillery soldiers with "brass feet, iron shoulders, good fighting, accurate shooting"; actively renew thinking, acquire new, advanced, modern knowledge and boldly propose changes in thinking and working methods that are no longer suitable... In order to contribute to the effective implementation of these policies, as a commander, I always actively self-study, self-train, self-renew myself in thinking and working methods. Moreover, the training and combat readiness practices in the unit are always rich and constantly changing, forcing me to flexibly apply knowledge, draw experience from specific situations to form sharp thinking, political perspective, and a stronger character. I find that lifelong learning is not difficult, the most important thing is to have the will, determination, goals, and right motivation to compete.

Never stop learning to get better

For me, learning is a journey that has no end. Even when you are successful, you still need to learn to avoid falling behind; learn at school, learn in real life, from documents, from colleagues and learn from your own experiences. Being aware of self-study and learning with a serious attitude will help us progress and mature. Only when we learn for life, will we have many ideas, solutions and initiatives to solve new problems. Based on that thought, I am always conscious of learning about political theory, expertise, profession, methods, experience and teamwork ability to improve discipline and promote combined strength.

The nature of the subject and the military pedagogical environment requires teachers to always be close, listen, and know how to share their experiences about learning methods with students. Therefore, I proactively seek suitable methods to stimulate logical thinking, the ability to synthesize and analyze problems, and inspire students. I often ask questions that stimulate creative thinking so that students can debate, creating closeness between teachers and students, thereby helping students always be interested in learning shooting and inspiring them in the field that I love.

Not only learning about expertise and profession

In my opinion, lifelong learning is constantly cultivating knowledge, skills and experience to improve oneself and adapt to the development of society. In the field of military medicine, technology and treatment methods are always changing, and diseases are complicated, so self-study is a key factor to improve professional qualifications and fulfill tasks well. Therefore, I always set specific goals, take advantage of free time to research and cultivate knowledge through books, forums, specialized seminars online as well as practical work; from reality and from comrades and teammates to improve emergency examination skills, admission and treatment, combine modern medicine with traditional medicine and soft skills such as communication, time management and emergency handling. But that is not enough to become a good military doctor, so I always cultivate and practice ethics, life skills, team spirit and the ability to adapt to all circumstances. As a result, I am increasingly more confident in my work, can perform well the assigned tasks, and contribute to protecting the health of soldiers and people more effectively.

Young officers need to actively study and practice on their own.

As a young officer fresh out of school, I realize that I am still limited in some aspects. That is the ability to handle situations because reality is very different and diverse, requiring the commander to have the ability to make quick judgments to give decisive and correct orders. I also need to practice more on communication skills and command capacity to be able to command the unit effectively, maintain good relationships between superiors and subordinates, between comrades and teammates, especially the relationship of solidarity between the army and the people. To overcome the above limitations, I always try to learn and gain experience from comrades, teammates and predecessors; learn and research more about specialized technical and tactical knowledge of the military branch; practice team regulations... In my opinion, lifelong learning is not simply learning more specialized knowledge to serve the job but also includes personality training, thinking development and life skills. It is continuous learning to improve thinking ability, creativity in work, communication ability, working ability. At the same time, lifelong learning also includes maintaining diligence, perseverance and developing the spirit of dedication, patriotism, willingness to learn and change to develop oneself, meet the requirements of the task.

Strive to become a soldier and a useful citizen

During his lifetime, Uncle Ho instructed: "Military without politics is like a tree without roots, useless and harmful". Therefore, to become a useful person, in addition to studying and practicing to improve qualifications and skills in using weapons and equipment in the establishment, ensuring combat readiness, soldiers must also actively study politics. At the same time, learn cultural and social knowledge, expand understanding of history, culture, politics, economics and society to become useful citizens, actively contributing to the development of the country; learn soft skills to practice communication and coordination skills when performing tasks as well as meeting future work requirements. Therefore, I am always proactive in researching, observing, learning from commanders, teammates and drawing on my own experiences; actively participating in collective activities, emulation movements, contributing to building a strong and comprehensive unit; Actively practice, strive to complete assigned tasks well and become a useful citizen, responsible to the community after discharge.
