Patriotism is not something general, abstract or "big sword", but according to Ho Chi Minh's thought, it is very concrete, practical work, is "better performing daily tasks". day", and that is "the foundation of emulation".
Performing well in daily tasks – the foundation of patriotic emulation
During his life and career of revolutionary activities, President Ho Chi Minh often cared for, mobilized the strength of the entire nation, and attracted the entire Party, army and people to actively participate in the cause. national liberation, construction and defense of the country.
Since then, in him, the ideology of patriotic emulation has been formed, with views and content on the work of mobilizing, organizing and leading emulation showing the unique, unique and bold characteristics. Ho Chi Minh imprint.
In Ho Chi Minh's thought, patriotic emulation is not only to arouse the patriotic spirit of all people, even though it is a matter of great importance, but it is more important and practical to transform That patriotic spirit into existing material strength, must be realized into concrete actions, and successfully carry out revolutionary tasks and patriotic works.
As 75 years ago, when issuing the "Call for patriotic emulation", President Ho Chi Minh pointed out that patriotic emulation is aimed at the successful implementation of the resistance war, national construction, "destroying the enemy". hunger, destroy the enemy of ignorance, destroy the enemy of foreign invaders".
Without aiming at the successful implementation of patriotic works, the emulation movement has no direction, is not specific, and loses its meaning and vitality.
However, patriotism is not something general, abstract or "big sword", but according to Ho Chi Minh's thought, it is very concrete and practical work, "better performing the day-to-day work”, and that is “the foundation of competition”.
He emphasized: “It is mistakenly thought that competition is something different from everyday tasks. In fact, daily work is the foundation of competition”.[1]
Therefore, emulation is not only conducted and organized for "big" things, but also in "small" things that need to be emulated on a daily basis. Breaking away from daily tasks, ignoring and ignoring "small" things, the emulation movement will not be practical and comprehensive.
This important thought on patriotic emulation has reflected a deep practical understanding of human emulation activities in life, the actual life of people of all classes, the core content of patriotic emulation in Ho Chi Minh. It is also an expression of creativity and uniqueness in his thought on patriotic emulation.
Unleash the power of competition
According to President Ho Chi Minh, the highest and most practical purpose of emulation is the independence, freedom and happiness of the people, so the scope of the current emulation is very broad, the emulation must be all-encompassing. representative, not limited to any field, any profession, any job, benefit the country, benefit the people... all need and may have to emulate.
"Everything that benefits the people for the sake of national livelihood, relations with the resistance war, and nation-building, we must emulate"[2].
Moreover, President Ho Chi Minh also pointed out that emulation is required by the entire people, to attract and mobilize the entire nation and all patriotic Vietnamese to participate. All people emulate patriotism, including soldiers, farmers, workers, merchants and soldiers; All ages, all genders, regardless of ethnicity or religion, etc., depending on conditions and circumstances, must participate in patriotic emulation. That means: “The emulation, the industry, the day of emulation”[3]; "Emulation must be all-people and comprehensive"[4].
Practice has proven that, from the point of view of "emulators", "emulation industries", "emulation every day", "all-people emulation", "comprehensive emulation" and taking "implementation of better than daily tasks” as President Ho Chi Minh's emulation foundation, our people have stepped up all activities, constantly developed and won in both the resistance war, building and defending the Fatherland Front. nation, building a new person, a new society.
