How important for individuals and countries think about future, rather than focusing on present?

As the world is developing at an unprecedented rate today, it is increasingly important for individuals and countries to take realistic steps in the present as well as set feasible goals for the future. In my opinion, we should attach equal significance to the present and future.

We have learned enough from experience that if we want to accomplish anything in future, we must lay a solid foundation now. High school graduates who aims at a top university has to make great effort to improve his academic standard to a qualified level in order to win admission of his ideal university. Similarly, a country must take proper, practical measures to better its internal industrial and economic conditions so as to create a prosperous environment, attract domestic and foreign investment, and ensure sustained healthy growth of its economy.

On the other hand, making a sensible plan for future and constantly adjust the present actions against this plan is essential to guarantee the final success. Unlike other animals, men are future-oriented beings, who may easily get lost without a clearly-set goal in his mind. Millions of people regret that they have not achieved success simply because they never knew where they should have gone when they were young. The same is true with countries. For instance, a blind imitation of international building styles and a lack of long-term city planning to preserve their characteristic architectures have eventually taken their tolls in many towns in China, leaving the cities as ugly hybrids of many meaningless, contradictory styles.

It is self-evident from the above analysis that to maintain desirable and sustainable development, we must wisely treat the present and future; as negligence of either aspect may lead to regrettable failures of even irrepairable disasters.

第二篇：思想汇报写作模板

（三）思想汇报的写作

要求入党的同志为了使党组织更好的了解自己，接受党组织的教育和监督，要积极主动地向党组织汇报自己的思想、工作和学习情况，自觉培养自己的组织观念，提高思想觉悟。一般情况下，每半年至少口头或书面汇报一次。

向党组织写思想汇报，顾名思义，主要是写自己的思想情况，当然也要涉及工作和学习。具体内容根据每个人的不同情况而定。如果对党的路线、方针、政策或一个时期的中心任务有什么看法，可以在汇报中阐明自己的态度，写清楚自己的认识或自己的还存有什么疑虑，理解不清的问题等；如果参加重要活动或学习重要文章，可以把自己所受的教育、体会和认识写给党组织；如遇到了个人利益和国家利益、集体利益发生矛盾时，可以把自己有了哪些想法，如何对待和处理的情况向党组织汇报。如果为了使党组织对自己最近的思想情况有所了解，那就要把自己的思想状况有了哪些进步，存在什么问题以及今后如何提高等写清楚。在汇报的最后部分，可写上自己对党组织的请求和希望，如希望党组织加强对自己的培养教育，或请党组织派人找自己谈心，提出自己努力的方向等。

向党组织写思想汇报，最重要是真实，切忌空话、套话连篇的表面文章。值得注意的是，一方面，要求入党的同志要积极主动地向党组织汇报思想；另一方面，党组织要通过多种形式对有入党要求的同志进行培养和考察，全面分析一个同志的情况，不能简单地用汇报次数的多少来衡量他是否积极靠近党组织。

思想汇报

敬爱的党组织：

倍受国内外、党内外广泛关注的中国共 产 党第十六次全国代表大会顺利完成全部议程，于11月x日胜利闭幕了了。作为一名入党积

极分子，我向党组织表示衷心地祝贺！几天来，我怀着激动而喜悦的心情反复学习有关会议报道，在大会报告见报后，更是认认真真逐字逐句反复研读，心情倍受振奋，久久无法平静。我渴望加入党组织，在党的领导下奉献全面建设小康社会伟大事业的愿望更加激烈了。

通过学习,我认识到“三个代表”重要思想是十六大报告的灵魂。十六大最重大的历史性贡献就是把“三个代表”重要思想与马克思列宁主义、毛泽东思想、邓小平理论一道确立为党的指导思想。这样做既是全党的共同心声,也反映了人民的心愿。十六大也必将以这一点而被载入党的历史发展的光辉史册。我坚信,这对于推进党的建设新的伟大工程,进一步统一全党同志的思想和行动,把智慧和力量凝聚在党的旗帜下,共同努力,艰苦奋斗,全面建设小康社会,有着重大的现实意义和深远的历史意义。

十六大报告的主题是全面建设小康社会。报告在科学总结十五大以来五年工作和十三届四中全会以来十三年基本经验的基础上,联系党成立以来的八十多年历史,在把其最终归结为党必须始终做到“三个代表”的同时,立足世界、立足时代、立足国情,以史为鉴,科学谋划我国在二十一世纪头一、二十年的经济和社会发展, 响亮地提出了报告的时代主题,即“高举邓小平理论伟大旗帜,全面贯彻‘三个代表'重要思想,继往开来,与时俱进,全面建设小康社会,加快推进社会主义现代化,为开创中国特色社会主义事业新局面而奋斗”。这一奋斗目标和现阶段任务,实事求是,催人奋进。作为一名时代青年,作为一名入党积极分子,我感到欢欣鼓舞,心头燃起为党为人民而建功立业的渴望。这一奋斗目标,将深深指引我走好今后的人生道路,把自己的青春年华无私奉献给建设小康社会的壮美事业、谱写人生的壮丽篇章!

十六大报告用了较大篇幅深刻论述了经济建设和经济体制改革、政治建设和政治体制改革、文化建设和文化体制改革,把全面建设小康社会、推进社会主义现代化建设的奋斗目标细化、具体化,思路清晰,符合实际、措施可行,对中国特色社会主义经济、政治、文化建设等各个方面进行了全面部署。这些论述,丰富和发展了建设中国特色社会主义的基本纲领,是指导我们全面建设小康社会的科学战略部署。

十六大报告在第十个部分深刻论述了加强和改进党的建设的战略举措。报告指出,加强和改进党的建设,一定要高举邓小平理论伟大

旗帜,全面贯彻“三个代表”重要思想,保证党的路线方针政策全面反映人民的根本利益和时代发展的要求：一定要坚持党要管党、从严治党的方针,进一步解决提高党的领导水平和执政水平、提高拒腐防变和抵御风险能力这两大历史性课题；一定要准确把握当代中国社会前进的脉搏,改革和完善党的领导方式和执政方式、领导体制和工作制度,使党的工作充满活力；一定要把思想建设、组织建设和作风建设有机结合起来,把制度建设贯穿其中,既立足于做好经常性工作,又抓紧解决存在的突出问题。通过锲而不舍的努力,保证我们党始终是中国工人阶级的先锋队,同时是中国人民和中华民族的先锋队,始终是中国特色社会主义事业的领导核心,始终代表中国先进生产力的发展要求,代表中国先进文化的前进方向,代表中国最广大人民的根本利益。我相信,只要党按照这“四个一定要”去全面推进党的建设伟大工程,我们党就能够永远保持蓬勃朝气、昂扬锐气和浩然正气,在纷繁复杂的国际形势下,在需要克难攻坚的新任务面前接受历史、时代和人民的考验,把中国特色社会主义推向前进,带领人民实现中华民族的伟大复兴。

十六大报告的精髓是解放思想、实事求是、与进俱进。时代在前进,我们的党也在不断解放思想、实事求是、与时俱进。把“三个代表”重要思想作为党的指导思想写在党的旗帜上,是党在思想理论上的创新；把全面建设小康社会作为现阶段的奋斗目标,是在党和国家任务问题上的与时俱进。这些创新、这种与时俱进符合实际,完全正确。我坚信,一个与时俱进的政党,必将永葆旺盛的生机与活力,永葆强大的创造力、凝聚力、战斗力。

作为入党积极分子,我决心在今后的工作中,在党的领导下,紧密团结在党组织周围,以自己的实际行动宣传十六大精神,贯彻十六大精神,立足本职、开拓创新,用优异的成绩向党和人民汇报,为全面建设小康社会、为中华民族实现伟大复兴而贡献自己的全部力量
