Ho Chi Minh's moral thought is ultimately the fine traditional moral values of the nation, the quintessence of human culture, smoothly combined with the advanced moral thought of the times. It is a moral thought for the people, for the people, loyal to the country, filial to the people, vividly expressed through the virtues: "Diligence, thrift, integrity, uprightness, impartiality, selflessness", simple and modest style throughout his life.
Studying and following Ho Chi Minh's ideology, morality and style is the way for each of us to understand the greatest lesson in Uncle Ho's ideology and morality, which is that all values must be tested through practice. In his work Revolutionary Ethics, Uncle Ho wrote: "Morality is not something that falls from the sky, it is acquired through daily practice, just like jade becomes brighter the more it is polished, or gold becomes purer the more it is refined. A revolutionary must have revolutionary morality. Without revolutionary morality, if you are corrupt and degenerate, what can you do for the people and the country?
Therefore, continuing to implement Directive 05 of the Politburo is a way for us to turn studying and following Ho Chi Minh's ideology, morality and style into a driving force for our entire Party, people and army to promote internal strength, overcome difficulties and challenges, successfully implement the Resolution of the 13th National Party Congress and all revolutionary tasks in the new period; so that each Party member and cadre is increasingly worthy of the role and mission of leading the Vietnamese revolution and the trust of the people. Especially when this movement is carried out in parallel with continuing to promote the fight against corruption, negativity and waste, directly directed by General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong and has achieved many important results.
Implementing Conclusion 01 of the Politburo, over the past 2 years, many Party members and cadres, including some key leaders at the Central and local levels, have been disciplined for their degeneration. However, there are also many typical and advanced individuals and collectives in all fields and patriotic emulation movements who have been promptly commended and recognized. Using the good to eliminate the bad, using positive factors to push back the negative; each Party member and cadre knows how to put themselves in the people's shoes, accept the people's supervision, look at themselves in reality to understand themselves, and take the lead in the fight to push back the degradation of political ideology, morality, and lifestyle, and preserve the qualifications of Party members.
Studying and following Ho Chi Minh's ideology, morality and lifestyle means learning a high-level cultural behavior, learning the virtues of humility, independence, self-reliance, creativity, daring to think, daring to do, daring to innovate, daring to take responsibility for the common interests of the nation; being ready to abandon backwardness and outdatedness to move towards new things of the times; cadres, party members, leaders, and first of all, high-ranking leaders of the Party and State must set a shining example of revolutionary morality, exemplary personality and lifestyle; not being corrupt, not being influenced by interest groups; not allowing family members or relatives to take advantage of their work positions for personal gain; seeing the right must be resolutely protected, seeing the wrong must be resolutely fought against.
Remembering Uncle Ho in May, we are more deeply aware of his simple yet profound advice:“A Party, a nation and each individual, yesterday was great, loved and respected by everyone, does not mean today is still respected by everyone, if the heart is no longer pure, falling into individualism”.
Understanding that, we can see that learning and following Uncle Ho is to "make our hearts purer and our minds brighter", so that each person knows how to step over the bad and seek the good; to make ourselves more and more perfect, to contribute to building our Party to be increasingly cleaner, stronger, and more worthy of the trust and expectations of the people./.
