How to improve the writing level of official documents
Zhihu users recently read the experience of an "old pen" who has been engaged in official document writing for more than 30 years, and were deeply touched. His insights are interlocking and his experience is meticulous, which is really the "experience" condensed for many years. Special forwarding. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Some people say that articles in the world are generally copied, and writing a leader's speech is nothing more than searching online and copying in newspapers. Isn't that simple? Actually, it's not. Office manuscript writing is a university question and a compulsory course for a good secretary. You know, what is the most painful thing about being a secretary? It was your hard-working manuscript that was changed beyond recognition by the leader. You know, what is the most painful thing about being a secretary? It was your hard-working manuscript that was ordered to be rewritten by the leader. You know, what is the most painful thing about being a secretary? That is, the manuscript you worked so hard to write was repeatedly praised by the leaders as "good, good, good", and then you threw it on your desk, only to find your notebook at the meeting ... Hehe, it is estimated that you are not far from being laid off gloriously. It's very difficult to be a secretary. To write a good manuscript and satisfy the leaders, you have to think it over carefully and master the tricks. One of my experiences: the orientation of the manuscript should adapt to the leadership. There is a saying: "If you want to learn materials, you should learn leadership first". What kind of written materials are good materials, not materials with gorgeous words and high literary talent, but materials suitable for leaders. So you should always contact the leader and pay attention to what he has said and written recently. The more information, the better. Remember to pay close attention to what leaders often repeat. Generally, a leader who repeats more than three times is a mature point of view. You must not miss it when writing a speech. Of course, we also need to study the speech habits of leaders. If you like to talk about parallelism, you should use parallelism more in your speech ... in short, everything should be oriented to the leader. Lesson 2: The delivery time should be just right. Perhaps, sometimes you will receive a handy speech, which will be completed in less than half an hour, and then give it to the leader immediately, waiting for his praise? You are wrong. No matter how well written the manuscript is, it's useless. At this time, the leader will think: "This boy has finished so quickly, and the work standard is not high. Is it perfunctory? " So, even if the manuscript is changed perfectly, don't hand it in in a hurry. Of course, you can't hand it in too late, otherwise it will leave the impression of "procrastination and inefficiency" to the leaders. When is the best time to contribute? I don't feel like I have time to rewrite it. Hehe, don't be too tired! Lesson 3: The quality of writing should be handled well. Even if your writing level is very high, don't be sharp-edged, you should learn to hide your strength. Perhaps, as a secretary, the most enjoyable thing is that the leader does not change a word of your manuscript; As a leader, the most uncomfortable thing is that you can't change a word of the manuscript. Let me tell you a little story first. An organization has two secretaries with similar writing skills. Secretary A is used to writing the manuscript perfectly, while Secretary B often leaves some insignificant mistakes for the leaders to correct. A few years later, Secretary A stopped, but Secretary B went straight up. Secretary A couldn't figure it out, and Secretary B hit the nail on the head: "It's not that my manuscript is not well written. Manuscripts are allowed to be revised by leaders. On the one hand, let the leaders reflect the superior level, on the other hand, let the leaders feel that it is the result of their own labor. Think about it carefully, the manuscript you wrote doesn't need to be revised by the leader, you can be the leader directly. " Why? Needless to say, you should understand. The way for novices to "get on the road" as soon as possible Anyone who has just stepped onto the post of secretary wants to get familiar with the situation as soon as possible, write independently as soon as possible, and even can't wait to become a "big hand" at once. The "big hand" mentioned here refers to talented and excellent secretaries in party and government organs, departments and units at all levels. They are called "big hands" because they are knowledgeable, well-read and have a wide range of knowledge in all aspects, such as ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, party and government finance and literature, and have deep attainments in one or several aspects; Have a solid writing foundation, be familiar with various essentials such as typesetting, grammar, rhetoric, etc., and be familiar with the common sense of writing of various manuscripts of organs and be proficient in using them; Have keen insight and strong thinking ability, be able to analyze and deal with problems with correct positions, viewpoints and methods, be good at assisting politics with literature, and make suggestions for leaders; Have a high level of writing, not only quick thinking, relying on horses, but also wonderful writing and excellent quality; He is not only good at understanding the leadership intention, but also creative; Not only can I finish my writing task well, but I also often undertake the task of revising and sorting out manuscripts, which has played a leading role. However, we have to admit that although there are thousands of people engaged in writing at all levels, there are still not many people who can be called "big hands", and some units can't even find one after a thousand choices. No wonder some leading comrades often complain that it is too difficult to find a good pen, even more difficult than finding a wife! Unable to find it, some leading comrades had to write their own manuscripts, or make an outline to speak at the meeting first, and then let the secretary sort it out. Actually, why isn't the secretary in a hurry? They also want to be enviable "big hands", but for various reasons, they are always unable to get on the road, and most of the things they write are "shot" by the leaders! So how to make more secretaries become "big hands"? I think it is very important to attach importance to and cultivate leaders, but it is the hard work of secretaries themselves that plays a decisive role. Without hard work, it is useless for leaders to pay attention. As a secretary, you should have the ambition to "get ahead" in words. This is not arrogance, but a spirit. If you look down on yourself and don't put pressure on yourself, you will never be a big shot. In addition, we must master the methods, so as to avoid detours and mature faster. Specifically, it is necessary to pass the "three islands pass", adhere to the "three diligence" and achieve the "three noes". "Mishima Pass" means understanding, adaptation and foundation. The so-called "knowing the situation" means getting familiar with the situation as soon as possible, and getting a basic understanding of the basic situation and work operation of the region and the unit through various channels such as reading books and newspapers, reading documents, attending meetings, and investigating at the grassroots level, so as to gradually enter the "role". The so-called "adaptation" means adapting to the "climate" of office work and the professional characteristics of secretarial work as soon as possible, including the nature of work, scope of responsibilities, basic requirements and relevant rules and regulations, as well as how to get along with leaders and colleagues, how to think about problems, how to deal with grassroots cadres and the masses, etc. This is especially important for comrades who have never worked in an office or a secretary. If you adapt quickly, you can get on the road quickly; If you adapt slowly, you will naturally be slow on the road. The so-called "grass roots" refers to the basic common sense of organ manuscript writing, including types, formats, writing rules, writing requirements, processing methods and so on. Official documents should be understood and mastered. Read more, ponder more, ask more questions, grasp the regularity and standardization of things, and you will gradually get familiar with them. "Three diligence" means diligent accumulation, diligent writing and diligent comparison. It is very important for secretaries to accumulate information, which is not only an important way to master knowledge, but also a necessary means to do their job well. Similarly, some people may read books and newspapers as a pastime, and carelessly throw them away after reading them, but secretarial staff must not, but pay attention to them everywhere and pay attention to accumulation. The so-called accumulation, is to learn, see, and other valuable things that must be mastered, in some way (or tools) together, so that it increases day by day. Accumulation is actually knowledge. What is its function? One is for future reference, in case you forget; Second, citing is convenient for writing; The third is to inspire and help thinking; The fourth is "nutrition" to enrich knowledge. Even if some things will never be used, but because of the record, the impression has deepened, in fact, your knowledge has played a subtle role. It can be seen that being diligent in accumulation is not only for beginners, but also for those "big hands" who have achieved perfection. Because things are constantly developing and changing, the accumulation of knowledge should never stop and never be satisfied. What secretaries need to accumulate includes many aspects, which I think can be roughly divided into five categories: first, major policies and important speeches; Second, aphorisms and good sentences; 3. Major events and important events (including major events, important achievements and important lessons in the fields of history and reality, domestic and foreign, local and foreign, material civilization and spiritual civilization, etc.); Fourth, advanced models and experiences emerged in the construction of two civilizations; The fifth is the basic situation and work operation. The accumulated content can be focused, the comprehensive department is relatively comprehensive, and the professional department is relatively concentrated. In short, how to increase knowledge, how to do a good job, and how to accumulate, the only thing that is not desirable is to be lazy and save trouble, and regard accumulation as an extra burden. There is a saying that "reading is like writing", and what we are pursuing is "building up a lot". Without "thick accumulation and thin hair", there would be no "thin hair". Every secretary who is interested in becoming a talent should strive to become a "rich man of knowledge" through learning and accumulation. The so-called "diligent pen practice" is of course a very important "compulsory course". Because we are new here, we still have a long way to go to get the big draft. We should honestly and seriously start writing "tofu blocks" and "matchboxes", such as notices and briefings. From easy to difficult, from shallow to deep, practice makes perfect. Of course, you can also put pressure on yourself: since the task of drafting a big draft can't be rolled out for the time being, you can secretly write it from beginning to end according to the agreed outline, even if you struggle, it doesn't matter. After all, this is an exercise. Then undertake a certain part, and then write an article independently, once not twice, twice not three times, and over time, you will find the doorway. The so-called "diligent comparison" is to repeatedly study those high-quality manuscripts, see how others write them, imagine what it would be like if they were written by themselves, and find out their own shortcomings. Another good way is to keep your own draft, even if it is changed beyond recognition through leadership or "big-handed" revision, and then make a comparative analysis line by line, paragraph by paragraph and word by word to find out why people have changed this way and why they can't write that way, and get inspiration and lessons from it. "Three noes" means not afraid of failure, not complacent and half-hearted. The so-called "not afraid of failure" means that at the beginning of writing, you should have the spirit of "a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers" and the courage of "an ugly daughter-in-law is not afraid of meeting her in-laws", write boldly, practice hard and show your "foundation" without reservation. Success is good, but failure doesn't matter. In fact, this stage is often dominated by failure, but it is this failure that gradually becomes the ladder of success. Some comrades lack this psychological quality, are too competitive, too proud of face, afraid of failure, and afraid of being laughed at, so they are timid in writing, and it will become a problem if they can't suppress a few lines for a long time. It is also unacceptable for other comrades to see that their "works" have been "shot" or changed beyond recognition and become dejected and despondent. The so-called "don't rest on your laurels" means that you are not satisfied with what you get at one time and make down-to-earth progress, but you should constantly put pressure on yourself and strive for higher goals. As soon as some comrades touched some doorways, they thought they were great, relaxed their studies, and even began to do things like "scholars despise each other". This arrogance will inevitably become a stumbling block to progress. You know, there are mountains outside the mountain and buildings outside the building. A strong man has a strong hand, not to mention that you are just on the road. Only by taking achievements as a new starting line forever can we make new progress and breakthrough. The so-called "half-hearted" is to do one thing, love one thing, be distracted and concentrate. To tell the truth, the secretary is nothing, but after all, it is in the official C, and the official C is lively, complicated and even dazzling. In this case, the secretary should pay special attention to the word "peace of mind". If it is not quiet, it will float, if it is not quiet, it will be impetuous, and if it is not quiet, it will be difficult to accomplish anything.
