GUIDELINES FOR MYSELF – ZHOU EN LAI

 March 18, 1943

  1. Study diligently, grasp essentials, concentrate on one subject rather than seeking a superficial knowledge of many.
  2. Work hard and have a plan, a focus and a method.
  3. Combine study with work and keep them in proper balance according to time, place and circumstances; take care to review and systematize; discover and create.
  4. On the basis of principles, resolutely combat all incorrect ideology in others as well as in myself.
  5. Insofar as possible, make the most of my strengths and take concrete steps to overcome my weaknesses.
  6. Never become alienated from the masses; learn from them and help them. Lead a collective life, inquire into the concerns of the people around you, study their problems and abide by the rules of discipline.
  7. Keep fit and lead a reasonably regular life. This is the material basis for self-improvement.
