A Yardstick for Thought and Practice

One day Chairman Kim Jong Il arrived in a certain place with his officials to definitely select the building site of an ice rink. He looked round at the wide vacant ground lying between the indoor stadium and the Changgwang Health Complex. He was hugely delighted to say that when the rink was built there the indoor stadium and its surroundings would turn into an ideal place.

The officials voiced their intention to begin building the ice rink at once even the next day.

Kim Jong Il was lost in thought for a while. He said that it naturally followed that the comments of the people on the ice rink should be listened to because it would be used by them and that while preparations for its construction were pushed forward a model of it must be made according to the plan and the different opinions of the people on it should be heard. He suggested to discuss the construction of the ice rink after that.

Consequently, a balloon was floated as high as the future ice rink on its selected building site, and many ropes were conically suspended from the balloon in the shape of the ice rink for everyone to envision in time and space what it looked like and how tall and big it was.

The officials informed Kim Jong Il that the people remarked as one that the future ice rink looked like a novel unique one and was appropriately high and that its site, too, was most suitable. Very much satisfied with this, he said that the ice rink was good enough because it was to the people’s liking and that their demand for architectural art grew considerably great. He warmly suggested to build the ice rink on the highest level with their demand as a yardstick.

Under the meticulous guidance of Kim Jong Il the ice rink was built excellently to please the people.
