The spirit of self-reliance is a noble fighting spirit deeply associated with all victories and valuable gains won by the Korean people, and it is a historical review of the Korean revolution that one can always emerge victorious only when one weathers difficulties by relying on one's own efforts with belief in them, the article notes, and goes on:

The on-going drive for a great surge represents a general advance for performing fresh miracles and feats by dint of the mental power of self-reliance and fortitude, a grand march for making gigantic creation and innovations by fully tapping the potential of the self-supporting economy and a general offensive for effecting great innovations and making leap forward by dint of modern science and technology.

The spirit of "Yanji bomb" that pervaded the forests of Mt. Paektu and the spirit of fortitude which was prevalent during the period of great Chollima surge are given into fuller play in the present march of great surge and the Korean people are dashing ahead like a wind, weathering all difficulties in the revolutionary spirit of self-reliance. This is the immense pride of the DPRK.

Tremendous is the potential of the self-supporting national economy which the Korean people have built, fastening belts for decades under the leadership of the great party, the article notes, clarifying that unshakable is the will of the Korean people to thoroughly implement the party's line of attaching importance to science and technology and its idea of pushing back the frontiers of the latest science and thus scale the high eminence of a thriving nation by their own efforts and with their own technology and resources.
