(1) Subjective initiative, also known as conscious initiative, refers to the positive effect of subjectivity on objectivity, and is a purposeful, planned and active activity and ability for people to understand and transform the world. Subjective initiative is unique to human beings, and it is the characteristic that distinguishes human beings from animals. Law is the internal, essential and inevitable connection between things and phenomena. It is the same concept as essence and inevitability. If we grasp the essence and internal relations of things, we can grasp the laws of things. Law is objective, stable, repeatable and universal.

(2) objective regularity and subjective initiative are two completely different fields, and objective regularity belongs to the material world itself; Subjective initiative belongs to consciousness. But both are unified in the materiality of the world. The relationship between them is dialectical.

① Respecting objective laws is the premise of giving full play to subjective initiative correctly.

Giving full play to people's subjective initiative is a necessary condition for understanding and utilizing objective laws.
