When General Secretary Hu Jintao visited the members attending the fourth session of the 10th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, he proposed the socialist concept of honor and disgrace with the "Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces" as the main content, which embodies patriotism and collectivism. , the rich content of socialist thought, reflects the essential requirements of socialist basic moral norms and social customs, embodies the governance strategy of unifying the rule of law and the rule of virtue, is the perfect combination of traditional Chinese virtues and the spirit of the times, and is the ideal of socialism. The inheritance and development of moral construction ideas are important guidelines for further promoting the construction of spiritual civilization.
Study and practice the spirit of General Secretary Hu Jintao’s important speech on establishing the socialist concept of honor and disgrace. It is important for trade union cadres, especially trade union party members and cadres, to promote social integrity, advocate the spirit of the times, maintain and carry forward the glorious tradition of the working class, and elect It is of great significance to set the correct navigation mark in life.
How to establish a correct concept of honor and disgrace and choose the correct navigation mark in life? By deeply understanding its spiritual essence, we have the following four insights:
1. Strengthen your own ideological and moral construction. If a true Communist Party member wants to have the Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces, maintain the Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces, and represent the direction of social progress, he must use communist morality to demand himself in terms of ideological, moral and cultural construction, so that he can Become a model subject of noble morality in real life. First of all, in terms of personal requirements, party members must not only implement the party's current policies in an exemplary manner, but also display a noble moral style. The party's current policies are formulated by the party based on current tasks and realistic objective conditions. Its purpose is to mobilize the enthusiasm of the vast majority of people and promote the development of social productivity. Its focus is on regulating the behavior of the entire society. As a member of society, Communist Party members should of course implement the party's current policies in an exemplary manner, which in itself has the significance of moral demonstration. Under the premise of implementing the party's current policies, when issues that cannot be regulated by policies arise, such as who will seize the same opportunities first, who will get more due benefits, who will take care of the weak in society, and who will bear the necessary sacrifices, etc., Communist Party members will We must carry forward a noble moral style, put others before ourselves, give up our own interests when necessary, make selfless contributions, and even sacrifice our lives. In this way, the advanced moral and cultural exemplary nature of party members can be reflected. Secondly, in terms of moral education, party members must pay attention to both party spirit and conscience, and cannot equate their own morality with the morality of the general public. Morality has its own internal governing mechanism. Moral conscience, which is manifested by a sense of right and wrong, a sense of justice, a sense of responsibility, empathy, self-esteem, self-love, and self-respect, plays an important role in the determination of moral choices, the pursuit of moral goals, and the formation of ideal personality. influence. We carry out moral education for party members and cadres. While putting forward the requirements of party spirit, we cannot ignore the role of conscience guidance. We must enable the majority of party members to control their moral behavior with the purest conscience and establish a high and close morality among the masses. example.
2. Improve one’s own scientific and cultural qualities. To measure and judge whether a party member is advanced or backward, and how advanced it is, the most fundamental thing is to look at the role of party members in promoting the development of social productive forces. Only by consciously reflecting the development requirements of social productive forces, especially advanced productive forces, can we comply with the general laws of society, always stand at the forefront of historical development, and become an advanced part of society while representing the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people. What is advanced social productivity? Comrade Hu Jintao clearly pointed out in his "July 1" speech: "Science and technology are the concentrated expression and main symbol of advanced productive forces." Therefore, if party members want to become an advanced part of social productive forces, they must constantly learn advanced science and technology, Continuously improve one's own scientific and cultural qualities.
3. Enhance the concept of serving the people wholeheartedly. Comrade Hu Jintao pointed out: "Our party comes from the people, is rooted in the people, serves the people, and the starting point and goal of all work in building socialism with Chinese characteristics is to wholeheartedly seek the interests of the people." Forgetting the lofty goals is not qualified. A party member who does not work hard to realize the party's program in the primary stage of socialism is also not a qualified party member. To maintain the eight honors and eight disgraces of party members, we must work hard on how to serve the interests of the people wholeheartedly. To this end, party members must strictly demand themselves in all aspects of work and life. I think the key thing is to establish the following four concepts: First, the concept of being an official is not for getting rich. In a communist country, leaders are the public servants of the people. Therefore, being an official is not a position to make a fortune, just like being a teacher is not a position to treat a doctor. If you want to make a fortune, don’t be an official; if you want to be an official, don’t think of getting rich. Second, the concept of sparing no effort for the people. Wherever roads need to be built, where bridges need to be built, and wherever people encounter obstacles in doing things, party members and cadres must take it seriously and find ways to solve it. Party members and cadres must see it in their eyes, be anxious in their hearts, and do their best to deal with it. "Serving as an official will benefit one party." If the people choose us, we will be fully responsible. Otherwise, I'm sorry to the people. Third, the concept of doing things without expecting anything in return. Serving the people is the bounden duty of party members and cadres. Individuals should not expect to receive any rewards or compensation. As long as the conditions are met, we will provide whatever convenience the people want to do. There is no price to be negotiated, no reason to refuse, and nothing to ask for. "What are you doing for?" Doing things is only for results, and only for the people's satisfaction and satisfaction. If civil servants in capitalist countries are like this, how can members of the Communist Party lag behind? Fourth, the concept of working without selfish motives.
Countless facts have proved that if you have selfishness, you cannot wholeheartedly seek the interests of the people. No matter how beneficial things are, no matter how easy things are, they will become entangled. If you have selfishness, you cannot have a clear mind, you cannot act impartially, you cannot be confident, and you cannot gain the trust of the people. "Work only for practicality", what is what is, what should be done, what should be done.
4. Use mechanisms to restrain yourself. There is no rule without rules. In order to always maintain the eight honors and eight disgraces of party members, we must also establish a mechanism that can be dealt with promptly if the eight honors and eight disgraces are not maintained. There are good reasons for this. Since it is stipulated that party members must have eight honors and eight disgraces, and since the power of our country belongs to the people, then the people have no regard for those party members and party members who have not had eight honors and eight disgraces or have not maintained eight honors and eight disgraces. Cadres can say "no", and saying "no" should take effect. Otherwise, no matter how good the moral education is, no matter how high the scientific and cultural quality is, it cannot guarantee the eight honors and eight disgraces of the party members. In the long run, those party members who have eight honors and eight disgraces will gradually lose their eight honors and eight disgraces due to psychological imbalance. Comrade Deng Xiaoping has long pointed out: "A good system can prevent bad people from running amok; a bad system can prevent good people from doing good things or even going the opposite direction."
As a trade union cadre, how to grasp the essence of the concept of honor and disgrace and make it more effective? The beacon of life can better guide the work of the trade union. Based on the actual situation of the current trade union work, we have the following insights:
1. Vigorously inherit the great national spirit and the spirit of the times. We must always stand at the forefront of the times, maintain the excellent qualities of the working class, carry forward the Jinggangshan Spirit, the Long March Spirit, the Yan'an Spirit and the Model Worker Spirit, forget selfishness, sincerely contribute, work hard, be indifferent to fame and fortune, be loyal to duties, and strive for self-improvement. Doing things that are honorable and refusing to do things that are humiliating make it a common practice throughout the company to promote the socialist concept of honor and disgrace.
2. Fully carry forward the ownership spirit of the working class and take serving the motherland, serving the capital and serving the people as the greatest honor. Further enhance the sense of responsibility and mission, be down-to-earth, dedicated to work, work diligently, and strive to be first-class. Focusing closely on the goals and tasks set in the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan", we will actively participate in the construction of "one strong and three excellent" and make contributions to the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" for electric power.
3. Vigorously carry forward the glorious tradition of solidarity and mutual assistance of the working class. Do more good and practical things to help people solve their difficulties and become adults, and do your best and fulfill your responsibilities to build a socialist harmonious society. Actively participate in the "Two Festivals" to send warmth, "March 8th" to help single parents, "May Day" to care for model workers, September golden autumn student aid and "show brotherhood and warm the hearts of employees" fundraising activities, striving to be the messenger of spreading civilization and spreading true love . Send warmth to the hearts of employees in need, create a harmonious atmosphere of true love, care and warmth throughout the company, and integrate sincerity and love among employees.
4. Firmly establish a sense of credit and professional ethics of "patriotism and law-abiding, courtesy and integrity, ethics as the most important thing, trustworthiness as an honor and breach of trust as a shame". Be consistent in words and deeds, be consistent in appearance, be honest and trustworthy, know honor and abandon shame, serve the people and contribute to society. It is necessary to establish awareness of the legal system, always cultivate the virtues of governance, always think about the harm of greed, and always have the heart to discipline oneself. Consciously cultivate the spirit of clean government, refine the concept of clean government, take integrity as a pride and beauty, abide by rules and disciplines, act in accordance with the law, be a qualified citizen who knows, understands and abides by the law, and continuously promotes the construction of socialist spiritual civilization in Jingmen Company.
5. Actively carry out the activities of “creating a learning organization and striving to become knowledge-based workers”. We must continue to learn at work and continue to develop in practice. Strive to master modern technical knowledge and management knowledge, study hard, study diligently, actively explore, be brave in innovation, exercise yourself, improve yourself, and develop yourself; constantly enhance your learning ability, innovation ability, competitiveness, and entrepreneurial ability, and strive to shape yourself into a Knowledge-based and skilled high-quality electrical workers.
6. Inherit and carry forward the glorious tradition of diligence, thrift and hard work of the Chinese nation, advance despite difficulties, fight tenaciously, persevere, not be afraid of setbacks, have the overall situation in mind, and be willing to contribute. It is necessary to actively call for participation in the "I contribute to conservation" activity organized by the trade union, start from now, start from little things, start from small things, start from the side, enhance the concept of environmental protection, enhance the awareness of conservation, and advocate conservation-oriented production methods , develop a healthy consumption style, and consciously resist money worship, hedonism and extreme individualism. Make greater contributions to promoting resource-saving and environment-friendly construction of enterprises.
In short, as trade union cadres, we must take active actions, conscientiously understand the essence of the concept of honor and disgrace, choose the correct navigation mark in life, and actively participate in the theme education activities of "establishing a correct concept of honor and disgrace and enhancing the sense of ownership and responsibility". Seriously study and work hard to practice the basic requirements of the "Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces", love the motherland, love the capital, love the enterprise, know the honor and disgrace, establish new trends, promote harmony, talk about the overall situation, compare contributions, and set an example, in order to achieve "one strength and three excellence" Strategic conception, and make new contributions to completing various tasks set in the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” for electric power.
