Strengthen the education and supervision of party members and cadres, guide party members and cadres to always practice political ethics, always think about the harm of greed, and always have a heart of self-discipline, manage the power given by the people, and build a strong foundation to resist corruption and prevent change. and dams to resist risks, we must consciously implement the "seven correct treatments".
1. Treat faith correctly and strengthen ideals and beliefs. Ideals and beliefs are the master switch of life. The landslide of ideals is the most fatal landslide, and the wavering of faith is the most dangerous wavering. As the saying goes: "Life is a house, faith is the pillars. If the pillars are broken, the house will collapse, but if the pillars are strong, the house will be strong." Once party members and cadres relax even an inch in their ideological requirements, they will slip away in practical actions and eventually fall into corruption. of abyss. Judging from some serious disciplinary and illegal cases investigated and dealt with by disciplinary inspection commissions at all levels, the core and most fundamental one is that they have abandoned their communist ideals and beliefs and have problems with their world outlook, outlook on life and values. Some adhere to Marxism verbally, but in their hearts they advocate money worship; some do not believe in Marxism, Leninism, ghosts and gods, are keen on praying to gods and worshiping Buddha, and engage in feudal superstition. How can their defense against corruption and degeneration remain unshakable?
For party members and cadres, the first and most basic requirement is to firm up the Marxist world view, outlook on life and values, and firmly establish the lofty ideals of communism and the belief in socialism with Chinese characteristics . Only by firming up ideals and beliefs can we continuously improve our ideological realm, cultivate noble sentiments, keep a clear mind in a complex environment, and temper our character in distinguishing right from wrong. Only by firming up our ideals and beliefs can we stick to our roots, withstand tests, and always stand firm. , act righteously.
2. Treat power correctly and remember to govern for the people. Each of our party members and cadres has more or less power in their hands. Power is a double-edged sword. It can be a tool to serve the people, or it can be a means to seek personal gain. It can make people work hard, or it can induce people to corrupt. We must clearly realize that power is given by the people and can only be used to benefit the people. This is determined by the nature and purpose of our party. In real life, some party members and cadres have misplaced and alienated views on power, turning "public power" into "private power" and using power as a tool for individuals or small groups to seek personal gain. This gradually evolved and degenerated into the opposite of the party and the people. Sanctioned by party discipline and state law.
Only when one is dedicated to serving the public good can the party be established firmly; only when one has clean hands can one govern well. Each of our party members and cadres must walk on thin ice or face an abyss when using power. They must always think about the important issue of where the power in their hands comes from and who they should serve. They must adhere to principles, act impartially, use power in accordance with the law, and be cautious. When using power, we must not commercialize or vulgarize the power in our hands. It is necessary to establish the awareness that power is service, regard the demands of the people as the fundamental starting point for "using power", and truly represent the people in holding power and making good use of it; to establish the concept that power is responsibility, we must fulfill our responsibilities, fulfill our duties, cherish power, Manage power well and ensure that the exercise of power does not deviate from the correct direction and track.
3. Treat interests correctly and prevent mental imbalance. Facing various interest temptations in society, whether we can adhere to a correct view of interests is a very realistic test for party members and cadres. Our party does not hide its interests. It is normal for party members and cadres to pursue reasonable interests. However, this pursuit must be reasonable, proportionate, legal and legal, and must not cross boundaries. If you go beyond the laws and policies and even use your power for personal gain, you will go down a wrong path. A large number of cases show that one of the important reasons why some party members and cadres violate disciplines and laws is that they take material interests and official status too seriously. They compare themselves with big money and those who have reached high positions. In contrast, people believe that personal income and contribution are not commensurate with each other, so that their mentality is seriously unbalanced, and they are tempted to move away after seeing wealth, feel uneasy at work, and are not dedicated to their careers; some are even greedy for profit and seek disguised compensation by seeking power for personal gain and corruption. The legitimate benefits obtained are also lost.
The ancients said: "There are thousands of mansions, eight feet of sleep at night; all kinds of delicacies are just one meal."
You must have standards when making friends. We must take "morality" as the key and "faithfulness" as the basis, and insist that "the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water." We must not only focus on relationships but not on principles, only on loyalty and not on right and wrong, and we must not alienate the emotional relationship between friends into vulgarity. pecuniary interests. Especially for old classmates, old colleagues, old comrades-in-arms, etc. who have known each other for many years, we must especially cherish the rare friendships that have been held for many years and always maintain the purity of our interactions.
7. Treat life correctly and cultivate healthy interests. When General Secretary Hu Jintao emphasized the vigorous promotion of eight aspects of good morals, he specifically required party members and cadres to live an upright life, have a healthy temperament, and maintain noble aspirations. There is no small matter in the way of life. The life style and life interests of party members and cadres are not only related to the personal image of party members and cadres, but also related to the party's prestige among the masses. In recent years, with the development of the economy and the improvement of living standards, some party members and cadres have forgotten our party's good tradition of hard work, indulged in feasting, sensuality, and indulgence, and have become increasingly passive, decadent, and extravagant. Some are keen on playing mahjong and gambling; some even keep mistresses and stay with prostitutes regardless of moral integrity, and some even go so far as to be shameless.
A large number of facts show that economic corruption and life corruption are often intertwined with each other. Most of the party members and cadres who become corrupt start from improper life and improper style. When there are problems with life style, power will quickly become a tool to obtain money and beauty, and thus fall into the abyss of power-for-money and power-sex transactions. It can be seen that once party members and cadres open gaps and slip in their moral sentiments and life interests, it is inevitable that the bottom line of clean and honest politics will be lost. Therefore, party members and cadres must not only grasp themselves in the face of major right and wrong, but also pay attention to sticking to the "protective embankment" of the soul in daily life. They must not regard life style and life interests as "private matters" or "minor matters", and do not indulge themselves. Desire, trapped by desire, harmed by desire; let alone those vulgar tastes as new trends and fashions and flock to them. We must distinguish right from wrong, exercise self-denial and prudence, self-cultivation and self-improvement, maintain noble spiritual pursuits, choose correct personal hobbies, improve moral quality, get rid of low-level tastes, live a decent life, have a healthy taste, and train yourself to become a noble person. A pure person, a person who is free from vulgar taste, a person who is beneficial to the people.
