处级领导干部的民主生活会自我剖析
处级领导干部的民主生活会自我剖析 按照上级党委和处党委的要求，今天我们召开党委民主生活 会，积极开展批评与自我批评，总结经验，找出差距，进一步 提高思想理论水平和驾驭全局的能力，更好地指导自己的工 作。下面，我首先把一年来自己的思想、工作情况作一汇报。 欢迎各位给予批评指正。 一、加强理论学习，提高自身思 想素质。 在学习和工作中，我能够认真贯彻执行党的基本 纲领、基本路线、基本方针、基本经验，认真学习邓小平理 论、江泽民同志“三个代表”的重要思想，“十六大”精神， 能够按照上级党委、处党委的重要决议、决定指导工作和实 践，在大事大非问题上，能够头脑清醒，立场坚定，旗帜鲜明 地在思想上、政治上、行动上同党中央保持一致。注重加强理 论学习，全面提高思想政治素质。要做一个合格的领导干部， 把工作做好，就必须注重学习，尤其是面对知识经济的时代， 学习显得更为重要和紧迫。因此，无论工作多忙多累，我都比 较注重学习，做到自加压力，认真学习，勤于思考。不论是党 委中心组学习，还是上级的培训，我都积极参加，严肃认真。 同时我还根据工作需要和自己实际，坚持学习相关理论知识， 不断丰富自己的知识，开拓自己的视野，提高自身的领导素质 和水平。特别是对十六届四中全会的有关文件，我都认真进行 了研读，并结合我处的发展和自己的思想工作实际进行了深入 的思考，不断加强对全会精神的领会。能在党委中心组和其他 一些学习交流会上谈自己的心得和学习体会。学习不仅增强了 理论素质和领导能力，也提高了自己的思想水平和党性修养。 特别是善于把实践上升为理论，又要理论联系实际，指导具体 工作。 二、工作扎实，尽心尽责 有较强的工作事业心 和责任感，工作上敢想敢干，有一定的开拓精神，面对广大干 部群众的期盼，面对上级组织的信任，面对发展的机遇和挑 战，我和大家一样总想在有限的任期内能实实在在多干些工 作，多做些事情，图的就是要对得起共产党员这个称号，对得 住自己的职责和党性，对得起全处的职工群众。能够坚持原 则，敢于开展批评与自我批评，有话讲在当面，不隐瞒自己的 观点，不搞小动作。坚持民主集中制，遇事能与处长和班子其

他成员交换意见，沟通思想。尤其是在重大问题上，注意发扬 民主，广泛听取意见，集中大家的智慧，注意维护班子的团结 和党委的威信。能坚持经常下基层调研，倾听群众的呼声，每 当群众来信来访，我都认真接待，或做好释疑工作或责成有关 方面认真解决。 三、认真落实党风廉政责任制。 我能 严格遵守《中国共产党党员领导干部廉洁从政若干准则（试 行）》以及中纪委对领导干部提出的进一步规范领导干部廉洁 从政的“四大纪律八项要求”的规定。凡要求下面做到的，自 己首先要做到；要求别人不做的，自己绝对不做。堂堂正正做 人，清清白白为官，真正做到自重、自省、自警、自励，始终 保持共产党人的政治本色。在生活上严格要求自己，敢于抵制 各种不正之风和腐败行为，能严格要求自己的亲属及身边工作 人员，使他们也能够严格执行各项规定，认真落实党内监督 “五项制度”，努力做到勤政廉政。坚持按照“三个代表”重 要思想和“两个务必”的要求，牢固树立全心全意为人民服务 的宗旨，时刻用共产党员的高标准严格要求自己，约束自己， 练好自身内功，增强拒腐防变的自觉性。 四、几点体会 一是要坚持发展这个硬道理。坚持把发展作为兴处富民的第一 要务，说一千道一万，归根结蒂要发展，不讲发展，没有发 展，困难就克服不了，矛盾就解决不了，我们当干部的也就失 去了基本的职责，一切也就谈不上。一定要抓住发展不放松， 始终把发展作为考虑一切问题的根本出发点和落脚点。 二 是既要立足实际，又要勇于创新。干工作偏离实际不行，离开 实际的话往往是瞎说，干往往是蛮干，是不会有好结果的。同 时又要敢于创新，敢想敢干，坐等不行，守摊更不行，越是困 难、越是条件差，越是要有一股子闯劲。创新是一个民族进步 的灵魂，是一个单位发展进步的动力，也是一个班子真正能干 点事情的基本要求。面对创新的时代，没有一点闯劲，没有一 点创新，是很难干成一点事情的。 三是要团结一心，想事 情、干事情、干好事情。团结出战斗力，战斗力靠团结。一个 单位要发展首先要上下团结一心，干群共谋事业。对一个班子 来讲，主要领导要全身心谋发展、干事业，班子其他成员也要 尽心尽力谋发展，干事业，大家都要同心协力谋正事、求发 展，不能三心二意，当裁判员、评论家。各级干部要一心一意 求发展，快发展，广大职工群众也要一门心思求发展，快发 展。只有上下一心，众人一力，才可能使我们的各项事业健康 发展。 五、存在不足 一年时间虽工作上取得了一些成

绩，但反省自己的思想和工作，还有很多不足。一是理论学习 还不能持之以恒，运用理论分析解决实际问题的能力和水平还 有待于进一步提高。今后要进一步端正学习态度，进一步探索 学习方法，在理论深度上下工夫。 二是深入基层调研不够。对我一些状况还不能做到了如指 掌。决策分析还欠缺第一手资料，和同志们的思想交流做得不 够。今后我要进一步牢固树立党的群众观点，多深入基层，多 搞调查研究，多倾听群众意见，及时掌握干部的思想动态和普 遍要求。 三是领导水平和对外协调能力还需在今后工作 中，进一步加强。要通过学习，不断提高领导水平，提高明辨 是非的能力，提高政治敏锐性和政治鉴别力，要善于透过现象 看本质，站在全局的高度，从整体利益看待问题，解决问题。 针对自己的不足，一定要认真反思，虚心接受组织与群众的批 评。我坚信，只要大家齐心协力，精诚团结，我处的各项工作 都能上一新台阶。

There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real! Dream what you want to dream;go where you want to go;be what you want to be,because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do. May you have enough happiness to make you sweet,enough trials to make you strong,enough sorrow to keep you human,enough hope to make you happy? Always put yourself in others ’ shoes.If you feel that it hurts you,it probably hurts the other person, too. The happiest of people don ’ t necessarily have the best of everything;they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.Happiness lies for those who cry,those who hurt, those who have searched,and those who have tried,for only they can appreciate the importance of peoplewho have touched their lives.Love begins with a smile,grows with a kiss and ends with a tear.The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you can ’ t go on well in lifeuntil you let go of your past failures and heartaches. When you

were born,you were crying and everyone around you was smiling.Live your life so that when you die,you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is cryig.Please send this message to those people who mean something to you,to those who have touched your life in one way or another,to those who make you smile when you really need it,to those that make you see the brighter side of things when you are really down,to those who you want to let them know that you appreciate their friendship.And if you don ’ t, don ’ t worry,nothing bad will happen to you,you will just miss out on the opportunity to brighten someone ’ s day with this message.Since we went to school, we have access to English all the time, because it is one of the necessary subjects. Before we attend college, we keep our attention on the grammar, but now college means the new stage and we should pay attention to practical English. Here are some suggestions.First, it is important to speak out loudly. The purpose of learning English is to communicate with foreigners, so as to get to know more about the world. Grammar is not the only thing we care about. What we should do is to open our mouths and improve our ability to use spoken English. It begins with reading textbooks. When we listen to the tapes and repeat many times, then our d.President Trump, as he often does, had a few things to sayAfter admitting that he had been lonely over the holidays, Trump took advantage of his first public appearance of the new year Wednesday to air lingering grievances, make multiple false claims and reinforce recent decisions that have rattled financial markets and his party’s leaders.As he held forth for more than 90 minutes before a small pool of reporters and photographers, members of his Cabinet, ostensibly called to the White House for a meeting, sat quietly around a long conference table.Trump defended his decision last month to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria and sharply cut the deployment to Afghanistan, moves that disturbed Republican allies in Congress and prompted the resignation of Defense Secretary James N. Mattis. In doing so, he contradicted his own recent claim that the U.S. had achieved its objectives of total victory over Islamic State militants in Syria.“Look, we don't want Syria,” he continued. “We're talking about sand and death. That's what we're talking about. We're not talking about vast wealth. We're talking about sand and death,” he said, seemingly contrasting the war-wracked country with Iraq and its vast oil reserves.Iran “can do what they want there, frankly,” he added, a comment likely to unnerve officials in Israel, who have worried that a U.S. withdrawal from its positions in eastern Syria would allow Iran to expand its influence there.“It’s not my fault,” he said. “I didn’t put us there.”Trump offered little further clarity on the U.S. withdrawal from Syria, which he initially said would take place in 30 days, saying now that the pullout will “take place over a period of time.”Later, in a lo ng riff about Afghanistan, Trump seemed to endorse Moscow’s 1979 invasion of the country — an act that the U.S. viewed as an attempt to spread communism and waged a long, covert operation to combat during the Carter and Reagan administrations.“The reason Russia was in Afghanistan was because terrorists were going into Russia,” Trump said, making a case to leave the policing of hot spots in the Mideast and Central Asia to countries in the region. “They were right to be there. The problem is it was a tough fight.”The Soviet Union eventually was bankrupted by its Afghan war, Trump added. “Russia used to be the Soviet Union. Afghanistan made it Russia, because they went bankrupt fighting in Afghanistan.”Historians generally agree that the Russian invasion and subsequent occupation of much of Afghanistan was one of several factors that contributed to the collapse of the Soviet Union, although the country never went bankrupt.For years, Republicans have credited President Reagan with bringing an end to the Soviet Union by his aggressive increase in U.S. military spending.Trump’s comments stood in stark contrast to the view Mattis espoused in the resignation letter he presented last month after failing to convince the president to hold off on withdrawing from Syria.“We must do everything possible to advance an international order that is most conducive to our security, prosperity and values, and we are strengthened in this effort by the solidarity of our alliances,” Mattis wrote.Mattis’ comments clearly stung Trump, who responded last month with criticism of his former Pentagon chief. On Wednesday, he stepped that up, claiming that he fired Mattis.“What's he done for m e? How had he done in Afghanistan? Not too good,” Trump said. “As you know, President Obama fired him, and essentially so did I.”Obama did not fire Mattis, although the general did retire several months early in 2013 from his position as the head of the military’s Central Command after dissenting from Obama administration policy decisions.Tuesday was Mattis’ final day at the Pentagon. Trump, in a fit of pique after the resignation letter became public, had moved up Mattis’ termination dateIn addition to his foreign policy comments, Trump also downplayed December’s stock market losses, which erased all positive gains for the year, as “a little glitch” and asserted — wrongly — that there are “probably 30-35 million” immigrants in the U.S. illegally. The nonpartisan Pew Research Center estimates that as of 2016, there were 10.7 million unauthorized immigrants living in the country, a number that has declined in recent years.Trump repeated his call for Democrats to agree to $5.6 billion in funding for a border wall, and expressed surprise not to have received overtures from them over the holidays to negotiate an end to the government shutdown.“I was in the White House all by myself for six or seven days,” he said. “It was very lonely. My family was down in Florida. I said, ‘Stay there and enjoy yourself.’ I felt I should be here just in case people wanted to come and negotiate the border security.”Trump, who met later in the day with congressional leaders away from TV cameras, has already dismissed a funding proposal from House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi that includes $1.3 billion in border security funding.While leaving the door open to a compromise, Trump continued to argue for the importance of a wall, pointing to other examples of barriers. He incorrectly asserted that Obama’s Washington residence is surrounded by a 10-foot wall and cited the Vatican, which he said “has the biggest wall of them all.”“When they say the wall is immoral, then you better do something about the Vatican,” he said. “Walls work.”As Trump spoke, a “Game of Thrones”-style movie poster teasing Iran sanctions — “SANCTIONS ARE COMING,” it read — lay unfurled across the table directly in front of him. But he made no remarks on the subject.He did, however, comment on Sen.-elect Mitt Romney of Utah, who wrote in the Washington Post on Tuesday that he was troubled by Trump’s “deep descent in December” and that his deficit in “presidential leadership in qualities of character … has been most glaring.”“I wish Mitt could be more of a team player,” Trump said. “And if he’s not, that’s OK too.”Seeming to warn Romney about the fate that lies ahead for Republican lawmakers who vocally criticize him and his presidency, Trump boasted that he “got rid of” former Sens. Jeff Flake of Arizona and Bob Corker of Tennessee, both of whom opted not to seek new terms last ye ar.Accusing both men of seeking publicity in taking stands against him, Trump suggested that Flakewould be seeking a job as a paid cable news contributor — or perhaps in another profession that Trump himself once plied.“Jeff Flake is now selling real estate or whatever he’s doing,” he said dismissively.
