Part I: Speech at the Fourth Symposium
According to the deployment of the CPC Central Committee, a series of lectures will be held in all party member this year to study party constitution's party rules and regulations, so as to train qualified party member. The study and education of "two studies and one doing" requires party member to be a "party member with four stresses and four qualifications": stressing politics, having faith, being disciplined, having morality, having conduct, being dedicated and having achievements.
Dedication is the inevitable requirement of the nature and purpose of the Party, the political character of party member and the important embodiment of party member's advanced nature. China * * * production party is composed of advanced elements, with the people's interests as the highest interest and serving the people wholeheartedly as the fundamental purpose. The value of producing * * * party member is reflected in the process of seeking benefits for the people. Establishing the values of serving the people is the first condition for being a qualified producer of * * * party member. Dedication and achievement is the foothold of being a qualified party member, so that every party member can fly high like a flag, leading and inspiring.
When party member was sworn in as a Party member, he promised to be loyal to the Party, work actively, fight for * * * all his life, and be ready to sacrifice everything for the Party and the people. Party member should put the interests of the Party and the people above personal interests, put hardship first, enjoy later, do self-denial and make more contributions. Therefore, both leading cadres at all levels and ordinary party member should have a party in mind, keep in mind party member's obligations and identity, strive for Excellence in ordinary jobs, set an example and set an example; We should care about the people, keep in mind the purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly, serve the people, help the people, enrich the people, benefit the people and reassure the people, and maintain the feelings of public servants; Be responsible in your heart, keep in mind your responsibilities, keep the spirit of entrepreneurship and pioneering, be visible at ordinary times, and rush up at critical moments; We must have a warning in our hearts, remember the party discipline and state laws, be in awe, do something wrong, and be honest and clean.
A qualified * * * party member should have dedication and accomplishment, which is determined by the nature and arduous complexity of the two pioneers of the China * * * production party, which requires us to have a sense of responsibility and responsibility in our daily life. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the central government's strong anti-corruption and discipline-keeping have created a powerful shock within the party, but it has also caused some officials to breed some bad feelings, and the atmosphere of being an official and being lazy in politics has begun to rise. Figuratively speaking, it is from the past that the door is difficult to get in, the face is ugly, and things are difficult to do. Therefore, party member must unswervingly implement the Party's mass line, enhance citizens' awareness of rights and their ability to benefit the people, regard doing practical things for the people as the basis of performing their duties, regard people's satisfaction as the first standard of work, and sincerely do practical things for the people, do good things and solve difficult problems, so that the people can enjoy the fruits of reform and development.
Part II: Speech at the Fourth Symposium
"Learning two things and doing one thing" is the process of party member's self-education, self-transformation and self-improvement.
"Two studies and one doing" need to learn all the objects, so as to be indispensable. "Learning two things and doing one thing" is an education for all party member, and it is an education expanding from the "key minority" to the vast party member. For working party member, we should base ourselves on our posts, take scientific theory as the guidance, actively participate in the great practice of reform and opening up, and always maintain self-esteem, introspection, self-alarm and self-motivation. For mobile party member, it is necessary to strengthen pre-departure education and return home training, with the focus on party spirit and party discipline education. Party organizations should strengthen contact with mobile party member to ensure timely and orderly learning. For party member at home, we should seriously participate in the inner-party life, participate in voluntary service activities, set posts and responsibilities, and strengthen the cultivation of party spirit in learning and communication.
"Learning two things and doing one thing" requires learning all the contents and doing everything well. "Learn party constitution's party rules, learn a series of speeches, and be a qualified party member", a simple fifteen words, contains rich and endless spiritual essence. Learn from party constitution and clarify the identity and direction of party member; Learning rules and regulations is to abide by the rules and know how to "do something and not do something"; Studying the history, revolutionary ancestors and advanced models of the Party is to absorb and inherit the spirit of the Party. Learning warning education is to learn lessons and strictly abide by the bottom line of doing things for others; Learn to speak, let party member know the major policies, stay awake and play a vanguard role; To be a qualified party member is to integrate party member's knowledge and practice, strengthen his sense of service and improve his party spirit through tempering.
"Learning two things and doing one thing" requires a holistic learning method, so that spirituality can be used flexibly. Learning "two studies and one doing" is not reading a dead book, but using learning materials to recite and copy. The key is the combination of learning and application, and the integration of knowledge and practice. People who know before they are born rely on learning and using. Learning is the foundation, application is the improvement, and the unity of learning and application is the complete learning. Self-study, concentrated study, exchange and discussion, party class teaching, comparative criticism, etc. It's all a way of learning. You should combine your own situation and don't miss any opportunity to improve yourself. Use, on the basis of learning, be prepared for hardship, not hypocritical and reluctant, be diligent and do things in a down-to-earth manner; Calm down and think about it. Only by using spiritualism flexibly can we reflect the value of "two studies and one work"
"Two studies and one doing" need to solve all problems and be meticulous. In the spirit of "finding the bone in an egg", we should solve the ideological, organizational, work style and discipline problems of party member team. "Grasp the Party's ideological and political construction in daily life, and be strict in daily life", as the saying goes, "A levee of a thousand miles will collapse in an ant nest". Every little detail and every question should be kept in mind and never let go, so as to set an example and take the lead.
Part III: Speech at the Fourth Symposium
How to treat and use power is an important criterion to measure whether a cadre is qualified. In the requirements of three strictness and three realities, strict use of power puts forward clear requirements for leading cadres at all levels on how to treat power and how to use it. * It is pointed out that strict use of power means insisting on using power for the people, exercising power according to rules and systems, keeping power in the cage of the system, and never engaging in privilege or abusing power for personal gain at any time. To implement the requirements of "three strictness and three realities" and strictly use power, party member cadres must grasp the following four keys. (Speech at the Symposium on "Strict Use of Right")
First, accurately understand the connotation of strict right to use
Grammatical analysis of strict use right. * The original words are as follows: leading cadres at all levels should establish and carry forward a good style of work, be strict with self-cultivation, use of power, self-discipline, be pragmatic, start a business and be pragmatic. Therefore, from a grammatical point of view, the subject of the phrase "strict use of power" is the leading cadre mentioned above, the predicate is use, the object is right, and the adverbial is strict. The relationship between subject leading cadres and predicate usage is formed around the core of object right, and the strictness of adverbial is the limitation of predicate usage. In other words, the meaning of this sentence can be understood as: the core of leading cadres' power use is power, the leading path of power is power, and the standard of power use is strict.
Analysis of the meaning of strict right to use. The meaning of strict right to use can be deeply understood from three aspects. First, the right is strictly used, and right is the core. Where does power come from? Our constitution clearly stipulates that all power belongs to the people. What does power mean? For people with good political quality and high ideological consciousness, power is a kind of responsibility, and the greater the power, the heavier the responsibility; Power is a trap for those who covet profits and abuse power for personal gain. The greater the power, the deeper the trap. Second, strictly use the right and use the path. Where should power be used? Power is endowed by the people. When exercising power, we should always hand it over to the people for their use. We should always regard people's satisfaction as the fundamental criterion for exercising power, and always safeguard, realize and develop people's fundamental interests. With such feelings, we will regard the voices and sufferings of the masses as major events and send the warmth of the party to the people; With such feelings, you will be conscientious and selfless, and use the power in your hands to benefit the people. If you don't work as an official, be an official, be a master, engage in public power for private use, and engage in power and money transactions, power will go bad. Third, strict use of rights is the standard. How should power be used? It can only be used strictly. Power is exercised by the government, and no matter how big the power is, it cannot do whatever it wants; Power is for cadres, no matter how small it is, it cannot be indulged. Strict use of power, strict decision-making, decision-making on development direction and major issues must be carried out in strict accordance with the standards of scientific and democratic decision-making. Strictly use power, strictly employ people, adhere to the employment system, strictly abide by the procedures and standards for selecting and employing people, strictly control personal likes and dislikes and influences, and do not look at people with their own eyes or choose people with friends. Strictly use power, spend money strictly, strictly enforce financial discipline, insist on not squandering or wasting, and insist on not using public funds for private use or seeking personal gain. Be strict with the use of power and self-discipline, always stick to the bottom line of the official position, free from temptation and greed, and never use power as a tool for personal gain, keep a correct position, standardize the use of power, use power honestly and prudently, insist on distinguishing between public and private, self-denial and dedication to the public, and make every effort to benefit the people.
Connotation analysis of strict right to use. Regarding the connotation of strict use of power, * * * profoundly expounded that strict use of power means insisting on using power for the people, exercising power according to rules and systems, keeping power in the cage of the system, and never engaging in privilege or abusing power for personal gain at any time. This sentence of * puts forward four basic requirements for strict use of rights: First, insist on using rights for the people. This requires leading cadres to establish a correct view of power when using power. Power belongs to the people and power comes from the people. Only by mastering and using power well for the people can power benefit the society, benefit the people, establish flesh-and-blood ties with the people, be in an invincible position, ensure the correct exercise of power and win the support and support of the people. The second is to exercise power according to rules and systems. This requires leading cadres to use their power in accordance with the law. Because power is given by the people, only by using power according to law and strictly observing various rules and regulations that regulate and restrict power can power be used, loved, benefited, exercised impartially and performed diligently by the people. The third is to put power into the cage of the system. This requires leading cadres to consciously accept supervision over the use of their power. Only by fully allowing power to operate in the sun, always accepting the supervision of the people, honestly accepting the supervision of the people, and consciously accepting the supervision of the people, will power not be turned into a tool for self-interest or self-interest of a few people, so as to achieve the purpose of being a man, being a government, and using power without self-interest. Fourth, never engage in privilege or abuse power for personal gain. This requires that leading cadres must always be honest and self-disciplined. Only by always maintaining the determination to consciously resist privileged thoughts, always being alert to privileged thoughts and privileged phenomena, always adhering to the noble spiritual pursuit, and always maintaining the integrity of * * * party member, can we be honest in politics, be honest, remain uncorrupted, and be honest.
Second, deeply analyze the reasons for lax use right.
A sign of lax use of power. The first is to abuse power for personal gain. Mainly in engineering construction, mineral resources development and utilization, land requisition, investment promotion, project approval, enterprise restructuring, accepting bribes and so on. The second is human corruption. Mainly manifested in accepting red envelopes, gifts, securities, buying and selling high-value and low-price and low-value and high-price commodities, and accepting catering, tourism, leisure and holiday, high-consumption sports and fitness activities arranged by relevant units and personnel. The third is the private use of public rights. Mainly manifested in finding relationships, greeting, caring for people, coordinating projects and coordinating funds for the business activities of wives, children, relatives and friends. The fourth is to serve the public and the private. Mainly manifested in the decoration of high-end offices with public property, the purchase of high-end vehicles and office supplies, the use of public property to treat guests and give gifts, the use of public funds to buy family personal items, private use of buses and so on. The fifth is abuse of power. Mainly manifested in not giving money, not doing things with benefits, doing things with money and benefits, replacing principles with human feelings, unfair use of power, unfair life, unfair handling, and favoritism. Sixth, personnel corruption. It is mainly manifested in employing people according to relationships, trading official positions, cultivating cronies, rejecting dissidents, playing politics, forming gangs, buying people's hearts, engaging in small hills, small circles, small gangs, building relationships, entering through the back door, and running officials to important levels. Seventh, playing with authority. It is mainly manifested in decentralization, going its own way, deceiving the superior and deceiving the inferior, being subjective and arbitrary, being arrogant and so on. Eight is an official. Mainly manifested in sitting in your own position without seeking your own politics, just wanting to be an official for profit, not trying to perform your duties, and not thinking about your official career. Nine is afraid to take responsibility. It is mainly manifested in irresponsibility, detouring when encountering contradictions, passing the buck, perfunctory, afraid of offending people, being harmonious but different, being wise and self-protective, not seeking merit, but seeking no fault, being safe and stable, and living a mediocre life.
The mentality of lax use of power. The first is the mentality of escape. I believe that as long as you follow the unspoken rules and follow the crowd, you will not complain. The second is the fragile mentality. I believe that as long as you control the big section, regardless of the small section, there is no way to indulge. The third is a lucky attitude. I think people who entrust themselves to do things are friends and acquaintances. They are good friends, reliable and know everything. Only you and I know that nothing will happen. The fourth is the mentality of losing money. I think I have worked hard all my life, and I have not been promoted and reused, and I have not been commended and rewarded. Honest people suffer losses, so I have the right not to overdue, not to get it for nothing. The fifth is greed. Personal possessiveness, blind comparison, pursuit of luxury life and fame and fortune. Sixth, anesthesia mentality. Ignorant of right and wrong, irrational, stubborn, not accepting warnings. Seventh, blind mentality. I am the boss of this world, I don't know much, I don't care about the consequences, and I am courageous. There is an old saying: between good and evil. Whether a leading cadre can strictly use power depends on the mentality of using power. Mentality reflects a person's moral character and accomplishment, determines a person's success or failure, and affects a person's life. There is a saying in Buddhism that the heart is evil in hell. A leader who pursues power possession and unique enjoyment, regards power as status, honor, status and power capital, and pays attention to ostentation, special enjoyment and even showing off power is bound to be full of evil thoughts of abusing power for personal gain. How can such a leader be strict with the use of power?
The harm of power abuse. First, it is seriously harmful to the party and the country. Trample on public rights, damage the authority and seriousness of public rights, affect the image of the party, the state and cadres, cause losses to the cause of the party and the state and the interests of the people, corrupt the party style and political style, and bring bad folk customs. Second, it is extremely harmful to families and individuals. Politically, ruin the political future; Economically, become bankrupt; In terms of reputation, it was ruined; In the family, in an instant, people are rebellious; In the family, the family breaks up instantly; In terms of freedom, being trapped in prison loses freedom; In terms of health, long-term fear hurts the body. In short, if leading cadres can't strictly use their power, they will harm the party, the country and others. In the end, they will ruin their lives, erase their hats, make room under their butts, spit out their savings tickets, move out of their homes, give up their wives, dedicate their children to the elderly, discredit their loved ones and get into their own bodies. It can be said that if you use power willfully for a while, it will definitely hurt your family; Life is hard all my life, and finally nothing goes into the cage!
Third, take the road of strict use right correctly.
To strictly use power, we must fear power. A person standing in the world should have a heart of awe. With awe, people will be modest and prudent, guard against arrogance and rashness; With awe, being in power will be conscientious; With awe, you will know what to avoid, what to keep and what to stop. Our constitution clearly stipulates that all power belongs to the people. Facing the power given by the people and the power given by the party organizations, leading cadres should have awe, respect, diligence and humility. First, resolutely abuse power for personal gain. Public power is a public tool, endowed by the people and party organizations, and does not belong to any individual. Leading cadres at all levels are only in charge and exercise power on behalf of the party and the people. Public power can only be used by the government, cadres serve the people, and the people pay their wages and salaries and get their due returns. It is illegal to abuse power for personal gain. The second is to resolutely use power without neglecting politics. Power is the heavy weapon of governing the country. Different levels of power correspond to different requirements of responsibilities and abilities. If you are diligent but not diligent, something will happen; If you are diligent and not diligent, you will ruin your work; It's even worse if you are not diligent. Leading cadres' laziness in politics and inaction for officials is a blasphemy and corruption to power, which delays the development of one party and fails to live up to the hopes and expectations of the people. The third is to resolutely use the right to dare to take responsibility. Position is service, power is responsibility; The greater the power, the greater the responsibility. As a decisive position, dedication determines value. For the sake of the happy life of the broad masses of people, leading cadres should never be satisfied with their work, never stop at their careers, never slack off in their pursuit, and never be idle and idle. The fourth is to resolutely be modest in the use of rights. Always keep a humble heart, persist in facing people and things from the perspective and mentality of ordinary people, treat the power in your hands correctly, be low-key, be honest and pragmatic, always be superior, be considerate of the power in your hands, cherish the power in your hands and make good use of it.
To strictly use the right, we must abide by the rules. People who don't obey the rules will be abolished, and the party will be chaotic if it doesn't obey the rules. Talking about rules is an important test of party member cadres' party spirit and party member cadres' loyalty to the party. Leading cadres at all levels must abide by the party's rules when exercising their power. Only by internalizing the party's rules in the heart and externalizing them in the line can we truly use power strictly. First, the party's rule is to strictly limit the right to use. Inner-party laws and regulations are the code of conduct and rules that party organizations at all levels and all party member must abide by, including four aspects: party constitution is the general charter and general rule that the whole party must follow; Party discipline is a rigid constraint, and political discipline is a rigid constraint that the whole party must abide by in political direction, position, speech and action. National laws are the rules that party member cadres must abide by; The fine traditions and work practices formed by the Party in its long-term practice. Second, observing the rules of the party is an important guarantee for strict use of power. Abiding by the party's internal laws and regulations is the premise of adhering to the party's political stance, principles and direction, and the key to improving the level of leadership and governance, and enhancing the ability to resist corruption and change and resist risks. To abide by the inner-party laws and regulations, it is important to practice seriously and focus on long-term experience, and always achieve five necessities: we must safeguard the authority of the CPC Central Committee and maintain a high degree of consistency with the CPC Central Committee in ideological and political actions at all times and under all circumstances; We must maintain the unity of the party, adhere to all corners of the country, and unite all comrades who are loyal to the party; Organizational procedures must be followed, and major issues should be asked for instructions. The report of this report is not allowed to exceed the authority; Must obey the organizational decision, never engage in unorganized activities, and never violate organizational decisions; Relatives and staff around them must be well managed and cannot acquiesce in their use of their special status to seek illegal interests. Third, upholding the party's leadership is the fundamental core of strict use of power. Five must be an inseparable organic whole. The most important thing is to uphold the party's leadership, adhere to the party's basic theory, basic line, basic program, basic experience and basic requirements, resolutely respond to the call of the CPC Central Committee, resolutely implement its decisions, and resolutely put an end to prohibitions. Never allow policies, countermeasures, orders and bans, and make concessions, choices and changes in the implementation of central decision-making and deployment; It is absolutely not allowed to spread views that are contrary to the Party's theory, line, principles and policies, publicly publish statements that are contrary to the central decision, and create and spread political rumors and statements that vilify the image of the Party and the country; It is absolutely forbidden to divulge party and state secrets and to participate in various illegal organizations and activities. This is the most fundamental political discipline and rules, an insurmountable bottom line and an untouchable red line.
To achieve strict use of power, we must follow the rule of law. Power is legal, and the operation of power must follow the legal track. The law cannot be done without authorization, and leading cadres at any level have no extra-legal rights. From avenue to simplicity, power cannot be used at will. First, we must establish a sense of the rule of law. The consciousness of rule of law is people's heartfelt recognition, admiration, observance and obedience to the law. To make leading cadres strictly use their power, it is a prerequisite to establish a sense of the rule of law. The rights and interests of the people should be protected by law, and the authority of the law should be safeguarded by the people. To what extent the awareness of the rule of law is popularized, the country ruled by law is likely to advance to what extent. Leading cadres' awareness of the rule of law is to establish a correct view of power, that is, to take the lead in obeying the law and doing things according to law. Only by letting leading cadres take the lead in learning, respecting, abiding by and using the law can we better promote the whole society to establish the awareness of the rule of law and better let all the people consciously supervise whether leading cadres strictly use their power. The second is to strengthen the rule of law thinking. Rule of law thinking is a kind of regular thinking and procedural thinking. It takes strict compliance with the rules as the basic requirement, emphasizing that the bottom line of the law cannot be crossed, the red line of the law cannot be touched, and everything must be operated within the established procedures and legal authority. Strengthening legal thinking is the key to leading cadres' strict use of power. Only by constantly strengthening the thinking of the rule of law can leading cadres enhance their consciousness of thinking, making decisions and doing things by the rule of law, develop the thinking habit of doing things according to law, finding ways to solve problems, and relying on the law to resolve contradictions, and consciously achieve equality before the law, no privilege before the law, no legal constraints, and consciously exercise power without breaking the law, instead of replacing the law with words, suppressing the law with power and suppressing the law with law. The third is to use the rule of law. Power comes from law, and the exercise of power must be carried out in accordance with legal authority and procedures. Let leading cadres strictly use their power, and the rule of law is the guarantee. Using the rule of law means that leading cadres must first find the legal basis when making decisions and dealing with problems. If there is a legal basis, it depends on how the law stipulates and whether the proposed treatment measures comply with the legal provisions. If there is no specific legal basis, see if there are any principled provisions in the superior law and the Constitution. If there are provisions in principle, it shall be handled in accordance with legal principles. Even brand-new things should be handled in accordance with the basic principles of law, which is in line with the spirit of law and jurisprudence. In the process of decision-making and dealing with problems, conflicts between legal rules should be handled in accordance with the principle that subordinate law obeys superior law and legal procedures.
Four, always adhere to the principle of strict use of rights.
Always adhere to the party in your heart, and you can strictly use power. If you have a party in your heart, you must be sincere, do everything possible to be kind to the party, and always be affectionate and loyal to the party. Only by always insisting on having a party in mind can we always keep in mind party member's identity, strengthen our faith in the party and always be loyal and honest to the party. Only by always insisting on having a party in your heart can you strengthen your ideals and beliefs, effectively enhance the party's consciousness, cast absolute loyalty to the party into your mind and soul, and see what you do. Only by always insisting on having a party in mind can we consciously maintain a high degree of consistency with the CPC Central Committee, consciously safeguard its authority, resolutely respond to its advocacy, resolutely abide by its decisions, and resolutely put an end to its ban. Only by always insisting on having a party in mind can we consciously abide by the party's political rules, enhance our political awareness, overall awareness and organizational awareness, never forget our obligations and responsibilities to the party, believe in, rely on and obey the organization, and consciously safeguard the unity and unity of the party. Only by always insisting on having a party in mind can we gain a firm foothold in politics, rally the people around the party to the maximum extent and consolidate the party's ruling foundation. In short, as long as you always insist on having a party in your heart, you can strictly use your power.
Always adhere to the heart for the people, in order to strictly use power. Taking the people in mind means loving and respecting them, being close to them, winning their trust and serving them wholeheartedly. Only by keeping the people in mind at all times, when making decisions, grasping work and doing things, can we give more consideration to the interests of the masses, listen to their opinions, understand their thoughts, observe their concerns, help their needs, shorten the distance from them and win their support forever. Only by always insisting on having people in mind can we enhance the feelings of public servants, love and blend in with the masses, and always put the masses in the highest position in our hearts, so that we can worry about the world first and enjoy the world later. Only by keeping the people in mind at all times can we do more practical things about people's livelihood, focus on solving the most direct and realistic interests of the people, make great efforts to solve the problems that the people are dissatisfied with, do more things to help people with special difficulties, solve the difficulties of poverty-stricken areas and population, and strive to let more people with difficulties enjoy the fruits of reform and development. In short, as long as we always keep the people in mind, we can strictly use our power.
Always adhere to the responsibility in your heart, in order to strictly use power. To have a responsibility in your heart is to always remember your mission, always be conscientious, diligent and responsible, and have the courage to take responsibility. Only by always adhering to the responsibility in your heart can you form a valuable character of due diligence, enhance your sense of responsibility, strengthen your sense of responsibility, dare to bite hard bones, dare to venture into dangerous beaches, and do your best to solve problems and do practical things for the masses. Only by always adhering to the responsibility in our hearts can we generate the strength of knowing the mountains and tigers, actively seek specific countermeasures to overcome difficulties, and truly become the backbone of leading the people to resist risks and tide over difficulties. Only by always adhering to the responsibility in our hearts can we consciously carry forward the spirit of pioneering and innovation, practice the value pursuit of hard work and dedication, work hard, be willing to be plain, be arrogant and persistent, and truly regard the cause of the party as a lifelong struggle. In short, as long as you always insist on having a responsibility in your heart, you can strictly use your power.
Always stick to the precepts in your heart, and you can strictly use your rights. To have a precept in your heart means to be in awe, to be cautious in what you say, to be honest and self-disciplined, to always remember to cultivate self-discipline and to be strict with self-discipline at all times. Only by adhering to the precepts in our hearts at all times can we strictly observe the red line of discipline, build a clean defense line, truly put discipline ahead, always light up the red light of party discipline, do things cleanly, and be honest and clean. Only by keeping the precepts in mind at all times can we keep the boundaries of power, safeguard public interests, abide by laws and regulations, operate in the sun, achieve the unity of knowledge and practice, know what to keep, know what to fear, correctly handle the relationship between public and private, love and law, benefit and law, win the trust of the people through the standardized operation of power, and better use power to share worries for the party, serve the country and benefit the people. Only by always adhering to the precepts in our hearts can we lay a solid moral bottom line, insist on paying equal attention to self-cultivation and family planning, shape good personal conduct, cultivate a good family style, and be unconcerned and innocent in behavior under any circumstances, thus further improving the social atmosphere and forming a good atmosphere of honesty, integrity, harmony and promising. In short, as long as we always adhere to the precepts in our hearts, we can strictly use our power.
