学习长顺县敦操乡“背篼干部”心得——文明长期以来，为人民服务是一个永盛不衰的话题，是一个永不过时的激励机制，是我们党激励广大党员干部更好地履行职责的一项重要举措。

为人民服务是敢创一流的勇气，是永不懈怠的精神，也是共产党人光荣传统和优良作风的具体表现。

近日，在全省上下掀起向长顺县敦操乡“背篼干部”学习的热潮，敦操乡党员干部多年如一日，坚持为群众办实事、办好事，用“背篼”背出了信任、背出了民心、背出了“鱼水深情”，充分体现了“背篼干部”对党和人民的忠诚，充分体现了基层工作的艰辛和不易。

他们牢记宗旨、心系群众、扎根基层、艰苦奋斗、无私奉献的精神，十分让人感动，让我们更加坚定了贵州能够发展、能快速发展的信心和决心。

通过学习，我感受颇丰。

下面我将学习心得总结如下：一、把心思扎根在基层面对高山深沟、交通不便、恶劣环境，敦操乡“背篼干部”把人民群众的利益看得高于一切，重于一切，牢固树立全心全意为人民服务的宗旨，翻山越岭，风雨无阻，全心全意为人民办实事，办好事。

把群众的困难装在心里、扛在肩上，他们把人民群众当亲人，当家人，心里装着人民，凡事想着人民。

长年身背背篼为深山里的群众谋致富、促发展。

扎根基层，心系基层。

二、把服务落实在基层敦操乡“背篼干部”把62个村民组划分为34个服务点，全乡34名乡村干部每人负责一个点，并将定点服务人员的姓名、职务、联系电话及监督电话制成公示牌，钉挂在村口显眼位置，大到为村民代办低保、养老保险等事宜，小至捎带所需生活物资等，只要村民一个电话，就服务到家。

敦操乡“背篼干部”用实际行动践行了党员干部全心全意为人民服务的宗旨。

三、把青春奉献在基层从上世纪90年代起，敦操乡干部就开始帮助群众捎带生活用品，最初只是一两包烟，后来是盐、酱油等，到现在是各种生活用品，甚至于水泥、瓦片等。

尽管平均每周要步行上百里山路，一些路险坡陡地段要攀着岩石、拉着藤蔓才能通过，他们始终无怨无悔、坚持不懈。

弘扬“背篼干部”精神，作为党员干部，就要像敦操乡“背篼干部”那样，把本职岗位作为实现自己人生价值的舞台，爱岗敬业，踏实工作，无私奉献，在平凡的岗位上创造不平凡的业绩。

No one laughed at me; no one would be __45__ enough, or foolish enough, to do that in Mrs. McNamara’s class. The humiliation came from __46__ and along with it camea strong __47__ not to let it happen again.Mrs. McNamara kept all of our written work in folders; it was easy to see the __48__ in writing that had occurred. What was not so easy to see was the inner transformation that had taken place, at least for me. What Mrs. McNamara __49__ meto do was to see myself as others see me and, having done that, I could improve me.And I __50__. Thank you, Mrs. McNamara.31.
