I ideological and political study and democratic management
I seriously studied Marxism-Leninism and Deng Xiaoping Theory, and guided production practice with the spirit of "Theory of Three Represents". Actively participate in various democratic activities, participate in democratic management, take the factory as the home, work hard, and do a good job in producing first-line electricians.
Second, safety in production
1, carry out the spirit of the superior documents, improve employees' awareness of safe electricity use and enhance their sense of responsibility.
2. Implement and improve the organization system of safe electricity consumption, and improve the safety management rules and regulations.
3. Strengthen the safety management of power consumption of teams and groups, and lay a solid foundation for safety.
4, a guarantee, users should ensure their own safety and the safety of others.
Third, training and learning.
Over the years, I have actively participated in various kinds of study and training, and worked hard to learn the basic knowledge and training of electricians, the knowledge of power supply system, the maintenance and maintenance of line devices, lighting devices, grounding devices, transformers and motors, and the operation and maintenance of machine tool electrical control circuits.
Fourth, in terms of energy saving and consumption reduction.
In terms of energy saving, I have actively applied what I have learned and made a lot of contributions to the energy saving and consumption reduction of the factory. For example, in the aspect of line transformation, it saves more than 10 million kwh of electricity for the factory every year. At the same time, the old equipment in the factory was reformed electrically, which made some old equipment rejuvenated.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) is actually produced.
For example, examples of finding and eliminating electrical faults of motors in production practice. Electrical aspects:
1, check whether the insulation of the outgoing line is good, whether the motor is overheated, whether the wiring meets the requirements of the nameplate, and whether the winding, head and tail are correct.
2. Measure the insulation resistance and DC resistance to see if the insulation is damaged. Whether the winding is open, short and grounded.
3. Power-on inspection When problems are found after the above inspection, you can directly power-on the test, start to apply a lower voltage with the three-phase voltage regulator, and then gradually rise to the rated voltage. Using the above inspection methods, we can find faults and repair many motors in the factory. Summarize all kinds of fault phenomena and solutions in time, and record them, guide practice and improve your professional level.
In short, in production practice, we should adhere to and strictly follow the rules and regulations. Over the years, there has not been a life safety accident caused by electricity in the factory. After many technical transformations, the equipment operation is more scientific and reasonable.
Summary of Electrician's Entry (Part II) Time flies, and the probation period will be one year in a blink of an eye. Looking back on my work and life in China Railway in the past year, I can't help feeling too much. Completed the transition from junior college students to China Railway employees, from unfamiliar to familiar with all kinds of work and business, from consolidating academic theoretical knowledge to practical operation. I sincerely thank all the leaders, masters and their colleagues for their cultivation and selfless care, so that I can combine theory with practical work in books and avoid detours in my work.
20xx first arrived in Changliang on March 5th, when the climate was cold. As a person who has lived in the south since childhood, he has never felt the temperature of MINUS ten degrees, which is also a great challenge for my upcoming work. The outdoor working climate is bad, especially for me who has never experienced the sandstorm in the northwest. At the same time, no matter the technology, the number of personnel and the working conditions are not ideal, all of us overcame the difficulties to assemble the DJ 168 new bridge erecting machine and successfully debugged it at the same time. Everything is going on in an orderly way under the scientific command of Chang Liang's leaders; Soon it will be July 6th, 20xx, and the probation period will begin. After all the preparations were made, the first bridge was erected with firecrackers under the overall planning of the leaders of various departments. Although the first erection was hard, the joy of victory made us forget all the fatigue; With the increasing familiarity with the bridge erection process and the continuous improvement of bridge erection methods, the efficiency of bridge erection is also constantly improving. Today, we have successfully erected a 247-span bridge, which is our pride and our glory. Looking back on these days of working and living with you, I am proud to be a member of this team. I can show my value with wisdom and hard work and contribute everything to the company. Summing up my past work and life, I have greatly improved my professional level, political accomplishment and comprehensive strength, and I have many feelings and experiences. The summary is as follows:
First, diligent, pragmatic and innovative.
For the sake of creed, strengthen study and improve your own quality.
I attach importance to strengthening the study of theory and business knowledge. At work, I insist on studying while working, and constantly improve my comprehensive literacy level. When you encounter problems you don't understand at work, take the initiative to argue with your master and colleagues and learn with an open mind. I deeply know that as a college student who has just left the university, I still have a lot to learn, so I have never forgotten my identity. Seriously study work and business knowledge, focus on motor and electrification management, find the key points in learning methods, grasp the key points, and combine their own shortcomings in circuit system construction and maintenance, conduct targeted learning, and constantly improve their work and business strength. Combine theoretical knowledge in books with hands-on operation. Therefore, while strengthening study, we should not only use our brains, but also start work. Only by combining the two can we have wonderful work performance and accurately infer and deal with the problems encountered in our work. In practical work, in order to have a better operating vision and agile operating space, I combined my own study, and with the guidance and leadership support of the master, I made a wireless proficient transformation of the hydraulic control of the No.3 column. The technical problems have been overcome, and the transformation experiment has won a staged victory. The operator can master the hydraulic action anywhere within the coverage of wireless signal without affecting the operation of wired handle. However, it is satisfactory that there is no matching wireless master equipment in the market that meets the operating conditions, and the products used in the test can not meet the requirements of bridging work, and the mobility and safety need to be improved, so they have to be dismantled after the test is completed. But we can't deny the success of this experiment. This transformation and innovation is of great significance to my future work, which makes me understand that innovation should be combined with reality, humanized and objective. At the same time, it also encourages me to continue to carry forward this work style and maintain this innovative spirit. Keep learning and enterprising, and fully broaden your horizons. On the premise of ensuring safety and quality, we should be brave in innovation, improve work efficiency, save manpower and material resources, and do our best to do a good job in the spirit of people-oriented.
Second, based on their own duties, solid work for the concept.
Diligent and pragmatic, responsible for the company's progress.
Over the past year, I have been insisting on being strict with myself, working hard, always bearing in mind the purpose that the interests of the company are above everything else, and trying to do my job well in ordinary and ordinary jobs. In the detail maintenance of the mechanical and electrical equipment of the bridge erecting machine, the key point is to monitor the power supply cable with the simplest damage and loss, and master the cable: before entering the beam, pay attention to the distance between the front and rear vehicles when the vehicle retreats between the No.2 column and the No.3 column to prevent the cable from being squeezed due to too small distance. When feeding the beam, it is the easiest to eliminate the bump and pull of the steel bar on the upper side beam of the drive cable. Therefore, we should pay attention to the driving situation of the vehicle and keep in touch with the operator of the general controller, so that when the above situation disappears, we can stop on time and deal with it in time. When falling beam, pay attention to the handle line of electric welding machine not to be pulled and pressed when moving laterally. Always check whether the wires are damaged, carry out necessary maintenance and replacement, and check whether the wires are firmly connected to prevent short circuit from damaging the machine. Check the keys, hydraulic operating handles and various master switches at any time to ensure their sensitivity and effectiveness. The replacement of components that have lost their working performance should be patient and meticulous to prevent the secondary damage of the circuit system. At work, I try to serve well and be a good staff assistant; Seriously collect all kinds of information, comprehensive and accurate? Understand and master the development of all aspects of work, analyze the main problems existing in the work, sum up work experience, and report to the leaders on time so that the leaders can be comprehensive and accurate? Understand and master the recent actual situation, and make scientific and correct decisions to solve problems. At the same time, as the operator of the No.3 column, he strictly implements the working criteria in the Code for Erection of T-beams, and is seriously responsible for the safety of the No.3 column in the bridging operation and the transportation of beams. Especially in the alignment of the through hole of the bridge erecting machine, the support pad of the No.3 column is particularly important, and it is necessary to ensure the symmetry and levelness of its stress and prevent it from tilting. In order to increase the tail counterweight, when the No.3 column is put away and the boom is pushed, the sleepers and hard miscellaneous wood supporting the No.3 column are just fixed on the No.3 column. At the same time, it reduces the workload of employees, saves the handling steps and improves the efficiency of bridge construction.
Three, safety first, ensure production as the goal, do a good job in production and promote production.
Safety responsibility is no small matter. We have taken all necessary safety measures. As an electrician, I know my responsibilities. 1。 Responsible for the use of electrical equipment of the whole bridge machine. 2。 During the bridging operation, assist the girder erector and be responsible for the use of electrical equipment by other operators. 3。 Responsible for electrical installation and maintenance of living quarters and office areas. At work, we should always keep a high degree of vigilance. In order to ensure the safety of electricity use, the standards for electricity use should be strictly implemented in accordance with relevant regulations, and electrical appliances should not be used illegally. In the laying and use of the line, we must treat it with a responsible attitude and not be careless. At the same time, in other operations of bridge crane, we should always pay attention to the safety of each post. Now safety is also a kind of productivity. Promote production and create more value on the premise of ensuring safety.
Looking back on my work in the past year, I have made new progress in my thinking, study and work, but I fully realize that my own shortcomings need to be improved, and my theoretical knowledge level is still relatively low. Summing up the past is to draw lessons from past work and do better work in the future. Please criticize the shortcomings and deficiencies in our work.
Summary of Electrician Employment (Chapter III) In the hot summer of last year, I was full of expectations for my life and dreams for my career. I quietly walked into Hai Yin and became a member of the Hai Yin family. The continuous operation of years and rings has made me mature, and I believe that I will gain something where sweat flows. Because the shortcomings of youth are clear, and because of youth, I am not discouraged, discouraged, sighing or perfunctory. I will face the difficulties, throw myself into the new working environment, challenge myself, challenge the new environment and challenge the new job. Hai Yin, you are the beacon of our life and guide the direction of our journey.
Looking back on 20xx, I have a lingering fear. This is my ordinary year, but also my harvest year. First of all, I would like to thank the company leaders for providing such a big life stage and giving me the opportunity to learn and develop! At the same time, I also thank the workshop leaders and the old masters for their kindness, training me, teaching me to be a man, imparting skills and valuable work experience! Let me absorb the most precious nutrients in this safe, healthy and harmonious soil. Now I will make a comprehensive summary of my work this year and put forward some requirements for my future work.
I am a running electrician. Electricity is the heart of electrolytic aluminum in Hai Yin, and it is the artery that runs through the whole aluminum production. It is our mission to run electricians to ensure normal power supply. It is our electrician's job to use electricity safely, effectively, reasonably and correctly. Electricity is invisible and heartless. As an electrician, I must master and be familiar with the relevant contents of "Electrical Safety Operation Regulations", such as the safety distance of electricity to people (3m for 220KV), the requirement that electrical equipment should not be near lightning arresters and lightning rods, and wearing labor protection articles. Basic knowledge of electrical safety is necessary for electricians. As a running electrician, inspection is very important. Patrol can find problems that can't be monitored by the main control room during the operation of the equipment. It is an important way to know whether the field equipment is running normally, and it is the key work to ensure the normal operation of the equipment. Our operators should not take this work lightly, treat it rashly and treat it lightly. In this year's work, I am mainly familiar with the power supply operation system diagram of the whole factory, the name and number, status and location of electrical equipment. In my daily work, I am familiar with and mastered the work contents of opening and closing working tickets, switching operation, identifying signals and alarming, monitoring cards and handling accidents. After a year, I feel that I still have some shortcomings, such as lack of experience in dealing with unexpected accidents, working principle of electrical equipment, secondary protection and maintenance of operating equipment, and lack of a deeper understanding. The workshop conducts skills and safety training every Friday, summing up the experience of accident handling, which is conducive to improving my work skills and enriching my experience. In the future study and work process, I will find more problems, ask more questions, consider more problems, discuss and solve more problems. When encountering difficulties, learn from masters, technicians and workshop leaders, unite and cooperate, learn from each other and make progress together. Abide by the labor discipline of the company and workshop, I will always maintain full enthusiasm for work, treat my work seriously and responsibly, work hard, and conscientiously complete the tasks assigned by the workshop and team. Strive to be a qualified power supply operator with quality, technology, innovation and thinking.
There is a subtle relationship between people. Our enterprise is a big family and a team. It is the responsibility of every employee to live in harmony, respect, understand and care for each other, handle the relationship between colleagues and create a safe, healthy and harmonious working environment. Working in Hai Yin makes me feel the warmth of home, because everyone around me in the workshop cares about and loves me like a brother. I won't be taught by them at work, and I will help me if I have difficulties in life. The company's spare time life is rich and colorful, such as safety knowledge contest, festival gala, skill contest, etc. Holding these activities has benefited me a lot. I remember the speech contest held last year, which was the first time in my life that I got on such a big stage. Although I didn't stand out in the competition, I got a chance to exercise my courage and eloquence. Basketball game is a team game. After participating in the competition, I feel quite profound. The energy of a group and a team is infinite. Everyone can unite selflessly. No difficulty can be overcome! If our employees put this spirit into their work, what else can we worry about the development of Hai Yin? Holding these activities is conducive to communication between colleagues, so that colleagues can have more understanding and less friction; More trust and less suspicion; Make the working environment more harmonious. In Hai Yin, I think love is spreading. Many areas have suffered from drought this year. We in Hai Yin organized and donated as much as we could to send our true feelings to send warm. As a member of Hai Yin, aren't you moved by their generosity and selflessness? The implementation of the company's policies is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and high-temperature subsidies are issued in high-temperature seasons; In the quiet night of the night, employees who work at night can't sleep, and they get night shift allowance; Due to the environment and conditions, employees go to work far away from the factory, and there are also transportation subsidies. These measures enable the company to care for employees, be considerate of employees, improve various treatments, and think for employees everywhere. This is the embodiment of humanized management. The management of the company is also more standardized, and the off-duty employees enter the factory in neat rows, which reflects the mental outlook of the employees and shows that our company has taken a more important step towards more spiritual civilization.
However, after the economic crisis, under the impact of market economic turmoil, aluminum prices rebounded slowly and fluctuated, but electricity prices rose. As a big producer of aluminum ingots and a big consumer of electricity, there is no way out for us to reduce costs. The ancients said, change makes sense, and the general rule lasts for a long time. Management innovation, technological innovation, only innovation, only change can develop. The company has also made some changes in management, implemented performance pay and proposed to strengthen execution. Due to the influence of many factors, such as enterprise development history, personnel and environment, the process of transformation, implementation and promotion is extremely difficult and long. Hai Yin people should be open-minded, open-minded, dare to admit the birth of new things, eliminate the bad resistance to new things, and meet the challenges to new things. I believe that under the wise leadership of the company leaders, the future development of Hai Yin will become better. Soldiers have a saying, "obeying orders is the son of heaven." As Hai Yin people, we should abide by discipline, obey management and orders, and make our modest contribution to the management of our company. Therefore, our employees should change their ideas, consciously charge, improve their knowledge and skills, improve their self-cultivation and adjust themselves to meet the needs of the company's development. The company proposes energy conservation, emission reduction and technological transformation, but these contributions of one person may be insignificant, so we all need to act and work in Hai Yin as if we were at home. We should learn to feel distressed and cherish every degree of electricity, every piece of paper, every part and every tool. For example, the power of 5P air conditioner is 4000 WHr, and the power consumption is 4 degrees per hour, 96 degrees a day and 35040 degrees a year. If more than one air conditioner is used, the number will be larger. If we don't use it or use it less a year, we will save a lot of money. Therefore, every employee in our daily work should start from the details around us. We should tap the potential in our own work, find the place where we can play, give full play to our energy, and make constant efforts and struggles for the long-term development goals of the enterprise.
Therefore, as front-line employees in production, we should always keep in mind the concept of "respect, integrity, innovation and teamwork". We keep a grateful heart of "watertight, watertight", cherish our present jobs, work with the attitude of being masters, work hard, study hard, improve our skills, strengthen our cultural quality and improve our quality of life. Respect the leadership, obey the management, twist our hearts into a ball, hold our hands tightly together, unite as one, and strive to build a harmonious and healthy Hai Yin aluminum industry, so that Hai Yin aluminum industry can further develop and become a model in the aluminum industry!
Due to my shallow knowledge, please give guidance and forgiveness to the company leaders for the shortcomings or mistakes in the summary! I sincerely wish the employees of Hai Yin Aluminum Industry a life as sweet as chewing sugar cane. Career is like climbing a mountain, step by step!
Summary of Electrician's Employment as a Regular Member (Chapter IV) First of all, we should strengthen our political stance.
Without a firm and true political direction, there will be no positive guiding ideology. In order to constantly improve my political and ideological quality, I have been paying close attention to national affairs and domestic and international situations in recent years, analyzing the impact of changes in the situation on enterprises, and putting this idea into practical actions in the production process to ensure that I am always consistent with the party and enterprises in thought and action. At the same time, I also bring this idea into my work and study, and constantly pursue my own progress. Some people say that if a person wants to become a talent, he must be a man first, which makes sense. In other words: if a person wants to succeed in his career, he must first learn how to be a man! Especially those who do our highly technical work, we should look at things attentively, concentrate on things and learn with an open mind. There is no room for carelessness and mistakes. First of all, we should have a correct working attitude, good professional quality, be serious and responsible for our work, obey the arrangement of leaders, listen to others' opinions and suggestions with an open mind, unite colleagues, be polite to others and serve warmly.
Second, correct working attitude and play a leading role.
Since I joined the company, I have been engaged in all mechanical and electrical affairs, including safety and quality supervision and inspection during all infrastructure construction. I am well aware of the importance of electromechanical management during construction, especially including most invisible electrical infrastructure and projects. It is necessary to supervise and inspect at any time. When you find a problem, you have to solve it. Otherwise, the future trouble will be endless and will never be eradicated. This is a test and responsibility for our electromechanical management. As the monitor of the electromechanical class, as an electrician, I am duty-bound to bear the responsibility and burden. Therefore, in the usual work, I not only ask the team members to be careful in supervision and inspection, but also know that while the iron is hot, they must be hard. I made some strict demands on myself: first, I should walk in front of the workers when I encounter dirty, tired and dangerous work, and do more and more effectively than the workers; Second, when encountering technical difficulties, we should stand up and try our best to overcome them; I always insist on doing everything well and putting the interests of the company first. Including the production process after completion, sometimes dozens of electrical equipment failures, large and small, are handled against time, which has won valuable production time for the company, laid a solid foundation for the company's development, and provided a strong backing and strong guarantee for the company to create economic and social benefits. Third, I ask myself to take responsibility; I think since I am a technician, I should be better than ordinary workers in many aspects, such as business level. When assigning tasks in the company, ordinary workers should take the initiative to undertake difficult tasks, and can't pass the buck with workers. They should shoulder the burden bravely like teachers. Usually, I not only ask myself this way, but also do it according to these requirements in practice. Therefore, my performance has been well received by the company's leaders and employees, played my due role as a technician, and established a good image of technicians.
Third, strengthen business study and improve technical level.
It is my motto to be too old to learn. Today, with the continuous development of science and technology, you will fall behind if you don't study for a day. Especially electrical automation, no one can fully grasp everything. It is constantly developing and updating, just like computer software, it is updated every day and has been developing. Maybe you knew it yesterday, but it will be different in two days, and more advanced things will be put in. So I usually read more professional books as long as I have time. Over the past year, I have collected a large number of new professional books and materials, constantly enriching myself and mastering new knowledge. For example, electrical design and drawing, electronic technology, modern frequency conversion technology, DC application in industry and so on. In the process of learning this knowledge, I learned a lot of new knowledge, such as PLC programming control principle, ABB inverter setting and control principle, SIPMOS high-power bidirectional thyristor control principle and so on, which really benefited me a lot! Not only did I broaden my knowledge, but also greatly improved my technical level, which also made me interested in learning higher-level theoretical and technical knowledge.
Fourth, carry out skills exchange and realize socialized service.
In the usual work, I often have technical discussions and exchanges with other employees, share what I have learned with everyone, and learn what I don't know from others to make progress together. In addition, I am often invited to other units to help solve technical problems in my spare time, involving thousands of kilometers away, including xx, where I have been to five counties and three cities everywhere. This is inseparable from my spare time to learn high-voltage substation technology and secondary control technology. I fully combine theory with practice, constantly accumulate experience and constantly study new business, so that my skill level has reached the level of proficiency and ease of use.
The summary of electrician's work as a regular worker (Chapter 5) disappeared silently in a blink of an eye, and it was at this time that I suddenly realized that time was in a hurry when I needed to go back and summarize. Just in June this year, when the sunshine just made people feel warm, I came to work in the ironworks with a moving heart. Although it has only been a short month from the beginning to now, it feels like a river of water, inclusive and profound. I gained a lot of organic experience and suddenly felt at home.
Looking back on June, it was an extraordinary January. When I came to work in the iron works, I applied for the position of electrician. I remember when I first arrived at the workshop, I was not used to it. The so-called strange place, unfamiliar place, but under the care and guidance of leaders and colleagues, I quickly adapted to this environment and this job. And gradually integrate into this group. Just this month, I have gained a lot and felt a lot. The following is a summary of my work:
Looking back on June, it was a difficult January. Because I had little contact with electricity before, I came here to work and study from the foundation, from the foundation. First of all, as an electrician, safety and permanence are the most important. Safety in production is the responsibility of both individuals and factories. Safety first, work second. In terms of safety, I strictly abide by the safety management rules and regulations, understand the safety work system of our factory, lay a solid foundation for safety, and ensure the safety of others while ensuring my own safety.
In work and study, I learned the location of workshops and equipment, the orientation and function of each power distribution room, and the distribution and function of electrical equipment everywhere, and worked hard to learn basic knowledge such as electrician, power supply system, line device, lighting device and grounding device. From series to parallel, from DC to communication, from simple general lighting to deep electrical fault finding and troubleshooting. I first came into contact with high-pressure sodium lamp, mercury lamp, ballast, contactor, starter, relay, multimeter, multi-P switch and other electronic components. At the same time, their application and related factors, simple connection and disconnection methods, the distinction and function of some motors, and the basic working sequence of power distribution cabinets are understood. I reviewed the connection, principle and precautions of some electrical components such as general light bulbs, fluorescent lamps and general switches. He also went to the work site for help and study with leaders and colleagues many times, summed up various fault phenomena and solutions on time, and recorded them to guide practice and improve his professional level. During this month, I learned a lot from the concern of leaders and colleagues. They are not only my guides in life, but also my partners in work. I have benefited a lot, and my gratitude is worrying.
Although it is a short month, I have learned a lot, but I know it is not enough. Therefore, I need to make continuous efforts, constantly strengthen theoretical study, and strengthen the ability to solve problems in practice. With the continuous expansion, standardization and perfection of enterprises, we can expect that our work will be more arduous, the requirements will be higher and the knowledge we need to master will be wider. So I will study harder, improve my literacy and skills, and adapt to the requirements of enterprise progress. Here, I will constantly improve myself, make greater progress in thought, technology and work, be factory-oriented, work hard, have a strong personality, be prepared for fire fighting, and devote my infinite enthusiasm to a better tomorrow, and firmly believe that I will do better!
Summary of Electrician Employment (Chapter VI) When I was in the power station, I had limited knowledge of equipment operation and management, but I benefited a lot from the professional education of stationmaster and shift supervisor. With full work enthusiasm, I gradually became familiar with the operation of the equipment. Although I am only a beginner, I am as enthusiastic about my work as other young people. In order to improve my knowledge and strength in my field as soon as possible, I have not only done the necessary work in my station, but also carefully studied and took notes on the analysis and treatment of equipment defects. Give full play to my subjective initiative, I use my spare time to find relevant materials for study.
In the company for a year, I met many colleagues, and I didn't know what "personnel" was until I got in touch with them. "Dealing with people" is a profound knowledge for both society and units. For this profound knowledge, I, a layman, can only say, "Be sincere and work hard! Along the way, I participated in the maintenance and defect treatment of 35kV substation. In the process of learning from the person in charge, I deeply felt my lack of technology and the hardships of grassroots work! In order to better adapt to my work, I will further study and improve myself. Under the relaxed and harmonious working atmosphere and good opportunities for learning and progress, I strive to consolidate my professional foundation, expand my knowledge, and strive to complete my work better. Electrician's home.
In just one year, the combination of theory and practice made me really familiar with my work and laid the foundation for future work.
Although I have made positive achievements under the care of leaders at all levels and veteran comrades, I know that I still have some shortcomings and deficiencies, mainly in the following aspects:
1, the foundation of political theory is not solid, and the combination of theory and practice needs to be further improved;
2, the company's work tasks can be completed seriously, but the optimism is not enough;
3. Insufficient communication with company leaders and comrades in thought and work;
My comprehensive quality and business study need to be further improved.
The past year has been a year of continuous learning, continuous enrichment, optimistic exploration and gradual growth. Here, I would like to thank the company leaders for their careful cultivation, my colleagues for their guidance and concern for my internship, and their tips and corrections for the mistakes that disappeared in my work. I also know that graduation is only a small step in learning, and society is the real university. In the future work, I will try my best to find my own position, do my best to contribute to the company, create real wealth for the company, and at the same time seek greater progress for myself.
