Rotary’s 4-way test has four elements. Item 4 – ‘Will be beneficial to all concerned.’ It reminds me of what Albert Einstein expressed “Do not try to become a person of success but try to become a person of value.” Value is defined as person’s principles or standards of behavior, one’s judgement of what is important in life.
In Rotary we take on big philanthropic projects like Imagination Library and Coats for Kids. We always need to remember a key element in Rotary, which is value of the small and simple things. This can be as simple as holding a door open for someone, saying hello to a stranger, or just a simple smile. Not only does this build value in our life, it can also influence someone who is having a rough day. That small simple gesture can give them a much-needed glimmer of light. As Rotarians, we have that opportunity each and every day to do both big and small things to make our community a better place.
