| There
are many areas that distinguish Rotary members from other
worthwhile organizations around the world. |
|
|
Such
unique areas include weekly attendance being a requirement, the
Four Avenues of Service and, the close association with businesses
of all types, sizes and shapes.
|
It cannot
go unnoticed that, although Rotary meetings are not a place to
solicit business, nor are members allowed to use club rosters for
solicitation without member permission, Rotarians seem to do
business with other Rotarians. The following creed by which
Rotarians are to measure not only their own actions, but the
actions of others, could well be the one of the major reasons
Rotarians like to do business with others who understand, and more
importantly live by, the Four Way Test.
The
Four Way Test
1.
Is it the truth?
2. Is it
fair to all concerned?
3. Will it build goodwill & better friendships?
4. Will it be beneficial to all concerned?

Just for
the fun of it, next time you get ready to solve a customer
problem, or deal with an employee issue, make that next deal, or
sit down to have a family meeting to resolve some issues, apply
the Four Way Test and don't skip a single test. Not so easy,
right? Imagine the world as a place where everyone did
follow the Four Way Test. It would be a pretty great world! Feel
free to print out this page and put it somewhere for frequent
reference.
