There are many areas that distinguish Rotary members from other worthwhile organizations around the world.

Such unique areas include weekly attendance being strongly encouraged, 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 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.*
