As a member of Rotary International for 21 years, I think the ROTARY 4-WAY TEST best summarizes all of our personal relationships, including how we treat others:
- Is it the TRUTH?
- Is it FAIR to all concerned?
- Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
- Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
Indeed, some would refer to this creed as a paraphrase of the GOLDEN RULE, the basis of most of the world's religious faiths, as you can see from the graphic below. Click on the graphic for a screen-size version of the image.
