EDITORIAL T he common theme of Mother Teresa words reflect her work with the lonely, the sick, the dying and the destitute. Her unending love came through in her work and in her words. She was forever compassionate towards the loneliness felt by people, who on the surface had it all. She was also very concerned about the breakdown of families. Here is a collection of her quotations which say it all: Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing. I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love. If we want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it. Do not think that love, in order to be genuine, has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired. Everybody today seems to be in such a terrible rush, anxious for greater developments and greater riches and so on, so that children have very little time for their parents, parents have very little time for each other, and in the home begins the disruption of peace of the world. If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one. Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love. Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do... but how much love we put in that action. Peace begins with a smile. Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier. The biggest disease today is not leprosy or tuberculosis, but rather the feeling of being unwanted. The most terrible poverty is loneliness and the feeling of being unloved. There is more hunger in the world for love and appreciation in this world than for bread. We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty. Good works are links that form a chain of love. In this life we cannot do great things. We can only do small things with great love. Mother Teresa's message of love and hope lives on. May we as Rotarians be inspired by Mother Teresa and continue her legacy of ministering to the unwanted, unloved and uncared. PRESIDENT S MESSAGE T he Interact Teacher Advisors Hi-Tea this year was held at the Shangri-La Hotel on Friday 12th August 2016. This year 13 teacher advisers from 7 schools were present out of the total 8 Interact Clubs sponsored by the Club. The advisers from the SM Confucian sent their apologies. The mood was one of relaxed excitement created by our young Rotarians, namely Rtn Angela Choong, our Youth Service Director, Rtn Wong Shu Yi, our Interact Chair and organizer, and Rtn Darren Yong our Sergeant -at-arms. They, in their usual exuberant selves, brought much merriment and joy to the Teacher Advisers and 20 Rotarians. It created a relaxed atmosphere for the great interaction and dialogue between our Rotarians and their guests. My thanks to Rtn Angela and her team of happy organizers. It was a job very well executed. This yearly function is first and foremost to show our appreciation to our Teacher Advisers for their yearly attention and care for the Interactors. It also provides an avenue for our own Advisers to listen and have a meaningful dialogue on matters relating to how best to guide these young school children to gain knowledge and wisdom beyond their normal school curriculum. It is also an opportunity to see how we can do things better, or to correct things that may not be so suitable. This event is also used to disseminate information regarding our scholarships. IPP Dato Muslim was there to hand out the forms and discuss the best ways to apply for the scholarships. Advice on the criteria for selection is most useful to the Teacher Advisers. The youths are our future leaders and we can do our part to give them our help and guidance. I am proud of R C PUDU to have through the years created a very structured and systematic way of guiding our Interact Clubs ROTARY SERVING HUMANITY Sandy Soh Kwee Tin President RY 2016-2017 Warmest Regards PAG Mike Tung Rotary Club of Pudu 2016-17 Page 4

ROTARY INTERNATIONAL NEWS HISTORY OF THE FOUR-WAY TEST Dear Rotarians, More than 80 years ago, in the midst of the Great depression, a Rotarian from U.S.A. devised a simple four part ethical guideline that helped him rescue a beleaguered business. The statement and the principles it embodied also helped many others find their own ethical compass. Soon embraced and popularised by Rotary International, the Four- Way test today stands as one of the organisation s hallmarks. It may very well be one of the most famous statements in our century odd existence. # Herbert J. Taylor, the author of the test, was a mover, a doer, a consummate salesman and a leader of men. He was a man of action, faith and of high moral principles. Born in Michigan, USA, in 1893, he worked his way through North Western University, Evanston, Illinois. After graduation, Herb went to France on a mission for the YMCA and the British Army welfare service and served in the US navy Supply Corps in World War 1. In 1919, he married Gloria Forbrich, and the couple set up housekeeping in Okalahoma, USA, where he worked for the Sinclair Oil Company. After a year, he resigned and went into insurance, real estate and oil lease brokerage. With some prosperous years behind him, Herb returned to Chicago, Illinois, in 1925 and began a swift rise within the Jewel Tea company. He soon joined the Rotary club of Chicago. In line for the presidency of Jewel Tea company in 1932, Herb was asked to help revive the near bankrupt Club Aluminum Company of Chicago. The cookware manufacturing company owed $400,000 more than its total assets and was barely staying afloat. Herb responded to the challenge and decided to cast his lot with this troubled firm. He resigned from Jewel Tea, taking an 80% pay cut to become president of Club Aluminum. He even invested $6,100 of his own money in the company to give it some operating capital. Looking for a way to resuscitate the company and caught in the Depression s doldrums, Herb, a deeply religious man, prayed for inspiration to craft a short measuring stick of ethics for the staff to use. As he thought about an ethical guideline for the company, he first wrote a statement of about 100 words but decided that it was too long. He continued to work, reducing it to seven points. In fact, the Four-Way test was once a Seven -Way test. It was still too long, and he finally reduced it to the four searching questions that comprise the test today. Next, he checked the statement with his four department heads: a Roman Catholic, a Christian Scientist, an Orthodox Jew and a Presbyterian. They all agreed that the test s principles not only coincided with their religious beliefs, but also provided an exemplary guide for personal and business life. And so, The Four-Way Test of the things we think, say or do was born: 1.Is it the TRUTH? 2.Is it FAIR to all concerned? 3.Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS? 4.Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned? Profound in its simplicity, the Four-Way test became the basis for decisions large and small at Club Aluminum. But any test must be put to the test. Would it work in the real world? Could people in business really live by its precepts? One lawyer told Herb: If I followed the test explicitly, I would starve to death. Where business is concerned, I think the Four-Way Test is absolutely impractical. The attorney s concerns were understandable. Any ethical system that calls for living the truth and measuring actions on the basis of benefits to others is demanding. Such a test can stir bitter conflict for those who try to balance integrity and ambition. Sizzling debates have been held in various parts of the world on its practicality as a way of living. There are always some serious minded Rotarians, not to mention skeptics and negative thinkers, who view the Four-Way test as a simplistic philosophy of dubious worth, contradictory meaning and unrealistic aims.the test calls for thoughtful examination of one s motives and goals. The emphasis on truth, fairness and consideration provide a moral diet so rich that it gives some people ethical indigestion. But at Club Aluminum in the 1930 s, everything was measured against the Four-Way Test. First, the staff applied it to advertising. Words like better, best, greatest or finest were dropped from ads and replaced by factual descriptions of the product. Negative comments about competitors were removed from advertising and company literature. The Test gradually became a guide for every aspect of the business, creating a climate of trust and goodwill among dealers, customers and employees. It became a part of their corporate culture, and eventually helped improve Club Aluminum s reputation and finances. Rotary Club of Pudu 2016-17 Page 23

ROTARY INTERNATIONAL NEWS One day, the sales manager announced a possible order for 50,000 utensils. Sales were low and the company was still struggling at the bankruptcy level. The senior managers certainly needed and wanted that sale, but there was a hitch. The sales manager learned that the potential customer intended to sell the products at cut-rate prices. That wouldn t be fair to our regular dealers who have been advertising and promoting our product consistently, he said. In one of the toughest decisions the company made that year, the order was turned down. There was no question that this transaction would have made a mockery of of the Four-Way Test that the company professed to live by. By 1937, Club Aluminum s indebtedness was paid off and during the next 15 years, the firm distributed more than $1 million in dividends to its stockholders. Its net worth climbed to more than $2 million. Too idealistic for the real world? The Four-Way Test was born in the rough and tumble world of business, and put to the acid test of experience in one of the toughest times that the business community has ever known. It survived in the arena of practical commerce. In 1942, Richard Vernor of Chicago, then a director of Rotary International, suggested that Rotary adopt the test. The R.I. Board approved his proposal in January 1943 and made the Four-Way Test a component of the Vocational Service program, although today it is considered a vital element in all five avenues of service. Herb Taylor transferred the copyright to Rotary International when he served as R.I. President in 1954-55, during Rotary s golden anniversary. Today, more than eight decades since its creation, has the test lost its usefulness in modern society, as some critics maintain? Is it sophisticated enough to guide business and professional men and women in these fast paced times? Is it the TRUTH? There is timelessness in truth that will always be unchangeable. However, truth cannot exist without justice. Is it FAIR to all concerned? The substitution of fairness instead of following the harsh principles of doing business at arm s length has improved rather than hurt business relationships. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS? Creating a positive energy with love is preferable to creating animosity and hatred. Human beings, by and large are loving and want to co exist peacefully. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned? This question eliminates the dog-eat-dog principle of ruthless competition and substitutes with the idea of constructive and creative competition. The Four-Way Test is international, transcending national boundaries and language barriers. It knows no politics, dogma or creed. More than a code of ethics, it has all the ingredients for a successful life in every way. IT CAN AND WILL WORK IN TODAY S SOCIETY. The final test is in the doing. William James, the noted psychologist, once said, The ultimate test of what a truth means is the conduct it dictates or inspires. At the heart of Rotary today is the Four-Way Test, a call to moral excellence. Human beings can grow together. Modern business can be honest and trustworthy. People can learn to believe in one another. At the 1977 RI Convention, James Fish of the US Better Business Bureaus said: To endure, the competitive enterprise system must be practiced within the framework of a strict moral code. Indeed the whole fabric of capitalistic system rest to a large degree on trust..or the confidence that the businessmen and women will deal fairly and honestly, not only with each other, but also with the general public, with the consumer, the stockholder and the employee. Few things are needed more in our society than moral integrity. The Four-Way Test will guide those who dare to use its worthy objectives: choosing, winning and keeping friends; getting along well with others; ensuring a happy home life; developing a high ethical and moral standards; becoming successful in a chosen business or profession; and becoming a better citizen and a better example for the next generation. Eloquently simple, stunning in its power, undeniable in its results, the Four Way Test offers a fresh and positive vision in the midst of a world full of tension, confusion and uncertainty.
