The ideal of service / The Rotary News
In: Rotary Club of Manila. The Rotary Balita No. 775 to 799Summary: "Service" has been defined as "The rent we pay for our room on earth." No one is more dull than the spectator of life who stands on the sidelines watching the passing parade. He becomes concerned only with his own pleasure, his own aches and pains, his own problems and frustrations, and thinks that the whole universe exists but to serve him. To work at the daily routine for no purpose other than to accumulate wealth and the means of satisfying personal needs, is to live with inadequate purpose. Unless we feel that we are contributing to someone else's happiness, that the world is better because we are part of it, we will not find satisfaction. True joy in life is to be found in being used for a purpose bigger, more important and longer lasting than we ourselves are. -The ROTARY NEWS Edmonton, Alberta, Canada| Item type | Current library | Call number | Status | Barcode | |
