Rules to Live By

[b38]

Hey Friends,

We probably all have rules, codes, creeds, that guide our lives. I am posting a couple of my favorites here and would like to read some of yours.

All the Best!

The Four-Way Test is from Rotary International. This was a plaque that was always on my fathers home desk.

The Four-Way Test
Of the things we think, say or do

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?

I was a boy scout and the Scout Oath and the companion Scout Law still have guidance for me today.

Scout Oath (or Promise)

On my honor I will do my best
To do my duty to God and my country
and to obey the Scout Law;
To help other people at all times;
To keep myself physically strong,
mentally awake, and morally straight.

Scout Law: A scout is ...

TRUSTWORTHY
LOYAL
HELPFUL
FRIENDLY
COURTEOUS
KIND
OBEDIENT
CHEERFUL
THRIFTY
BRAVE
CLEAN
REVERENT

"Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorius triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat."
Theodore Roosevelt

Nice one Andy. I'm adding that to my list of quotes.

Thank you.
