Wisecrack of the week
From John Beks
EVERYBODY KNOWS…
Everybody knows…
You can’t be all things to all people.
You can’t do all things at once.
You can’t do all things equally well.
You can’t do all things better than everyone else.
Your humanity is showing just like everyone else’s.
So…
You have to find out who you are, and be that.
You have to decide what comes first, and do that.
You have to discover your strengths, and use them.
You have to learn not to compete with others,
because no one else is in the contest of “being you”.
Then…
You will have learned to accept your own uniqueness.
You will have learned to set priorities and make decisions.
You will have learned to live with your limitations.
You will have learned to give yourself the respect that is due,
and you’ll be a being that’s vitally alive.
Dare to believe…
That you are a wonderful, unique person.
That you are a once-in-all history event.
That it’s more than a right,
It is your duty, to be who you are.
That life is not a problem to solve,
But a gift to cherish.
And you’ll be able to stay one up on what used to get you down.
DISTRICT CONFERENCE 2025
Time to put March 21 - 23 in your diary and get ready to head to the Surf Coast for District Conference. Numbers are strictly limited to 200 attendees, so hop online and register now to get the Early Bird Special price! https://rotary9780conference.com.au/
Reminder about the Container Deposit Scheme raising money towards our Early loss memorial project.
If you are able to use the app, you will be able to find our cause under charities. If the app is being too difficult, you can use the barcode below. Simply scan the barcode at any of the return depots, then start inserting your bottles.
If technology is not your friend, feel free to drop bottles at Brooke and George's place which can be taken out to the depots (Kelp street).
