The Four Way Test
Posted by Richard Jarrett on Sep. 04, 2018

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?

Affirmation

United in the spirit of Service we value truth, fairness and friendship; and we welcome the opportunity that Rotary gives us to contribute our talents and resources in support of others.

Rotary Club of Adelaide Light Mission Statement

To have fun and engage interest from new members and friends as we use our strengths for a better world here and abroad - a welcoming, flexible group having fun doing hands-on activities for positive impact.

Exercise for people over 60
 
Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room on each side. With a 5Kg potato bag in each hand, extend your arms straight out from your sides.
 
Hold them there as long as you can. Try to reach a full minute, and then relax. Each day you'll find that you can hold this position for just a bit longer.
 
After a couple of weeks, move up to 10Kg potato bags.
 
Then try 20Kg potato bags, and then eventually, try to get to where you can lift a 40Kg potato bag in each hand and hold your arms straight for more than a full minute. 
 
After you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each bag.
