What is Success?

Greeter this week: PDG Al Bergsma
(Al at the Red Deer club in D5360, during his tenure as DG)

Greetings and Welcome to our Rotary e-club for this week. Because Rotary is International in nature, lets consider what greetings we might expect in Japan. Here is a short video of Japanese greetings. Why don't you get comfortable and join the others that are visiting us today.

Do you know what to say when you see someone you know in Japan first thing in the morning? What about right before going to bed? After watching this video, you will. This video teaches you the proper way to greet people any time of the day in Japanese!

Hope is like the sun, which, as we journey toward it, casts the shadow of our burden behind us.

Opening Remarks

Chair Elly and Ramiro Contreras
Good morning, good afternoon or good evening; Wherever you are. Thank you for joining us today. I am delighted to see that our attendance is way up from previous weeks. Please make it a point of joining us each week please. You decide the time and the day.

Although Membership Month is coming to an end, it is important to continue thinking about the importance of keeping Rotary strong and consider inviting others who could join us. E-club membership is a perfect way for those who appreciate the work of Rotary, live by our motto “Service Above Self” and by the Four Way Test, but are not able to attend scheduled meetings.
Share our clubhouse link with others and invite them to join us for a few meetings; No matter where in the world they are.

Have a great day in Rotary and enjoy what’s left of summer.

Comments from our Guests and Members

“I liked Bruce's humour piece and as a career development guy, I am going to use it!...
Was also touched by the Alliance story and the pictures of Bernie. I have no problem supporting this as a project for our Club!”
Herky Cutler - RECWC

“I really enjoyed the online format - it forced me to read up a lot more about service projects and find out more information about how rotary works”.
Lloyd Fischer – Grande Prairie After 5

“I love the setup where it is an "actual" meeting format versus just a bunch of articles to read as I find it more interesting. Loved the anthem and the weekly humour”.
Jennifer Biggs – Abbotsford-Sumas

Food for Thought
“Our success or failure will not depend upon the machinery of Rotary or its physical growth, but upon the extent to which Rotary’s ideals or objectives are translated into positive, tangible results in personal, business, community, and international life. We shall be known by our works.”
-The Second Quarter Century, THE ROTARIAN, July 1930

Speaker Program
What is Success?
Success means different things to different people. For some, monetary reward is a measure of success.  Some would say achieving a goal would be considered success. Yet others have multiple definition of success. What is your definition of success? Before you can achieve success, you need to define what success means to you.
In this video a young entrepreneur gives us his definition of success.

This officially ends this week’s meeting
