PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

GG oing to Singapore by train was a new experience for me. I like trains especially the new ETS to Ipoh. Only

two hours and a bit compared to the hassle of driving. Furthermore a senior citizen gets a 50% discount. However, the train to JB is not quite like the ETS and it took seven hours. But it was very comfortable and even arrived 15 minutes earlier than scheduled. The JB station is like an airport with customs and immigration. Everything ran smoothly. Well done KTMB. Whilst on the train I had plenty of time to think. A lot of inspiration came through and as a matter of habit I jotted them down – septuageneraians tend to be forgetful, you see. And listed below are my jottings to be followed up when I get back to KL:

1Club DDCA Project – the way forward Bring PP Tan Sri Soong of ERA on board as co-

chair Now that Mdm Lin Chua is agreeable to have a

dialysis centre there, bring PP Sam and Sim Bee on board as well.

Promote the facility via an Open Day Coincide it with our 50th Anniversary on 5 Dec

2015. That way we can kill many birds with one stone, vis: Promote Autorr and all its services Promote RC Pudu & Rotary in general

(membership drive) Promote Interactors and Rotaractors (create

awareness) Promote ERA (Expertise Resource

Association) Celebrate our 50th Anniversary with a heavy

publicity blitz (brochures, flyers, signboards). Meet up with Autorr trustees. Brief them on the smart partnership between Autorr, RC Pudu and ERA. Have a tri-partite MOU.

Meantime equip the facility with Computer Lab, Library, Therapy equipment and other enhancements

Autorr already sent out survey forms. RC Pudu to also do same. Extend to Veterans association.

Speak with RC Singapore West regarding WCS funding to be supportive of this DCCA project

Since this is a 1Club project – and not an individual avenue project – the entire BOD members are automatically committee members headed jointly by the President and Charter member, PP Tan Sri Soong. Definitive assignments will be issued to them soon after the next BOD meeting on 5 Aug 2015. Kind Regards. Dato’ Muslim Ayob President

AA philosophy professor stood before his class with some items on the table in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly he picked up

a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks, about 2 inches in diameter. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was. So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles, of course, rolled into the open areas between the rocks. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was. The professor picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up the remaining open areas of the jar. He then asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous ―Yes.‖ ―Now,‖ said the professor, ―I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The rocks are the important things – your family, your partner, your health, your children – things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter – like your job, your house, your car. The sand is everything else, the small stuff.‖ ―If you put the sand into the jar first,‖ he continued, ―there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks. The same goes for your life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. There will always be time to go to work, clean the house, give a dinner party, or fix the disposal.‖ ―Take care of the rocks first – the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.‖

Warmest Regards.

PP Mike Tung

ROTARY INTERNATIONAL NEWS

RI President's Message - August 2015

In the 1930s, Ole Kirk Christiansen, a Danish carpenter, had a wooden sign hanging on his wall that read, Det bedste er ikke for godt: "Only the best is good enough." Today, Christiansen is remembered as the inventor of Lego, the colorful plastic bricks beloved by children around the world. But in the early days of the Lego company, its signature product was a wooden duck – one built to the highest standards, out of aged beech, with three coats of clear varnish. Lego's company history tells how Christiansen used his ducks to teach a lesson in quality to his son, Godtfred Kirk: One evening, when I came into the office, I said to my father: "It's been a good day today, Dad. We've earned a little more." "Oh," said Dad, "what do you mean?" "Well, I've just been to the station with two boxes of our toy ducks for the Danish Co op. Normally they get three coats of varnish, but since it's for the Co-op, I only gave them two. So I saved the business a bit of money." He looked at me in dismay. "Godtfred, fetch those boxes back. Unpack them and give the ducks another coat of varnish. You're not going to bed until the work's done – and you'll do it all on your own." There was no arguing with Dad. And it was a lesson for me about what quality meant. Today, Lego's quality standards are legendary, and its products are the most popular toys in the world: Lego pieces outnumber humans 86 to 1. We all recognize that this success stems directly from Lego's business practices – its insistence on quality, efficiency, and innovation. I compare this with our efforts in governance and accountability in Rotary, and realize that sometimes we fall short of the standards expected. The leaders at the Rotary International, zone, district, and club levels have to maintain the highest standards in governance. The RI president and directors must serve the membership in a meaningful manner; zone leaders must deliver on the investment Rotary makes in them; district leaders must provide dynamic leadership in the district and focus on transparency in accounting and timely reporting of financials; and club leaders must adhere to proper reporting functions and get their clubs onto Rotary Club Central. Just as Christiansen refused to consider sending a lesser product to any of his clients, so should we refuse to consider giving a lesser effort to any of our work. We must always demand the best of ourselves – in our professional lives, and especially in our Rotary work. For in Rotary, what is our product? It is not wooden ducks or plastic bricks. It is education, water, health, and peace. It is hope, and it is life itself. For this work, only our best is good enough. I ask you all to remember this – and to do your very best to Be a Gift to the World. K R Ravindran President 2015 - 16

ROTARY INTERNATIONAL NEWS

Trustee Chair's Message - August 2015 The Rotary Foundation has traditionally used a few annual goals to guide its planning for the next Rotary year. However, there is a more comprehensive plan in place for the current Rotary year. At their October 2014 meeting, the Trustees utilized the spirit of the RI strategic plan by approving four priorities to stay in place for the next three years: 1. End polio, now and forever. 2. Strengthen Rotarians' knowledge, engagement, and financial support of The Rotary Foundation. 3. Increase the quality and impact of Rotary's humanitarian service effort through Foundation grants and the six areas of focus. 4. Enhance the image and awareness of the Foundation's record of achievements, particularly the success of PolioPlus and its 100-year record of doing good in the world. In addition to the agreed four priorities for the next three years, the Trustees also approved four measurable goals for each of the priorities. Therefore, we now have 16 measurable goals to guide our efforts. The goals can be changed each year as progress is made on achievement of the priorities, but for the current year our course is set – and for the first time, it is measurable! I will be sharing some of the goals with you in future editions, but it is worth noting that the advent of measurable goals for the Foundation came at a propitious time. RI President K.R. Ravindran is a proponent of key performance indicators (KPIs) for the work of Rotarians in leadership positions, and the new measurable goals made it much easier to develop some KPIs for our regional Rotary Foundation coordinators and endowment/major gift advisers. The KPIs are still an experiment, and they will need refinement and development, but they are a step in the right direction as we try to take a longer look ahead each year! Ray Klinginsmith Trustee Chair 2015 - 16
