Some victories take decades.
Some missions test our faith, our resolve, and our patience.
For nearly 40 years, Rotarians around the world have been fighting polio with dedication and unwavering purpose. Today, the virus remains in only two countries.
This journey reminds us of a simple truth: meaningful impact takes time. Whether it’s improving health, education, or community development, the work that truly matters often demands persistence over years, even decades.
Patience is not passive—it is active resilience. It is staying committed to a mission even when results are slow, unseen, or challenging. It is what turns effort into lasting change.
Rotary’s work teaches us that perseverance is never wasted. Every contribution, every volunteer hour, every initiative counts toward the bigger picture. And the same principle applies to all meaningful leadership and service in our professional and personal lives.
Stay patient. Stay committed. Stay united.
Together, we can achieve remarkable things—step by step, year by year.
Service Above Self.
