“No matter how strong the sun is, it cannot dry the ocean.”
This simple truth reminds us that no matter how much pressure or criticism we face, our inner strength and purpose must remain unshaken.
As someone actively involved in service through Rotary, I’ve often observed — when you try to do something good, criticism can follow. Not always because you’re wrong, but simply because you’re doing. And doing something meaningful often makes others uncomfortable.
But Rotary teaches us to rise above. Service Above Self isn’t just a motto — it’s a mindset. We serve not for applause, but to make a difference. And in doing so, we must stay grounded, calm, and focused.
Like the ocean under the burning sun, let’s be vast in our patience and deep in our commitment. Let us continue to lead with kindness, and serve with strength.
Because in the end, actions speak louder than opinions.
