"Rotarians learn from each other; we learn from the men and women who care enough to help build a better world.  What better teachers are there then our predecessors in Rotary.  Read their stories, read their accomplishments. You will be convinced, and a convinced leader becomes an extraordinary convincer. The farther back you can look, the farther forward you are likely to see."
