The Four-Way Test

The Four-Way Test is a test used by Rotarians world-wide as a moral code for personal and business relationships. The test can be applied to almost any aspect of life.

Man is by nature a cooperative creature and it is his natural instinct to express love.

This question eliminates the dog-eat-dog mentality and substitutes the idea of constructive and creative competition.
