Life is a struggle. Life will throw curveballs at you, it will humble you, it will attempt to break you down. And just when you think things are starting to look up, life will smack you back down with ruthless indifference.
The reason most people never achieve their dreams is because they simply give up. Life was never meant to be easy – its a constant struggle, with extreme lows and extreme highs. Remember that the times when its most important to persevere are the times that you will be most tested.
 
To be a champ, you have to believe in yourself when nobody else will.
– Sugar Ray Robinson
 
When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on.
– Franklin D. Roosevelt

Rotary Is a lifeline for many in this world who need clean water, education, wellness, job training, economic development, and peace and conflict prevention/resolution in their communities.  Many have felt they had reached the end of their rope until Rotarians taught them how to tie knots and hang on with hope for a better life.
