Discernment is not a barrier to action. He is the light of it.”
A compass to guide our decisions
Is this decision faithful to my quest or to our purpose?
Does this decision contribute to the growth of individuals and of Humanity?
Does this decision faithfully express what my deep current — or our purpose — recognizes as true and just?
Does this decision foster the encounter between the intimate and the universal?
Discernment is not a barrier to action. He is the light of it.”
ROTARY INTERNATIONAL
Herbert J. Taylor (1891-1971)
In 1932, this Rotary leader wrote four simple questions to guide decisions. Since then, they have accompanied millions of Rotarians around the world.
OSE adapted them to give birth to the Four Questions of Alignment.
Fidelity
Return to our purpose.
True and just
Consistent with what we recognize as true.
Encounter between intimate and universal
Open our choices to others and to the world.
Growth of Humanity
The impact of our choices beyond ourselves.
Neither a moral code nor regulations: a reflection tool that helps us step back before acting.
Offered to all OSE stakeholders: youth, families, clubs, partners, and founders.
To reflect before acting, and to connect each choice to our quest and our contribution.
"Discernment is not a barrier to action. It is its light."
