A long time ago Gregory Bateson told the story: "There was once a man who had a computer, and he asked it, "Do you compute that you will ever be able to think like a human being?" And after assorted grindings and beepings, a slip of paper came out of the computer that said, "That reminds me of a story . . . " Computers no longer answer with slips of paper. But, the point that human beings are story tellers and story participants is universally true. Most decisions are informed by emotional response; and stories, not facts, generate emotional response.Public Image
Providing a clear, consistent image of Rotary — what we stand for and how we differ from other charitable organizations — we can attract prospective members, inspire a donor to give, and motivate people to act. The tireless efforts of Rotarians makes Rotary the wonderful organization that it is, with a positive impact in communities around the world. It’s up to all of us to communicate our Rotary story to the world.A long time ago Gregory Bateson told the story: "There was once a man who had a computer, and he asked it, "Do you compute that you will ever be able to think like a human being?"
