"We make a living by what we get but we make a life by what we give"

Just watching the 東森美洲電視 for the coverage of 台灣路竹會 which has a long history of routine and voluntary medical services in the outlying and backward areas in Taiwan and even the needy areas overseas. This respectable organization has a contingent of highly dedicated and public-spirited medical doctors, dentists and volunteers. A small truck equipped with medical armamentarium has been threading through the rolling roads in the mountainous areas to help the disadvantaged people with no access to medical resources. These venerable medical practitioners have substantively fulfilled the commitment of the Hippocratic Oath and made the aphorism by Winston Churchill (British Prime Minister during WWII), "We make a living by what we get but we make a life by what we give", larger than life.
