Can we last ?

I was telling a neigbour about me involving myself in a Resident Comittee or MC , he then asked me what was the motive that i got myself involved in the voluntarily group, happily i told him i've got no motive at all when i offered myself to be in the committee, to me it was more like a community service where i personally believe i must contribute however big or small i can to a place where i stay.

Then my friend continued telling me that most of such kind of groups of RA or MC would not last long,he cited a few reasons why he believed that one cant be too long in such kind of service, and i really wonder why?

Personally, i have high respect for my fellow committee members especially our chairman and for those who walk the talk and not talk the walk. I sincerely pray and hope that we can all share the same visions and the same goals to find the passion to strive and contribute to our community, overlooking our own self's interest.

So for the question as can we last or not? i wholeheartedly believe it is our vision that drives our passion.

P/S : I may not agree with you but then again if we share the same vision that's what exactly makes us strong.
