Philosophy from

Charles Schultz

 

This is a great way to get a new day started -- it

puts things in proper perspective. Take this quiz:

 

1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.

2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.

3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America

contest.

4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer

prize.

5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for

best actor and actress.

6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series

winners.

 

How did you do? The point is, none of us remember the

headliners of yesterday. These are no second-rate

achievers. They are the best in their fields. But

the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are

forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried with

their owners. Here's another quiz. See how you do on

this one:

 

1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through

school.

2. Name three friends who have helped you through a

difficult time.

3. Name five people who have taught you something

worthwhile.

4. Think of a few people who have made you feel

appreciated and special.

5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.

6. Name half a dozen heroes whose stories have

inspired you.

 

Easier? The lesson? The people who make a

difference in your life are not the ones with the most

credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They

are the ones that care. Pass this on to those people

who have made a difference in your life.

 

P.S. "Don't worry about the world coming to an end

today. It's already tomorrow in Australia."

 

-- Charles Schulz
