This was sent to me by a friend.
It touched me and I hope it will do the same for you... and so I share this to you...
The following is the philosophy of Charles Schulz, the creator of the 'Peanuts' comic strip.
You don't have to actually answer the questions.
Just ponder on them.
Just read straight through, and you'll get the point.
Here goes:
Name the five wealthiest people in the world.
Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.
Name the last five winners of
the Miss America pageant.
Name ten people who have won
the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.
Name the last half dozen Academy Award
winners for best actor and actress.
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:
List a few teachers who aided your journey
through school.
Name three friends who have helped you
through a difficult time.
Name five people who have taught you
something worthwhile.
Think of a few people who have made you
feel appreciated and special.
Think of five people you enjoy
spending time with.
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 simply are the ones who care the most.
"Be kind to everyone you meet...
just be kind.
Because everyone is fighting a battle
you know nothing about."
