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 read the e-mail straight through,
and you'll get the point.
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 pageant.
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.
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.
Pass this on to those people who
have made a difference in your life,
like I did.

to an end today. It's already tomorrow
