This isn't funny, but thought provoking..

Charles Schultz' Philosophy.....

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 10 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 remembers 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.

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 who care.

Don't worry about the world coming to an end today.
It's already tomorrow in Australia.
