Groundeed

I was reading through some old stuff and came across this...

The following is the philosophy of Charles Schultz,
the creator of the "Peanuts" comic strip.
You don't have to actually answer the questions.
Just read this straight through...and you will 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 contest.
4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.
5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winner 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 somethin 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.

Now was that was a little 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.


...very refreshing.
"Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia."
(Charles Schultz)
