Important Things To Remember...

Louisville, KY

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 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 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 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.

Share this with those who have made a difference in your life.

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