I got this email from a friend and I was so touched by the message I thought I'd pass it along to all of you ......a little maudlin but who gives a shit...it's Christmas.
Charles Schultz Philosophy
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 email 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.
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 are the ones
that care.
Pass this on to those people who have made a difference in your life.
THAT IS WHY I SENT IT TO YOU!
"Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already
tomorrow in Australia" (Charles Schultz)
