Charles Schultz Philosophy
The following is the philosophy of Charles Schultz, the
creator of the "Peanuts" comic strip. You do not have to actually answer
the questions. Just read [the e-mail] 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 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 is 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. Show how much you care, too.
"Do not worry about the world coming to an end today.
It is already tomorrow in Australia."
(Charles Schultz)
