The Charles Schulz Philosophy

The following is the
philosophy ascribed to Charles
Schulz, the creator of the 'Peanuts' comic strip.

You don't have to
actually answer the questions. Just ponder on them. 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 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'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 simply are the ones who care the most!

Pass this on to those
people who have made a difference in your life.

"Be Yourself,
Everyone Else Is Taken!"

This was sent to me via email. I thought this is true.
