The Charles Schultz Philosophy... and Now Mine!  

Tags:


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 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 are
simply the ones that care the most. 
 
 
Pass this on to those people who have made a
difference in your life.
