The Charles Schulz Philosophy...

The following is the philosophy of 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 6

Academy Award winners for best actor & 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 have

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, like I did.
