> 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.
>
> 4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.
>
> 5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winner 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.
>
> "Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow
>
> in Australia." (Charles Schultz)
