very interesting philosophy of Charles Schultz

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 contest.
> 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. 6. Name half a dozen
> heroes whose stories have inspired you.
> 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)
