According to Urban Legends a spokesman for Mr. Schultz denies this came from him, but I still like it and want to pass it on!
CHARLES SCHULTZ PHILOSOPHY
You don’t actually have to take the quiz. Just read this straight through
and you’ll get the point. It is trying to make an awesome point!
Here’s the first quiz:
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
facts are, 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.”
