The Peanuts quiz

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 them briefly:

Name the five wealthiest people in the world.
Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.
Name the last five winners of the Miss America pageant.
Name the last person to win the Nobel Prize.
Name the last person to win the Pulitzer Prize.
Name the last actor or actress to win an Academy Award.
Name the last World Series winners.

How did you do? These are not second-rate achievers, they are the best in their fields. But as the applause dies and the awards tarnish the achievements are forgotten, and the accolades and certificates are buried with their owners. The lesson is that none of us remember the headliners of yesterday. Here's the rest of the Charles Schulz quiz. See how you do on this one:

Name a teacher who aided you in school.
Name a friend who helped you through a difficult time.
Name a person who taught you something worthwhile.
Name someone who made you feel appreciated and special.
Name all the people you enjoy spending time with.

The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials, or the most money, or the most awards. They simply are the ones who care the most. The lesson is to be yourself because everyone else is taken! Pass this on to someone who has made a difference in your life, and take this opporutnity to make a difference in someone else's life.
