Charles Schulz's Philosophy

From Emom's buddy, MarvinLL:

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 read 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. They are not 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 who care. "Don't worry about the world coming to an end today.It's already tomorrow in Australia " (Charles Schulz)

Great thoughts. My feelings have always been that I would not even walk across a room to meet a celebrity but I would to greet a friend.

Thanks for posting this. I have never been in awe of anyone famous-they are just people who have a talent and it got noticed-no different from you or I. I am in awe of just everyday people who make a difference in some else's life. I have had quite a few of those in my own, especially when my husband was sick and right after he passed away. I was astounded by what everyday friends and neighbors will and can do.
