"A Lesson"
The following is something to make us stop
and think. Take this 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 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.
