"The Difference"
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 remembers the headliners
of yesterday. These are no second-rate achievers.
They're the best in their fields. But the applause
dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten.
Accolades and certificates are buried with their
owners.
Now 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 a half dozen heroes whose stories have
inspired you.
Easier?
The lesson?
The people who make a difference in your life aren't
the ones with the most credentials, the most money,
or the most awards. They're the ones who care.
