A simple but true life lesson...

It's June already - typically the month for Fathers Days, weddings, graduations and other celebrations - many marking new beginnings or celebrating a life lived or what's to come.. I received this in an email and thought I'd share it with all of you... a simple but true life lesson... Enjoy the sunshine.. Cheri Houston

This is the philosophy of Charles Schulz, the creator of the 'Peanuts' comic strip.
You don't have to actually answer the questions. Just ponder on them.  Read this 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 pageant.
4 Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.
5. Name the last six Academy Award winners for best actor & actress.
6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.

The point is, none of us remembers 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. 

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 simply are the ones who care the most; those people who have made a difference in your life…  and 'don’t worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia!'
