The Charles Schulz Philosophy

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 on them.   Just   read the email 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 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.

Easier?

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 about you and you about them .

Pass this on to those people whom you keep close in your heart.

“Don’t worry about the world coming to an end today.  It won’t.

It’s already tomorrow in Australia!”
