You Make a Difference
The following is something to make us stop and think. Take
the 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 the five 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. |

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 rewards. They are the ones
who care.
