What is worth remembering

From a friend who is an answer to all the 5 questions in part 2.
From a friend who has seen me through the ups and downs, experienced the same joy and pain in growing up.
From a friend whom the heart leaps with joy upon meeting.

To all of you out there who needs a kind reminder about the important people in life.

Charles Schultz Philosophy

The following is the philosophy of Charles Schultz, the creator ofthe "Peanuts" comic strip. You don't have to actually answer thequestions. Just read the e-mail straight through, and you'll get thepoint.
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 t he 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. Theyare not second-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields. Butthe 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 theones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards.They are the ones who care.

S hare this with those who have made a difference in your life.
