Charles Schultz Philosophy

 

The following is the philosophy

of Charles Schultz,

the creator of

the “Peanuts” comic strip.

 

You don’t have to actually

answer the questions.

 

Just read the post

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.

 

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 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 are the ones that care .

 

Pass this on to those people

who have made a difference

in your life.

 

“Don’t worry about the world

coming to an end today.

It’s already tomorrow

in Australia .”

(Charles Schultz)
