You don't have to actually answer the questions. Just ponder on
them.




Just read 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.













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 lessonyou've probably already figured it out)





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!




Pass this on to 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 !'

I can only answer #6 off trhe top of my head - the last 10 WS winners. As I am a baseball fanatic and stat geek.

I can't remember anyone's birthday and forget most holiday's, but I can tell you than in1986, Eric Davis stole 80 bases.
