I have never been especially impressed by the heroics of people convinced they are about to change the world. I am more awed by those who struggle to make one small difference.

[Via Marjan Glavac ]
Nanci Fine sent this inspirational message.
Something to think about
Charles Schultz Philosophy
Just read through these, you'll get the point.
Name the five wealthiest people in the world.
Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.
Name the last five winners of Miss America.
Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.
Name the last six Academy Award winners for best actor or actress.
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 nosecond-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields. But the applause die.
Awards tarnish.
Achievements are forgotten.
Accolades and certificates areburied with their owners.
Here's some more things to think about. See how well you do on this quiz!
List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.
Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.
Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.
Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.
Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.
Easier?
