“What matters” - Charlie Brown’s Philosophy?
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 e-mail 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 .
*THAT IS WHY I SENT IT TO YOU!
"Don’t worry about the world coming to an end today . It’s already tomorrow in Australia !" (Charles Schultz)
