This is a forwarded email from a friend. With the popularity Facebook, Twitter and Youtube, I seldom get this kind of email. Instead of forwarding it to others, I decided to post this on my blog. I like this kind of philosophy. It is aligned with my “Life with less fewer worries” slogan.

The following is the philosophy of Charles Schulz, the creator of the ‘Peanuts’ comic strip.
You don’t have to actually answer the questions.
Just ponder on them.
Slowly 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 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.

How did you do?
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.

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 simply are the ones who care the most.
