                         You don't actually have to take this quiz. Just =
read the
email straight through, and you'll get the point, an awesome one, that it =
is
trying to make!

                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 contest.
                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.

                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.
                5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.
                6. Name half a dozen heroes whose stories have inspired =
you.

                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.
