...how important your friends are!! 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 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 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 buriedwith their owners. Here's another quiz ...see how you do on this one:1. List at least two teachers who aided your journey through school.2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.3. Name four 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 .Wasn't that easier?The lesson: The people who make a difference in your lifeare not the oneswith the most credentials,the most money,or the most awards.They are the ones who care .Pass this on to those peoplewho have made a difference in your life .I just did."Don't worry about the worldcoming to an end today.It's already tomorrow in Australia."(Charles Schultz)

Makes you realise...

Aaawww, that's really sweet. I could only come up with four people I enjoy spending time with though!

I couldn't tell you who has the most money in this world or even who the most famous actor is, but I could tell who the heros are in my life because they are the ones who have made a diffrence. I'm thankful for each and every friend I have because in many ways they've all helped to pull me out of a few dark places and they've all made a big impact on my life even if they don't know it.
