WHO CARES?

[AKA2D '91]

Just passing this along. Enjoy your weekend.


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? Not very well I'll bet. I didn't either.

The point is, none of us remembers the head liners of yesterday. These
are no second-rate achievers. They're the best in their fields. But
the
applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades
and
certificates are buried with their owners.
Now 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 touched your heart to tears with their
inner
strength, compassion, and beauty.

4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and
special.

5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.

6. Name a half dozen heroes whose stories have inspired you.

Easier? The lesson? The people who make a difference in your life
aren't
the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most
awards.

They're the ones who care.
