You don’t have to actually answer the questions below. Just read the text straight through, and you’ll get the point.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.<\/li>\n
  2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.<\/li>\n
  3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America title.<\/li>\n
  4. Name ten people who have won either the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.<\/li>\n
  5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and actress.<\/li>\n
  6. Name the last decade’s worth of World Series winners.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    How did you do?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    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 .<\/p>\n

    Here’s another quiz. See how you do on this one:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.<\/li>\n
    2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.<\/li>\n
    3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.<\/li>\n
    4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.<\/li>\n
    5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Easier?<\/p>\n

      The lesson:<\/strong>\u00a0The 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.<\/p>\n
