1.Name the 5 wealthiest people in
the world. 2. Name the last 5 Superbowl
winners. 3. Name the last 5 Miss World contest winners. 4. Name 10 people who
have won the Nobel Peace prize. 5. Name the last 10 Oscar winners for the best
movie. 6. Name the last 10 Grand Prix Formula 1 winners.
The point is: few of us remember the
headlines of yesterday. We heard of all these great achievers when they won
something. The are the best in their fields. The applause dies away, The
achievements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates and trophies are buried
with their owners. But here’s another quiz – see how you do on this one. You
have to answer this time.
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 and special. 5.
Think of five people you enjoy spending time with. 6. Name half a dozen heroes
whose stories have inspired you.
Easier? The lesson is simple. The
people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with most
credentials, the biggest bank account or the most rewards or trophies. They are
the ones who care, who left an impact in your life, who were there when you
needed them the most.
