THE CHARLIE SCHULZ PHILOSOPHY
and
AGE CURES GLORY

I found this
while doing some research for Evolution of Self and felt that you would really
like it.
The following is the philosophy of Charles Schulz, the creator of the 'Peanuts'
comic strip.
You don't have to actually answer the questions. Just read 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 pageant.
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 soon the applause
dies; Awards tarnish; Achievements are forgotten and accolades and certificates
are buried with their owners. Spotlights dim and fame fades into history.
Here's another quiz. See how well 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 and special!!
5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.
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 simply are the ones who care the most.
My other
lesson here is that age cures glory. It might be all glitter and spotlights one
minute, but fame is fleeting and deep, loving, caring connections last.
'Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in
Australia!'
''Be Yourself. Everyone Else Is Taken!
I trust that you will enjoy the presentation of the lessons as much as I do.
Bright
Blessings, Chessie
