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. Achievers are forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried with
their owners.
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 taught you something
worthwhile.
4.
Think of a few people who have made you feel
appreciated and special.
5.
Think of five (or 40) people you enjoy spending time
with.
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 are the
ones that care. Pass this on to those people who have made a difference in your
life. And then try to make a difference in someone else's life.
Make Dreams
Real.
