You don't actually have to take the quiz.

Just read the emailstraight through, and you'll get the point (an awesome one) that it is trying to make!

Take this quiz:
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 Singapore contest.
4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzerprize.
5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for bestactor 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 theirfields. But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried withtheir owners.

Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one:
1. List a few teachers who aided your journey throughschool.
2. Name three friends who have helped you through adifficult time.
3. Name five people who have taught you somethingworthwhile.
4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciatedand special.
5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.
6. Name half a dozen heroes whose stories have inspiredyou.

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 are the ones that care...
