You May Never Know The Difference You Made
Take a few moments to go through the following quiz and see what thoughts you have.
- Name the 5 wealthiest people in the world.
- Name the last 5 Heisman trophy winners.
- Name the last 5 winners of the Miss America pageant.
- Name 10 people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer prize.
- Name the last 6 Academy Award winners for Best Actor or Actress.
- Name the last 6 World Series winners.
How did you do? The point is that none of us remember all of the headliners of yesterday. These are no second-achievers. They are the best in their field. Eventually though, the applause fades, awards tarnish and accolades end.
Here is another quiz. See how you do on this one.
- List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.
- Name 3 friends who have helped you through a difficult time.
- Name 5 people who have taught you something worthwhile.
- Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.
- Think of 5 people you enjoy spending time with.
- Name 5 personal heroes whose stories have inspired you.
Which quiz did you find more enjoyable to take? Just thinking of all of the positive people in our lives is such a joy. The lesson in all of this is that the people who make a difference in your life (and you in theirs) are not always the ones with the most credentials, the most money or the most awards. They are the ones that care.
Stay well,
