See how many you can answer on the following 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 America pageant.
4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.
5. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.

How did you do?

Chances are, not so great.

The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday.
These are no second-rate achievers.
They are the best in their fields.

Achievements are forgotten...
And accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.


Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one:

1. List two 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 one person who has made you feel appreciated and special recently.
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.
