Hello friends,
Hope all is well. I was thinking about the people who have made a positive impact on my life. My parents. My teachers. A supervisor I once had. I've been fortunate to have had people around who cared enough to push me to do better. These people helped to nurture my dreams. I have many more aspirations and I'm thankful for the people that will come into my life in the future.
Here's a quick quiz, that will help you identify who has really made an impact on your life.
The Thirty Second Quiz
Author Unknown
Don't bother getting a pen and paper... just read... if you can't
answer them, just keep going.
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 contest.
4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer prize.
5. Name the last five Academy Award winners for Best Actor and Actress.
How did you do?
The point is, none of us remembers the headliners of yesterday. These are no second-rate achievers. They're the best in their fields. But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.
Now here's another quiz. See how you do on this one:
1. Name three teachers who aided your journey through school.
2. Name three friends who helped you through a difficult time.
3. Name five people who have taught you something worth while.
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 aren't the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They're the ones who care.
So who are the people in your life that have helped you along the way? These are the individuals that make life a joy to live. Take a moment to call one of those people who have inspired you and thank them. They will really appreciate it.
Thanks for listening.
