1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.
2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.

4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.
5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor 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 their fields.
But the applause dies.
Awards tarnish.
Achievements 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 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 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.
The lesson being Teach Your Children to pick the right friends and to be a good friend, to honor good character and people with values you admire, and be helpful to others, etc...........another good lesson, don't you agree?

No. 6 is pretty easy.
Okay, I failed the first quiz.
The second was a breeze.
Leticia, exactly.
Exclude the one time wonders... and the Spankees still make the list.
Hey, Beck Fan! Welcome.
I've been wondering what Beck's been up to...I know he's moving to TX and going to Jerusalem.
Is he on his internet show yet?
what's a Spankee?
...a defeated "Yankee", in fowl language.
#6 on the list...
thanks, Glenn!! :-)
The nobel prize has lost a lot of its legitimacy, particularly after it was given to a fool who essentially did nothing, right before he did everything to screw everything up.
I suppose it was better that way, otherwise it would have become an award for losers.
the 5th qiz is great to me.
