One that cares
The following is the philosophy of Charles Schultz, the creator of the "Peanuts" comic strip. You don't have to actually answer the questions. Just read the e-mail straight through, and you'll get the point.
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.
4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.
5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winner 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. Acheivements 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 most money, or the most awards. They are the ones that care.

It's madness
It's complete madness
To hate all roses because you got scratched by one thorn.
To give up all your dreams, because one did not come true.
To give up on your efforts, because one of them failed.
To condemn all your friends, because one of them betrayed.
Not to believe in love, because someone was unfaithful.
Remember that
Another chance may come up
A new friend
A new love
A new life
Never give up on anything.

Avoid the Seven Deadly Sins
- Pride, because it takes you down a one-way street.
- Covetousness, because it makes you unhappy, with what you have.
- Lust, because few people are able to escape the consequences.
- Anger, because it is the greatest waste of energy.
- Gluttony, because it can destroy you competitive edge, making you lose to the fellow who keeps his appetites in check.
- Envy, because it reveals your weaknesses and makes you powerless.
- Sloth, because the lazy, careless or disorganized person is easy prey for competitors.
The seven deadly sins are thousands of years old, but they are as treacherous today as ever.

Have you ever wondered?
How trees are made into paper, and paper into money.
How the Sun is so far away, yet we feel the heat,
How the tongue is what allows us to talk.
How a little bird knows how to fly when it leaves the nest,
How our bodies are so active, and suddenly we need to rest.
How we lie down at night, and put ourselves to sleep,
How dreams are allowed in our minds to creep.
How our emotions are stirred and we can cry,
How we suddenly become happy and the tears are dried.
How we can seen to be 'oh! so fine',
And instantly we can be half out of our mind.
How one day we have a friend, and one day we don't,
How sometimes people help us, and sometimes they won't.
How by hands of a clock moving, time goes by.
How fingernails seem to grow from under the skin,
How peace is said to come from within,
How we plant grain, and harvest corn,
How some babies are hatched and others are born.
If we have ever wondered and asked why,
The answer lies alone with the MAKER in the sky.
Just wondering.....Have you ever wondered?
