Take out a piece of paper and a pen. We're going to take a quiz... well more like 2 quizzes. I have this book that I absolutely love titled "Where will you be five years from today?" and its just an inspirational book. I came across this quiz in it and it opened my eyes and I'd like to share it with you. So here we go... I'm serious about you getting out a piece of paper and a pen!
See how you do on Quiz #1:
- Name the 5 wealthiest people in the world.
- Name the last 5 Heisman Trophy winners.
- Name the last 5 winners of the Miss America contest.
- Name 10 people who have won either the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.
- Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and actress.
- Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.
Ok, now draw a line across your paper and try Quiz #2 below it:
- Name 3 teachers who aided your journey through school.
- Name 3 friends who have helped you through a difficult time.
- Name 3 people that have taught you something worthwhile.
- Name 5 people who have made you feel appreciated and special.
- Name 3 people that you enjoy spending time with.
- Name half a dozen heroes whose stories have inspired you.
How'd you do? Hopefully Quiz #2 was easier. The point is: "None of us remember the headliners of yesterday. These are not 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." Now re-read my quote at the beginning... its true :)
Quiz 2 is the one that counts! Great post...love, mom
