When my sister got married, I made up a book for her, and while I've been staying with her, I've been looking through it again.  This is one of the contributions in the book, however it doesn't have an author's name.  I'm not sure who wrote it, but I love it anyway.

The thirty second quiz

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 winners of the Miss America contest.
3. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.
4. Name the last five Academy Award winners for Best Actor and Actress.

How did you do?  These are no second-rate achievers; they're the best in their field.  But the applause dies.  Awards tarnish.  Achievements are forgotten.

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. Name a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.
5. Name five people you enjoy spending time with.

Easier?  The people who make a difference in your life aren't the ones with the most credentials, most money or the most awards.  They're the ones who care.
