Possibly the Most important thing you'll read this Year... The following is the philosophy of Charles Schulz, the creator of the 'Peanuts' comic strip. You don't have to actually answer the questions. Just ponder on them. Just read it 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 pageant. 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 most money ... or the most awards. They simply are the ones who care the most. #extraordinarynotordinary

Thanks Sharon Hulce. In response to reading your post, I felt prompted to act. Here is my attempt at addressing Point 1 in your quiz; For any teachers who read this; I would like to encourage all the teachers out there who do such an incredible service to society. In respect of this, I’ve tried to capture the immense impact my own physics teacher, Mr Rowlands, had on me. He opened my eyes to the magic of Physics and how truly vast and complex our reality truly is. I think in many cases, teachers never get a complete picture of the downstream effects their work can have. https://www.formresilience.com/dear-mr-rowlands-thank-you/

Sharon Hulce a powerful testament to how society often overvalues transient achievements like wealth and fame, while undervaluing the lasting impact made by those who genuinely care for us. Your perspective has prompted me to acknowledge those individuals who've truly impacted my life positively, not for their worldly achievements, but for their kindness and unwavering support. HNY, Alex

6moIndeed, I’m thinking often about encounters with people who have left memories with me, Sharon Hulce, for example, I’m thinking ✳ of my grandparents and events, some of which date back more than 50 years and are still present in my mind. ✳ of a reunion with old friends I haven’t seen for years and talking to me as if it were the continuation of yesterday’s conversation. ✳ of learning experiences in a professional or private environment, where a piece of advice or an example has paved the way for me. These experienced situations are my role models. Because that’s how I would like to be remembered one day. With my impact through encounters with people, whether in a private or professional environment. And these thoughts determine my actions today, in the here and now. What a wonderful post by you.
