Aloha,<\/p>\n

A friend sent me this e mail. I have always love Charles Schultz, the author of the Peanuts comic strip. I tried to find out where this e mail started and only found lots of places it resides. If someone knows the original author please let me know. For now, with love I share this simple “test.”<\/p>\n

The following is the philosophy of Charles
\nSchultz, the creator of the “Peanuts” comic
\nstrip. You don’t have to actually answer the questions. Just read straight
\nthrough, and you’ll get the point.
\n

1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.
\n
\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.
\n
3. Name the last five winners of the Miss
\nAmerica.
4.
\nName ten people who have won the Nobel or
\nPulitzer Prize.
\n
5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winner
\nfor best actor and actress.
6. Name the last decade’s worth of World Series
\nwinners.<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/b><\/p>\n

The point is, none of us remember the headliners
\nof yesterday. These are no second-rate
\nachievers. They are the best in their fields.
\nBut the applause dies. Awards tarnish.
\nAchievements are forgotten. Accolades and
\ncertificates are buried with their owners.<\/span><\/font>
