Who made a difference in your life?

This wonderful lesson was shared with me by my friend Priya Deelchand in my favourite group "Happiness Is Your Birthright!" on Facebook. It goes like this:

Hello my dearest friends,

Here is something really interesting that I would like to share with you today.

You don't have to actually answer the questions. Just read this message and you'll get the point.

1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.

2. Name the last five winners of the Miss Universe contest.

3. Name ten people who have won the Nobel Prize.

4. Name the last half dozen Oscar winners for best

actor and actress.

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 three people who have taught you something worthwhile.

4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated

and special.

5. Think of three people you enjoy spending time with.

6. Name half a dozen heroes whose stories have inspired you.

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.

Now my dear friend, come and share with us who made a difference in your life.

Much love,

Priya:))
