Quiz: Can You Name 6 Out Of 6?

The late Charles Shulz was famous for being the creator of the comic strip “Peanuts.”

But he came up with a pair of little quizzes once that he used to put into perspective who the real heroes in our lives should be. Invest a minute or two in these two:

Here’s the first quiz:
1. Name the wealthiest person in the world.
2. Name the last Heisman trophy winner.
3. Name the last winners of the Miss America contest.
4. Name a person who won a recent Nobel Prize.
5. Name the last Academy Award winners for best actor and actress.
6. Name the last World Series winner.

Here’s the second quiz:
1. Name a teacher who aided your journey through school.
2. Name a friend who helped you through a difficult time.
3. Name a person who taught you something worthwhile.
4. Think of someone who made you feel appreciated and special.
5. Think of a person you enjoy spending time with.
6. Name someone who has inspired you.

Shulz wrapped up his quiz with this thought, “Applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners. 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 who cared about you.”

As we go through life, let’s make sure our goals and priorities include getting our name on someone else’s second list.
