A New Year's Message---With Charles Schulz's Philosophy

  • A New Year's Message---With Charles Schulz's Philosophy

We wish you a Healthy, Prosperous, and Happy New Year!

 

In the New Year we look forward to the following changes; the hollowed out US Armed Forces will be strengthened, there will be an improvement in the health care of Veterans, the US economy will recover at a 3% growth rate, that the massive violations of US Federal Immigrations Laws will finally cease, the repeated violations of the US Constitution will end, that there will be new affordable health care insurance program for all Americans, political correctness will be replaced by Freedom of Speech, and the subtle attacks against Judeo Christian religious beliefs in the US Armed Forces will no longer be promoted.

 

The creator of the “Peanuts” comic strip, Charles Schultz’s, below listed philosophy is appropriate as we enter the New Year.

Charles Schulz’s Philosophy

 

You aren’t expected to actually answer Charles Schultz’s questions. To get his point, just read his E-mail straight through. 

 

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. 

4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize. 

5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winner for best actor and actress. 

6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.

The point is-----none of us remember the headliners of yesterday, and they were not second-rate achievers. They were the best in their fields. 

But the applause died.  Awards tarnish.  Achievements are forgotten.  Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.  

Another series of questions to consider: 

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. 

 

The lesson?  

The people who make a difference in our lives are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. 

The people who make a difference are the ones who “care.”

"Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia." (Charles Schulz)
