THE PHILOSOPHY OF "PEANUTS" CREATOR, CHARLES SCHULTZ

The following is the philosophy of Charles Schultz, the creator of
the "Peanuts" comic strip. You don't have to actually answer the
questions. Just read straight through, and you'll understand the message.

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 a NOBEL or PULITZER Prize.
5. Name the last 5 ACADEMY AWARD winners for best actor or actress.
6. Name the last decade's worth of WORLD SERIES winners.

How well did you do? Actually, few people remember the headliners of yesterday. These are no second-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields! But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Acheivements are forgotten.

Here's another quiz. See how well 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 DIFFICULT times.
3. Name five people who have taught you SOMETHING WORTHWHILE.
4. Think of some people who have made you feel APPRECIATED or SPECIAL.
5. List five people you ENJOY spending TIME with.

Easier? The people who make a difference in your life are NOT the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or big awards.

They are the ones who CARE about you.

Thanks for caring about streetkids and for spending time reading our website.

If you want to help them, please let us know. We'll show you how. You don't have to be powerful, brilliant, or wealthy. Just care. No matter what your talent, skill, age or ability, we welcome your interest in the O.W.L.S.

Thank you and God Bless.
