THE DIFFERENCES WE MAKE As this new year begins, and so many folks are starting new jobs, getting promotions, receiving awards, beginning new assignments (myself included) - ask yourself these questions: Who are the five wealthiest 💵 people in the world? Who are the last four Heisman🏆 trophy winners? Name the last three winners of the Miss America pageant 👸🏻. Name five people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize 🏅. List the last five Academy Award winners for best actor. Name the last decade’s worth of World Series winners…in order 🥴. How did you do? The point is this…none of us remember the headliners of yesterday. Yes, it’s true that these aren’t second-rate achievers (they’re the best in their fields)…but the applause 👏 dies, awards tarnish, achievements are forgotten, and accolades and certificates are buried with their owners 🪦. Here’s another quiz. See how you do on this one: List a few teachers who aided your journey through school. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special!! Think of five people you enjoy spending time with. Easier? The lesson for us all is this… The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. The differences (the ones that really matter) are simply made by the ones who care the most and are there for you. (adapted from Charles Schulz) #caringforothers #makeadifference #worley
