THE ONES WHO MADE A DIFFERENCE

I took tis quiz from Nightingale's blog.Wrote MY answers below each ques.

1. Name the 5 wealthiest people in the world.
The Sultan of Brunei,Bill Gates.....duno the rest...=P
2. Name the last five Olympic gold medalists.
No idea.Not a fan of sports even tho my dad's a national athelete....
3. Name the last five winners of the Miss Universe Contest.
Sushmita Sem,Diana Hayden,i think.....
4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.
I knw 2 scientist won it a few months bck fer discoverin tat gastric is caused by bacteria...am i right?
5. Name the last half dozen Oscar Award winners for best actor & best actress.
Halle Berry?.....5 more duno...

How did you do? The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday. These are no second-rate achievers. 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 added your journey through school.
Mrs.Tan,Pn.Rahsia,Mr.Harry Tan,Mrs.Lim Sioung Yau,Miss Quek,Mrs.Raja...
2. Name 3 friends who have helped you through a difficult time.
Janice,Peters,Chern Ling
3. Name 5 people who have taught you something worhtwhile.
Ramesh,Peters,Tini,.....
4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.
Ramesh,My family,my frens....
5. Think of 5 people you enjoy spending time with.
Ramesh,My family,my cousins,Tini,Su,Janice,Peters,Abs,Lin,Deepa,Preesha,and the list goes on.....

Easier isn't it? This just shows that the people who make a difference in our life are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are the ones that care. Share this to those people who have made a difference in your life.

    It is very true. People who are wealthy, have been great achievers in their field of work or in school are not usually the people we remember as years go on. Unless of course these people have done something great.
    People we remember are people who sometimes have not achieved successfully in their profession or with their financial needs but have big hearts and have added themselves in our world as people with good deeds as a good deed is never lost. He who sows courtesy, reaps friendship, he who plants kindness, gathers love, pleasure bestows upon a grateful mind, but generally gratitude begets reward.

    Hi PQ! Ya, we rarely remember these great, wealthy achievers especially if they don't directly influence our lives or who we've never really personally come across with. It's the people who have touched us through kindness, generosity, love and friendship that really nake a nark in our lives :-)
    Happy New Year!
