New Year Resolution

With just a blink of an eye 2008 is behind me and 2009 is ahead of me. Do I let the past burden me or should I keep looking forward? I would say I would not forget the past but I will keep moving forward with optimism. I have said a dozen times that it doesn't make a difference whether you want to lead your life happily or full with sorrow. Life just keeps going on regardless of your emotions. Instead of wallowing in sadness or self pity, lets just live life to the max happily...c'est la vie.

I figure this piece of questionaire would lighten things up abit.

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 pageant.
4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.
5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and
actress.
6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.

How did you do?
The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday.
These are no second-rate achievers.
They are the best in their fields.
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 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.

Easier?
The lesson:
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 simply are the ones who care the most.

Hence my new year resolution...to cherish those who cares about me the most
