A Simple Philosophy........My wife just diagnosed with cancer..
This is a add on to this thread...we just got the call today at 230 that my wife has stage 2 breast cancer..I think this thread would be appropriate to ask for your prayers..sorry to change in the middle of this but we are both still kind of in shock..will be going to a surgeon and breast specialist next..Please pray to give us strength



The Charles Schulz Philosophy


The following is the philosophy of Charles Schulz, the creator of the 'Peanuts' comic strip.


You don't have to actually answer the questions.Just ponder on them.


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

This is very nice. This post is not getting enough attention, or else everybody already knows all about it and just skips past it.

It means something to me. Five stars.

I thought it had a great message...It`s so easy to get wrapped up in the world and forget about the simple things that make a difference...

obeonekanobie(sp?) here on the site said something the other day that went something like this----look at yourself as a ball of divine light, then go out and spread it to others and you`ll be suprised what a difference you can make..

I took that advice and tried it--it works wanders...

Re: A Simple Philosophy........My wife just diagnosed with cancer..
I`m not a huge American Idol fan, but did anybody notice Steven Tyler when he went up to the girl in the wheelchair at the end of the show..Man that was a genuine unconditional love moment and not an act..Beautiful thing I tell ya...Her boyfriend is definately a one of a kind also..Kudos to him


My wife and I were at the hospital the other day and when we went to radiology there was a young man in his late 30`s with a face mask on leaning over...no hair, red marks all over his feet and arms, about 6 bottles of I.V.`s running into him. I told him Hi when I walked in but I sure felt compelled to visit with him more but I had a moment of weakness. I`m not good in situations like that..definately an area I need to work on..I did say several prayers for him while we waited..But it just didn`t seem to be enough..It really bothered me that he was all alone..if that was my wife, or daughter/son I would have been right there beside him...sad picture that made an imprint on my soul

Yup---it was a moment, a true moment...I had that urge at the hospital the other day but damned if I could do anything but pray for the guy..maybe that is why Tyler`s actions hit me so hard..always little lessons to learn no doubt

You will get your chance to make up for what you seem to regard as being a missed opportunity.

If we are confessing here, let me tell you of my missed opportunity. A little old lady in the lobby at the grocery store had two full carts of groceries and, apparently, was asking everybody who walked past her for a ride home. I, too, had an overflowing grocery cart. As I passed by her, I hesitated for just a moment, considering the logistics of all of these groceries fitting into my itty bitty car. During that moment, she stopped a man who stood there listening, and I took that moment to shove off and head for home. I still cannot live down how badly I felt about not instantly volunteering to help this obviously needy woman. All she needed was a ride home. I should not have thought twice about helping her.

Since then, when I am in the grocery store, I help old people get things down off the top shelf; I stand there and chat with them in the middle of an aisle for as long as they want to chat; I help them unload their groceries at the check-out line. I seek out instances where I can be helpful. Maybe one day, I'll even run into that poor old lady who needed a ride home with her groceries.

Point is: you will be afforded other moments in which you can be helpful, and they will make up for the one moment where you hesitated. It is like a catalyst.
