Real Celebrity

Quick - answer these questions:

1. Name the 5 wealthiest people in the world.
2. Name the last 5 Nobel Prize winners.
3. Name the last 5 Miss Universe winners.
4. Name the last 6 Academy Award winners for best actor and actress.
5. Name the last 10 World Series winners.

How did you do?

Don't worry if you didn't know the answers. Most people don't. They are yesterday's headlines and their achievements are quickly forgotten, no matter how loud the applause was.

Here's another quiz.

1. Name the teacher(s) who made a difference in your school career.
2. Name 3 friends who have helped you through tough times.
3. Name 5 people who have taught you valuable life lessons.
4. Name 3 people who make you feel appreciated.
5. Name 5 people you enjoy spending time with.

These are the people who make a difference in your life. The rest of us probably haven't heard of them. They don't have the most impressive credentials, bags of money or make the headlines. They simply care.

Most people don't care what you do until they know you care. Whose list would your name be on?

Hello Aprille:

I love this post. It is so much about what I teach my business associates - it really all starts with the caring, which leads to authentic sharing. And then the relationship unfolds. What you have shared here is such a great reminder about what really matters -- and it is all about how people make you feel!
