Charles Schultz's Philosophy

Charles Schultz Philosophy

The following is the philosophy of Charles Schultz, the creator of the 'Peanuts' comic strip. You don't have to actually answer the questions.. Just read the message straight through, and you'll get the answer.
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 India Contest.
4.. Name ten people who have won the Nobel 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? Find it difficult?

The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday. They are not 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 to get best scores.

2.. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.

3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile to make what you are today.

4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and made you 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 wealthy ones, or the most award winners.

They are the ones who care for you, & always be with you without any selfish motive.

Life is relation, please do not mix up material world with relation.

Article: Facebook Tests News Feed Ads From Pages Users Haven’t Liked Yet

I guess it's time to start the process of moving out of Facebook. It's just starting to become too "intrusive" for my taste.

I was just about getting tired of the "Pages you may like" and "Sponsored Stories". Now why would I want to see things from advertisers that possibly don't like

Get That Sh*t Done!

There are very few things that are as satisfying as the feeling you get when you get something done. It’s a feeling of accomplishment, of joy, of achievement, and of fulfilment. It could be as simple a task as reading all unread mails for the day, or as complicated as finishing a blog post.

The one common thing that I have noticed in successful people that I know, is that they know how to get sh*t done. They act as catalysts for themselves and for others because they are always high on the joyous feeling of accompalishment. They break up their day into small tasks, and get those tasks done.

If you’re writing a book, maybe set the goal of writing a paragaraph a day, but get that sh*t done.

If you’re writing a song, maybe focus on writing only the lyrics of the chorus one day, but make sure you get that sh*t done.

Set tasks. Get one done. Feel good and sing "Kumbaya". Move on to the next task.

When these simple things become hard to do, you know its time for a change. And if it is time for a change, GET THAT SH*T DONE!

Maybe the key then is to set smaller tasks and make sure to get them done. For some it might work for others it might not. It all depends on what suits you. However you do it, whether you set one goal, or set smaller goals, you better learn how to get it done.
