thought o' the day...

[Daniel Forlano]

Love is, among other things, the experience of wholly identifying with another persons sincerity. – Peter Schjeldahl (The New Yorker, 29 Oct, 2001)

[Peter Voice]

Love is, among other things, when another person's well-being becomes intrinsic to your own.

PHILOSOPHY FROM THE LATE CHARLES SCHULTZ.
Take this quiz:

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 contest.

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. Accolade 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.

6. Name half a dozen heroes whose stories have inspired you.

Is this easier? So, what's the 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 are the ones that care. Pass this on to those people who have made a difference in your life.

And don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia.

"My hope is one day,some fat girl from Ohio will be the next Mozart,and make some beautifull movie on her fathers camera recorder.And,for once and for all the so called proffessionalism about movies will be destroyed,and it will truly become an art form."
