Can you name the 10 wealthiest men in the world, name the last 10 winners of the Miss World contest, name 10 people who’ve won an Academy Award etc… it isn’t surprising if we don’t remember, even though these are the best in their fields. But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten.. Now try this.. Name 3 people you enjoy spending time with, name 10 people who have taught you something worthwhile, name 5 friends who’ve helped you in a difficult time etc… Easier? It is for most. The lesson? The people who make a difference are not the ones with the credentials, but the ones with the concern.
