The following is the philosophy of Charles Schulz, the creator of the 'Peanuts' comic strip:
"Name the five wealthiest people in the world.
Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.
Name the last five winners of the Miss America pageant.
Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.
Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and actress.
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:
List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.
Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.
Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.
Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.
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."
"YOU THINK YOU HAVE TIME — On average, you get 4,000 weeks in your life. If you’re 25, you’ve already used 1,300 of them. That’s over a quarter of your life gone. The next 1,300 won’t wait for you. You’ve got about 50 summers left, 50 times to watch the sunset, and rise before the countdown begins for real. Think about it. You spend 26 years of your life asleep. You waste 7 years scrolling, stuck in traffic, standing in line. You’re left with fragments. And every second you wait to start living, one of those fragments is gone. The present is the only time that’s guaranteed, so what are you waiting for?"
Lyrics
I turn on the tube what do I see
A whole lotta people cryin' don't blame me
They point their crooked little fingers everybody else
Spend all their time feelin' sorry for themselves
Victim of this victim of that
Your momma's too thin and your daddy's too fat
Get over it
Get over it
All this whinin' cryin' pitchin' a fit
Get over it get over it
You say you haven't been the same since you had your little crash
But you might feel better if they gave you some cash
The more I think about it old Billy was right
Let's kill all the lawyers kill 'em tonight
Don't want to work you want to live like a king
But the big bad world doesn't owe you a thing
Get over it
Get over it
If you don't want to play then you might as well split
Get over it get over it
It's like going to confession every time I hear you speak
You're makin' the most of your losin' streak
Some call it sick but I call it weak...
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Yeah you drag it around like a ball and chain
Wallow in the guilt wallow in the pain
Wave it like a flag wear it like a crown
Got your mind in the gutter bringin' everybody down
Complain about the present blame it on the past
I'd like to find your inner child kick its little ***
Get over it
Get over it
All this *****in' and moanin' pitchin' a fit
Get over it get over it

^^^ Man, that is so true. Silence is the best medicine. The person in need will ask questions when the time is right, and you will be there for them.
