 Prospects
Are Like A Box of Chocolates
Three Very Revealing Quizzes For You:
Do You Think Like A Prospect?
Some things just cannot possibly be said any better.
This first article is one of them. It’s a piece I’m
borrowing from Ed Thorpe who writes “The Home Grown
Biz Advocate Ezine”. You can visit Ed on the web at
http://www.lazydudepublishing.com. His article
really sets up our main quiz today. Here it is:
The Charles Schultz Lesson By Edward Thorpe
If you're like me, you've probably asked yourself "Hm,
what kinda person am
I? Am I a good, honest, caring person?" etc.
What I'm getting at . . .
We all have some ideas about who we are and what we
stand for, wouldn't
you agree? Because you're here and you don't yet
know me, you deserve to
know what kinda guy I am.
Actually, I couldn't tell you the things important
to me, any better than Charles Schultz, the creator
of the much-loved 'Peanuts' cartoon series, did.
The following was written by the late Charles
Schultz and is a darn near perfect
description of how I view life in general.
(You don't actually have to take the quiz below.
Just read it straight through.
You'll get the point.)
"The Charles Schultz Philosophy!"
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 any ten people who have won the Nobel or
Pulitzer prize.
5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners
for best actor.
6. Name the last decade's 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.
