How did you do? Hmmm...not so well?

The point is, none of us remembers the headliners from yesterday. These are not the 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.

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 are the ones that care. They are the mentors!
