Silence is…..........By: Kyle Carruthers.......

Silence is an absence
Silence is profound
Silence is a conversation
Being had without sound
Silence is an expression
One that cannot be heard
Silence cannot be spoken
Although it is a word
Silence is a presence
Of great nothingness
Silence can be something
And yet cease to exist
Silence can fill a room
And have no mass at all
Silence cannot be dropped, yet it can fall
Silence is a mystery
That will forever go unsolved
Silence is how every sound can swiftly be dissolved
Silence is the sound of rest
The only sound that can sound best
While other sounds can cause great pain
Silence is not the sound to blame
For Silence is what silence is
Something that is nothing
Nothing that exists

The following is the philosophy of Charles Schultz...

Just read the posting straight through, and you'll get the point...

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 winner 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.
Accolades 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.



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 .
