Charles Schultz Philosophy



The following is the philosophy of Charles Schultz, the creator of the'Peanuts' comic strip. You don't have to actually answer the questions. Just read 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 winners 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 headlinersof yesterday. These are no second-rate achievers. They are the best in theirfields. 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 .



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 .


'Don't worry about the world coming to an end today.
It's already tomorrow in Australia' (Charles Schultz)

It is, I repeat, it is the 'weaker sex' attitude our Indian parents keep towards their female children that makes our females weak throughout their life and when they need to be strong and defending, they simply fail and get carried away by the spoon-fed attitude in them that they are weak. It is idiotic to say that as per our culture, women are supposed to be this and that, and men are supposed to be enjoying certain privileges, and they can go to any lengths to get their things done. It is good if things are taking shape according to the need to the times.

See how a female child grows up in an Indian family. From the very day of the birth itself, the female child is looked down upon. Though not evidently, there is a feeling in all parents that the newborn is going to be a liability. Imagine that a baby boy follows after a couple of years. The shift of attitude the parents themselves towards their female child is enough to leave that child vulnerable to aggression, exploitation and deprivation. And the boy, who grows up with extra privileges, happens to develop asocial tendencies that make him feel that it is all right to keep girls and their modesty undermined.

However, the girls grow up with the constant feeding from their parents that girls are to be confined to certain limits and they have to be very careful when they are out, and they are so easily cheated and exploited, so it is better for them to be subservient as to be protected by their male counterparts. This psychological warfare is constantly carried out by their own parents, makes the female kids scared and subservient, and turns them into easy prey. And when a society gets filled with such boys and girls of two different makes and their parents, what we can expect is nothing less than what we get through our media on a daily basis: molestation, rape, eve teasing and otherwise undermining of the modesty of girls and even school kids as young as five year-old. This is deterioration and total collapse of conscience.

Where is the way out? It is in our homes. Today's nuclear parents must take a different look at their female kids. They have to understand that it is their attitude towards their female kids that is going to make some changes in their lives. It is the parents' vision, attitude and sensitivity towards their kids' that determines whether their female kids are going to be accepted or aggressed. If parents could inculcate in their kids a kind of gender parity from the very day of birth itself, there will be changes in the long run.

Naturally, the kids come to hold a confidence that they are what they are and their position and value in the society are going to be determined by their own conscience. The very same conscience will be powerful to keep them in good stead. In such a scenario, we can expect our upcoming society to be a level-playing platform, shared for the mutual and harmonious coexistence of both the sexes, where there won't be any rapes and molestations, aggressions and exploitations.

Is it too much to ask of our parents to be true to and respect each other and inculcate the respect in their kids too? Is it not the best of all those attributes that we normally associate with all parents? Unfortunately, our domestic ambience itself is a microcosm of a hostile society, where females get sidelined and discriminated against. Therefore, first let us do whatever we can to keep our homes female-friendly. Such families alone can expect a society to be so. Every society gets what it deserves. The same way, every female member of the family gets what the family thinks she should deserve.

It is all easier said than done. In order to facilitate this domestic overhaul, we need to do a few more things.

Firstly, we all should learn to live without cable TV. These channels are the worst media that educate, inform and entertain our kids in the most threatening ways. This 'mediacation' is constant and cancerous. Kids soak in whatever they watch on these channels and it becomes a part of their eventual mental disposition.

Secondly, it's about sex - our villain. It is not a taboo. If parents do not know how to educate their kids about it and who in the world would do it for them? The father should educate his son/s and mother should take care of her daughter/s. Sex is a private affair. But sex education need not be so. It should not be something confidential.

Thirdly, dress code and physical appearance are to be considered. These should respect and compliment each other. Fashion is fine, but it is not to fuse the safer distance that exists between boys and girls. Delight comes from a distance. If the mother expects the world to ask her, "Which college are you studying in," we cannot expect her daughter to be philosophical with her appearance.

Do we need to let our kids watch the vulgarities and disgusting perversions choreographed by our so-called chocolate heroes and bikini heroines in our commercial films? There are other films worth taking our children to. It will work wonders in the female-male relations if they watch such beautiful films.

Make your family meet, mingle, share and understand on a daily basis. Let there be a feeling that family is a friendly place, where alone better human relations flourish. So, there is urgent need for female-friendly families.

Hi Friends,

I have read this somewhere else and find it very valuable so I would like to share it with you.Hope you like it.

God Pinged Me ....

God: Hello. Did you call me?
Me: Called you? No.. Who is this?

God: This is GOD. I heard your prayers. So I thought I will chat.
Me: I do pray. Just makes me feel good. I am actually busy now. I am in the midst of something.

God: What are you busy at? Ants are busy too.

Me: Don't know. But I can't find free time. Life has become hectic. It's rush hour all the time.

God: Sure. Activity gets you busy. But productivity gets you results.
Activity consumes time. Productivity frees it.

Me: I understand. But I still can't figure out. By the way, I was not expecting YOU to buzz me on instant messaging chat.

God: Well I wanted to resolve your fight for time, by giving you some clarity. In this net era, I wanted to reach you through the medium you are comfortable with.

Me: Tell me, why has life become complicated now?
God: Stop analyzing life. Just live it. Analysis is what makes it complicated.

Me: why are we then constantly unhappy?
God: Your today is the tomorrow that you worried about yesterday. You are worrying because you are analyzing. Worrying has become your habit. That's why you are not happy.

Me: But how can we not worry when there is so much uncertainty?
God: Uncertainty is inevitable, but worrying is optional.

Me: But then, there is so much pain due to uncertainty.
God: Pain is inevitable able, but suffering is optional.

Me: If suffering is optional, why do good people always suffer?
God: Diamond cannot be polished without friction. Gold cannot be purified without fire. Good people go through trials, but don't suffer. With that experience their life become better not bitter.

Me: You mean to say such experience is useful?
God: Yes. In every term, Experience is a hard teacher. She gives the test first and the lessons afterwards.

Me: But still, why should we go through such tests? Why can't we be free from problems?
God: Problems are Purposeful Roadblocks Offering Beneficial Lessons (to) Enhance Mental Strength. Inner strength comes from struggle and endurance, not when you are free from problems.

Me: Frankly in the midst of so many problems, we don't know where we are heading..
God: If you look outside you will not know where you are heading. Look inside. Looking outside, you dream. Looking inside, you awaken. Eyes provide sight. Heart provides insight.

Me: Sometimes not succeeding fast seems to hurt more than moving in the right direction. What should I do?
God: Success is a measure as decided by others. Satisfaction is a measure as decided by you. Knowing the road ahead is more satisfying than knowing you road ahead. You work with the compass. Let others work with the clock.

Me: In tough times, how do you stay motivated?
God: Always look at how far you have come rather than how far you have to go. Always count your blessing, not what you are missing.

Me: What surprises you about people?
God: When they suffer they ask, "why me?" When they prosper, they never ask "Why me". Everyone wishes to have truth on their side, but few want to be on the side of the truth.

Me: Sometimes I ask, who am I, why am I here. I can't get the answer.
God: Seek not to find who you are, but to determine who you want to be. Stop looking for a purpose as to why you are here. Create it. Life is not merely a process of discovery but a process of co-creation. You are my co-creator.

Me: How can I get the best out of life?
God: Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence.
Prepare for the future without fear.

Me: One last question. Sometimes I feel my prayers are not answered.
God: There are no unanswered prayers. At times the answer is NO.

Me: Thank you for this wonderful chat.
God: Well. Keep the faith and drop the fear. Don't believe your doubts and doubt your beliefs. Life is a mystery to solve not a problem to resolve. Trust me. Life is wonderful if you know how to live. "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that took our breath away!

BELIEVE IT OR NOT!!!
Read this true Incident... and let everybody you know in and around
Delhi, especially Gurgaon know this.......
My friend lives in Delhi... One day he went to Gurgaon to visit his
uncle for some days. One evening he and some other of my college
friends
went to Priya's for a movie. He had so much fun that he forgot that it
was
very late. He reached Gurgaon around midnight......
He had to walk about a mile from where his friend dropped him.... As he
was
walking alone, he could sense that the night felt very creepy as it was
so
dark. While walking, he was astonished to see an old creepy looking guy
selling some books. It was a very unusual thing to see a thing like
that..... It got the shivers on him when he noticed that his old guy is
unusually pale and staring at him...
The old guy said "Son why don't you get a book...it would
keep you
company". Then he did something which he would regret for the rest of
his
life .........
My friend started to act brave & thought why not & had a look at his
collection.. he noticed that all the books were related to supernatural
activities...but he found one that was very interesting. So he asked
the
old man "how much is it?"....
The old guy replied, "Well son...this is an interesting book...it's
only
for Rs 250. "
My friend was shocked and said "but...but...it's expensive"
This time the old man stared which freaked my friend. My friend quickly
checked all his pockets & found Rs.200 & said "This is all
I hav e." The old guy replied "It's OK son ...you can have the book
for that price"
As ! my friend was just about to run for
home...the old man called
back & said "Son ... whatever happen, you don't ever flip the book
to it's last page... remember these words or you would regret
it...!!!!!"
My friend nodded and never looked back ... Reaching home...he
quickly asked his Uncle whether there was any new old book seller
nearby? The Uncle replied "not that I know of but ...we've heard that
there's 1 old man comes once in a while during full moon nights but
heard
that there is something creepy about it...why son?"
My friend freaked out... he told his uncle "nothing uncle...just
asking". He started reading the book with the old man's words on
his mind. At night, 2 o'clock, as he went to bed, a gush of wind blew
which
chilled him up to his bones. At that glimpse, he noticed the wind had
blown
the pages to its last page. He
remembered what the old man has said!
But we
humans tend to have the tendency to know. Out of curiosity, he flipped
to
the last page & fainted...
What he saw at the last page is stated below:
Don't look further down if you have a weak heart I warn you

Today I would like to introduce my friend MANASI BANERJEE-Both of us in nineth standard when we first met.We were in the same school and same section. She was just opposite to me in nature. She was not so boistureous like me rather she was very quiet ,docile and very gentle girl. Gradually we became friends. Whenever I caught a fight with other girls of my class she always supported me and protected me. We bacame best friend.We used to share not only our lunch but our problems thoughts everything. She was very good at studies so she helped me a lot on that matter also.

School ended. We went to the college but not in the same college. But we often met , went out.After our final exam one fine morning she called me up and told her parents found a match for her. I was jumped in joy.After fifteen days I got a invitatin card for har wedding.But unfortunetly I couldn't attein her wedding because I had to go out of the city for some important work.After coming home I called her .She was very happy. I heard her husband was an engineer and he had a very good family background. That day I was realy happy.

Three years passed. I got a job and was extremly busy almost forgot my friend.One day I went to her locality for some work. It was quiet a far from my house. I thought i should meet Manasi's parents. I went to her house. Her mom opened the door. She was glad to see me after a long time. Her father treat me as if I am his own daughter.When I asked them about Manasi they told she is not well and gave me a phone number. It was Manasi's own Number. I called her . Her voice became very feeble and sobbing.I came to know her husband lied . He was not an engineer . He abused her everyday infront of his family and friends and demanded money from her father.Her in-laws also abused her.Her husband told her he married Manasi just because she is the only daughter from a well- to-do family and could get money whenever he wants She told me she was so depressed that one day she will commit suicide. I was shocked.I just lost my words.

After six months I heard Manasi came back to her parents and filed a divorce. But her husband didn't want to leave her. He refused to give her any kind of compansation.But after a huge legal fight Manasi got divorce. Now she is a teacher but doesn't want to get into any kind of relationship again.She has lost her faith.

Now my friends what do call this incident simply BAD LUCK? or something else. What do you call those people are they HUMAN BEING?
