Charles Schultz Philosophy

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 headliners of yesterday.

They are not 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.

 

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 who care.

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

101 reasons to be proud of Peru

This book is dedicated to all those who have

inspired us and given us their reasons for

feeling proud of this magnificent country.

Also to all members of the team that has worked so hard to make

"101 reasons to be proud of Peru"

a reality.

I came to Peru eighteen years ago, in 1990. My first visit lasted some four months and I travelled about the country. I got to know a different reality to my own, I changed my view of things and of life, and learned that in spite of all the difficulties, how valuable it is to live and share friendship.

In 2001 personal circumstances brought me back to Peru and what started as a short stay became permanent. I knew then that Peru is a land of opportunities, of projects to start, tasks to complete and dreams to fulfill.

It is also one of the world’s most prodigious countries, full of natural wonders. It has every climate type you can imagine, a variety of cultures and an extraordinary history.

That is why we created LivinginPeru.com  to tell the world about the treasures of this country which extends far beyond Machu Picchu, even though that is its best-known attraction. 

We want our website to give basic information and to serve as a directory for foreigners who are visiting the country on business or pleasure.

  
Since LivinginPeru.com’s official launch in 2005 it has grown and now has sections on travel, news, cinema, theater and business. The site receives more than 130,000 visitors a month and has 22,000 subscribers, most of them Peruvian.

HOST BILL STUBBS

William Stubbs, named "one of the world’s top one hundred interior designers" by Architectural Digest, is much more than a creator of luxury for the rich. This playful and intelligent host of A MOMENT OF LUXURY is adventurous, endlessly curious, practical, artistic, insightful, and yes, dedicated to spreading the secrets of luxury. Bill's incredible career includes writing two books, designing penthouses and mansions all over the world, lecturing on his design and telling the many stories of his fun filled adventures that color his professional life.

MODERN MEETS INCAN

Introduction

Lima, Peru − Bill visits Lima’s magnificent historic sites and discovers the lasting influence of the Incas on modern day Peru. Peruvian contemporary artisans and designers honor their Incan and pre-Columbian roots in creating some of the world’s most fascinating art, textiles, jewelry, modern architecture and food.

Palacio de Gobierno:  The Governor’s Palace, has rooms that offer a mélange of styles ranging from Spanish colonial to French baroque, this diversity is due to an accidental fire that destroyed part of it but gave the chance to merge contemporary ideas with antique ones. There is no shortage of opulence especially in the Golden Living Room which gives a sense of order and expansion because of the mirrors. For decoration, design has been more important than function. Stubbs uses the dining room chairs to give some designing hints, as to use vinyl or leather for the seats and reserve the nice fabric for the chair back.

He was joined by the Minister of Trade and Tourism who explained him how Peru’s past is shaping its future.

Larco Museum: The curator of Collections has information of the cultures that developed in ancient Peru and achieved the highest levels in working gold, silver and other metals.  From the magnificent objects that ancient cultures left us to admire we know that they were really master artisans that working only with their hands created masterpieces.

Jewelry Aldo & Co.: Everything starts in the research of history and they translate it into a jewelry piece. Most of the pieces there are 18 karat gold. The Tumi is a ceremonial knife that was used for medical procedures like surgeries. Everything in the store is handmade and is done by skilled handcrafters.

Indigo Arte y Artesania : This shop has the colors and textures of Peru. They have pillows done with vegetable dyes which offer vivid colors and the world famous alpaca that is an ancient material but has been transformed into contemporary designs. Alpaca was called the fiber of God by early Peruvians and while it may be a textile of olds designers have been busy making it new again.

Sandra Plevisani: In 2006 Peru earned the title of gastronomic capital of the America’s. In her presentation Sandra mentions lucuma which is one of our typical fruits that seems to be like a milky pumpkin, she also mentions mango and our Peruvian dessert “Suspiro de Limeña”.

Huaca Pucllana(archeological site) Restaurant : A restaurant that rests in the shadows of our wonderful ruins and whose executive chef Marilu Madueño offers New Peruvian Cuisine, that is, all the dishes are made with Peruvian ingredients but there is a fusion with other cultures and the result is a new style. Bill tastes Causa which is yellow potato that has been cooked, pressed and stuffed with different ingredients and has a magnificent texture. He also tastes Ceviche which is raw fish marinated a few minutes in lime and takes his first sip of our emblematic Pisco Sour
