4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.
5. Name t he last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and>actress.
6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.

Achievements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.>>>>>>>Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one:

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 andspecial.
5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with
