Just read straight through, and you’ll get the point, an awesome one. …..

Take this quiz:
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 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. Pass this on to those people who have made a difference in your life.

Arthur Ashe, the legendary Wimbledon player was dying of AIDS which he got due to infected blood he received during a heart surgery in 1983. From world over, he received letters from his fans, one of which conveyed: “Why does GOD have to select you for such a bad disease”?

To this Arthur Ashe replied: The world over — 5 million children start playing tennis, 50 thousand learn to play tennis, 5 thousand learn professional tennis, 50,000 come to the circuit, 5000 reach the grand slam, 50 reach Wimbledon, 4 to semi final, 2 to the finals, When I was holding a cup I never asked GOD “Why me?”. And today in pain I should not be asking GOD “Why me?”

Smilies do add a lot of fun in forums postings. Lot of smilies has been created ever after it was first used. But we only get a few of them when we first install PhpBB forums. Here is the process that will help you to install a lot of smilies in your forums.

• Download the smiley pack that you have selected and decompress it.
• Put all the smilies that you have just downloaded at this location on your server /phpBB2/images/smiles/. Also if there is a file with .pak extension include it in the directory with your new smilies.
• Once you are done with this, move to your forums administrator panel and click on Smilies under General Admin. Here you will surely see original smilies with their codes.
• Its very important that you save the base configuration in a .pak file, so that even if something goes wrong you can revert back to base configuration. For this you need to click on “Create Smiley Pack” and then download it when PhpBB offers you a choice.
• Now go back to the smiley administrative panel and click on “Import Smiley Pack”.
• Now choose the .pak file that you want to install, check the option that will erase older smilies (remember you have already save the base configuration). And in case of conflict also click on the option that will replace existing smilies.
• Finish by clicking on Import Smilies. That’s it you are done.

Above process is useful when you want to install a whole new pack of smilies, but what if you only want to add one or two new smilies. PhpBB give you an option for this also.

• Add the image that you want to be used as smiley in your server at /phpBB2/images/smiles/.
• Go to Smilies Administrative Panel and click on “Add a New Smiley” button.
• Choose the image that you have added in your server for the second field, you will see a preview of the same there.
• For the first field enter the code that you want to use for that smiley.
• And in the third field enter the emotion that the smiley represents. And then Click on Submit.
• Repeat this steps for all the smilies that you want to add.
