When I was 12, I remember catching a glimpse of an awards show on television, and lo' and behold there came Mr. Rogers to accept an award. We witnessed a rare moment in history that night when celebrities showed a degree of humility. Given that award shows haven't ever appealed to me (except the time when Return of the King won 11 Academy Awards... :)... here is the excerpt from what Mr. Rogers said there:
"All of us have special ones who have loved us into being. Would you just take, along with me, ten seconds to think of the people who have helped you become who you are. Ten seconds of silence."
