Extra Anchovies.....

Posted by Staff (mostly Jacob D.)

"If I have one operating philosophy about life, it is this: 'Be cool to the pizza delivery dude; it's good luck.' Four principles guide the pizza dude philosophy.  Principle 1.  Coolness to the pizza delivery dude is an practice in humility and forgiveness.  I let him cut me off in traffic, let him safely hit the exit ramp from the left lane, let him forget to use his blinker without extending any of my digits out the window....His pizza light atop his car glowing like a beacon reminds me to check myself as I flow through the world." An excerpt from Be Cool to the Pizza Dude an essay by Sarah Adams published in This I Believe: The Personal Philosophies of Remarkable Men and Women Edited by Jay Allison and Dan Gediman.
