"Be Cool to the Pizza Delivery Dude" Of eighty spiritual, philosophical, intellectual and unconventional statements of belief, this is the chapter that was most memorable to me. Certainly the title is memorable, but more than creating just a catchy title, Sarah Adams (in less than 500 words) explains why humility, forgiveness, empathy, honor and equality are a big part of her belief system. Humility, Forgiveness, Empathy, Honor and Equality - these virtues seem in very short supply today. Perhaps we could encourage Sarah Adams to run for President on a platform of Basic Human Decency.
   Â
This I Believe is a selection of five-minute CBS and NPR radio readings from the early 50s and the early 2000s. It includes a variety of essays from well-known people like Helen Keller and Gloria Steinem to essays by average citizens from diverse walks of life. This I Believe was initially hosted by Edward R. Murrow and was broadcast locally in Philadelphia. The readings soon became so popular the program was expanded nationwide on CBS and eventually worldwide on The Voice of America. A two-volume book of the readings was published in 1952 and was a top-10 best seller for three years. However, in spite of enormous popularity, the last radio program was broadcast in 1955 because of a lack of financial backing.
 Â
Dan Gediman, a producer for radio, happened upon the original book of the broadcasts on his wife's bookshelf in 2003 and decided to try to revive the broadcasts. With the help of Jay Allison, an independent broadcast journalist, the program was re-introduced on NPR (National Public Radio) utilizing old and new essays. The program's website has an archive of these wonderful essays:

Always be cool to the pizza delivery dude! You've got my vote Sarah Adams!
