# Be cool to the pizza dude

Sarah Adams submitted the first listerner contributed essay to the NPR series, *[This I Believe](http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4538138)*. *[Be Cool to the Pizza Dude](http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4651531)* captures a very considered, zen-like appreciation for life, wrapped around the idea that basic human respect and dignity arises from being good, and doing good, to all people.
Thanks Sarah.
