Blogging
The first blog I read was called ‘Be cool to the pizza delivery dude’ by Sarah Adams. Sarah Adams believes that you should be cool to the pizza delivery dude. She has four principles that she follows. They are “Coolness to the pizza delivery dude is a practice in humility and forgiveness, coolness to the pizza delivery dude is a practice in empathy, coolness to the pizza delivery dude is a practice in honor and it reminds me to honor honest work, and coolness to the pizza delivery dude is a practice in equality.” By following these principles, she helps herself learn to respect others and gets a lot out of it. I agree with her and feel that if you want to find a respectable person, you need to see how they treat the people who are beneath them. The second blog was called ‘Creating your own happiness’ by Wayne Coyne. Wayne Coyne believes that you should create your own happiness. He starts the blog with a story in which he notices two people in the freezing cold at a bus stop and he felt really bad for them because they were wearing torn coats and they must have been freezing. But then he noticed their faces and they looked like the happiest couple alive. It looked like they were having a laugh at a good joke. Wayne said after, he sow the couple really happy, “You know how a single moment can feel like an hour? Well, in that moment, I realized I had assumed this couple needed my pity, but they didn’t. I assumed things were all bad for them, but they weren’t and I understood we all have the power to make moments of happiness happen.” This shows that true happiness comes from within and it does not depend on material objects.
