The Pizza Hut Story by Tim Sanders

Tim Sanders has a lot of great stories. This is one of them.

"You will accomplish more in the next two months, developing a sincere interest in two people, than you will accomplish in the next two years, trying to get two people interested in you." - Michael Rollins, CEO of Pizza Hut

Phil posted an absolutely hilarious video from back when PBS was one of the only 5 channels we could get on television. You'll love it!

Descending Into Greatness

We are attempting to start a book reading club at our office and the first book on our list was Descending Into Greatness by Bill Hybels. Bill is known for his success at the Willow Creek Community Church in South Barrington, Illinois and even though this book was published back in the early 90's it was still very applicable.

Hybels uses the beginning of Philippians 2 as the foundation of his book. If you read that passage it pretty much sums up the book. However, the book expands by giving some anecdotal examples of how a person must intentionally take a downward path in order to rise to success. Hybels also doesn't sugarcoat it by saying it will be easy.

I didn't find the book awe inspiring like some might, but it was a good reminder of the importance of letting go of your own self interests and provide for others. My favorite part was the comparison he made between Jesus and Herod.

Have you read it? What did you think?

Rabbi Daniel Lapin

This morning for our devotional at Lampo, we had the privilege of hearing Rabbi Daniel Lapin speak. He delivered a very good message on how we look at money. He discussed how money can be seen as a spiritual thing as opposed to a physical thing. I don't really want to get into all of the details that he discussed because you can get the gist of it from his book Thou Shall Prosper.

Rabbi Lapin will also be a guest on The Dave Ramsey Show later today. You can catch the show live online between 2-5pm EST.

If you want to learn more about Rabbi Lapin you can visit his Web site Lifecodex.

Daniel Lapin (born c. 1950) is a political commentator and American Orthodox rabbi living on Mercer Island, Washington, and the founder of Toward Tradition (a conservative Jewish-Christian organization). He also once headed the Pacific Jewish Center in Venice, Los Angeles, California,(as well as the Commonwealth Loan Company and the Cascadia Business Institute). Lapin is co-chair of the conservative American Alliance of Jews and Christians.... (More from Wikipedia)

A Pet Peeving Poll: Presidential Candidates

I'm just curious to see where Pet Peeving readers stand on the Presidential race.

Who do you see?

So, from where you are sitting right now you can look at this picture and clearly see Albert Einstein, right? Now back up from your screen about 15 feet, or simply cross your eyes a little and tell me who you see.

I saw this for the first time this morning and thought it was neat. I'm not sure where it originated. Hope you enjoy. Oh, in case your cube doesn't have 15 feet to spare, the answer is Marilyn Monroe.

Scooter Season is Open

Ah...the weather, isn't it great? It's a great way to welcome in Scooter Season. With few exceptions, I should be able to hop on my little Yamaha Vino 125 and scoot back and forth to work and back. During my evening commute this summer, it may get a little hot, but at 80 miles a gallon with gas prices soaring, I can handle it.

I just wanted to remind all of you who do not have the pleasure of scootering to check your blind spots when changing lanes because I might be passing you.
