I'm sitting here in my restaurant looking around at the hours worth of labour intensive work ahead of me and think "Why do I do this to myself?". I'm looking at 16 hour days, 7 days a week an d smelling like smoked pork when all is said and done. *Yes, dogs do follow me home. Now, if i stayed in university (yup. I'm a drop out too... real winner here) I might be looking at 8 hour days, maybe 5 days a week, probably 7 months a year, and definitely $250k annual pay. So why?
Well, I'll tell you. Money and titles aren't everything. I'm glad I was young when I discovered this secret to life which conflicts with 99% of the world's view on "making it". My personality urns for the adrenaline rush of 30 second deadlines, creating masterpieces to be proud to put my name on, the comradeship off training a team and becoming closer than family. Would I be able to achieve this by staring into a microscope through my Gucci glasses while my 2 karat earrings stretch my earlobes attached to my overblown egotistical pretentious head? Nope. I'd probably be buying thing I don't want/need to impress people I don't like so we could have dinner parties and eat food I hate and talk about shit i don't care about. If i didn't discover this "secret" I wouldn't be what I am today. What am I? I'm me. I've found my happiness in life by becoming a chef and discovering a world in which I wasn't molded to be living in. But its a world I belong in. I know I have a lot of followers, friends, and subscribers that are under the age of 20, I really hope this post will help you discover your secret to life. Be who you are.
