At the beginning of the chapter, I saw the teaching of Jiro Ono: Once you have decided on a career, you must devote yourself to your work, you must love your work, do not have complaints, you must exhaust your life to hone your skills, this is the secret of success, and it is also a way to let others The key to respect.
The seemingly simple sushi actually starts with wringing a towel, and learning to fry eggs after ten years of study. In order to make the meat soft and taste good, the octopus needs to be massaged for 30 to 40 minutes, and the fish is the best. The two sons of Jiro Ono, who kept repeating the same thing to keep improving
, recalled that when they were young, the family spent half a year of pocket money to buy a bottle of Coke. Ono goes out to work at five o'clock every day and comes home at ten o'clock. One day, his son saw him sleeping at home and said that a stranger came to sleep at his mother's house. Father and son didn't see each other for long when they were young.
The youngest son talked about opening his own restaurant, "When I opened this restaurant, my dad said that you are now homeless, and he said that Roppongi is my final destination, and I must not fail." Ono said: "Opening a restaurant must have My own ability, I want him to leave and open the store myself, because I know he can do it, if he is not ready, I will not ask him to go, I think he is ready, I will push him out, but I Tell him "there's no turning back, you have to make your own way", that's how I was nine years old when I left home in first grade, I was told you're homeless, so you have to work hard and I know everything I have to rely on myself, I don't want to be a homeless person on the street, to survive, I have to work, I have never forgotten that, even if the boss beats and kicks, I still work. Now parents will tell their children to come back if they can't Well, if the parents say such stupid things, the child will achieve nothing." The
Japanese strive for excellence, the Germans are meticulous and rigorous, the Americans are not afraid of the sky, the Chinese are hard-working and tenacious, the French people love life, and the British gentlemen are conservative. , Russians are rough and brave,,,, people don't have to work as hard as Ono all their lives, just do a good job to satisfy their own pursuits, work is mainly for making money, and then there is a meaningful thing to do, not so much If you don’t contact people every day, you can only eat, drink and have fun, and you can live a better life and be happy. That’s the meaning of life.
