The issue of work-life balance is something he doesn't use at all and probably never thinks about, because he has almost no personal life and he hates idle vacations. He works from 5:00 to 10:00 every day. He also sometimes wakes up in the middle of the night by his incessant thoughts about sushi. How do you feel and evaluate such a person?
"Mad! Mad! Not normal!"
Probably so, but he was happy and peaceful. Maybe it's because the job of cleaning is a combination of his talents (a keen sense of smell and taste) and hobbies, and a mixture of indelible habits and fate (bereaved at a young age, without a family to take care of, he came out to work hard at the age of 10, Because we have to survive.)
Everyone is different, but his life, no matter what others think, he has achieved success. Michelin three-star restaurant, many honors and heavyweight outside affirmation. Although there are hard times, but in the end, at the age of 80, it seems that I have not lived a mediocre and unrecognizable life in this life, and this life has not been in vain.
A sentence that touched me a lot. He said, "Modern young people are looking for jobs that are easy, free time, and high-paying jobs, but they are reluctant to improve their skills." I use this sentence whenever I slack off. remind myself.
In addition, you should do more of the things you love, and discover your talents as soon as possible.
