My last post was a request for readers to send in questions. I’m not sure whether she read the plea or not but I got an email this morning from Linds (the woman who is responsible for this blog even existing) asking whether I would be interested in speaking with a young man who has expressed an interest in being a Chef.
Naturally I responded by saying that I would absolutely love to. She then responded by forwarding me his name, email and phone number. I plan on giving him a call when I get back from work on Monday.
I am more than happy to help anyone who is thinking of becoming a Chef or for that matter that needs any help. It’s who I am and who I always have been. It is a beautiful thing to be able to repay the assistance that I have been given in my endeavours. Paying it forward if you will.
Douglas MacArthur once said; “Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up interest wrinkles the soul. You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt; as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear; as young as your hope as old as your despair. In the central place of every heart there is a recording chamber. So long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer and courage, so long are you young. When your heart is covered with the snows of pessimism and the ice of cynicism, then, and then only, are you grown old. And then, indeed as the ballad says, you just fade away.”
I look forward to speaking with his young man and giving him the most prudent and candid advice I can. I will update you after our conversation.
Have a great weekend. Do something that scares you. It will make you a better person for it.
A la prochaine
