I, too, like the second group better. Realistically speaking, those people are always in the minority and one can call oneself lucky to have crossed their ways as a young person and took the advantageous influence with one. Falling out of the norm and what the books dictate causes a lot of trouble for those who do not bend to the status quo. Which is nothing to complain about, it's just the way it is.

You have a lot of experience on your watch, that is for sure. Now that you know, how the game is played you can turn advantage of your knowledge and fulfill what represents you more. Congratulations for your brave plan to open a restaurant. I think it's going to be an "all in" and a full time work requiring a lot of knowledge about book keeping and finances as well next to cooking :)

Being in service for other people and loving to serve with good food is a passion, as I see it. I rarely meet people who truly love to be a servant. That's a special kind. Unfortunately, no one really wants to serve today. Everyone wants to be served rather. LOL! I guess you know what I mean?

I wish for you that all your idealistic ideas will flow into your plans and be realized. Which food do you want to offer?
