Hello! This is Orsel Saito.
Today is
-The story of how the product review rate for the shop I ran last month was 7%.
・The reason why the review was rated 4 was because of the udon noodles that were served as a bonus.
・Complaining that even if you do something kindly and intentionally, it can sometimes be taken the wrong way.
I was planning to write about these things, but I came across a wonderful book so I would like to introduce it to you.
The book is called "Third-Rate Chef."
This book was written by Kiyomi Mikuni, a master of French cuisine, and was released at the end of last year.
The day before yesterday, there was a special feature on TV about Miki and his book.
"There are people like this?"
I was so impressed that I immediately bought the book on Amazon.
Last night, when I got home from the gym at 10:30pm, the book had already arrived, so even though I was exhausted from being pushed around by my trainer, I started reading a little bit.
It was so interesting that I ended up reading it all the way to the end in one go.
Miki is currently 67 years old.
It tells the true story of how a boy from rural Hokkaido, who grew up so poor that he barely had time to go to school, only managed to drop out of junior high school, and how he went on to become a world-renowned chef.

・Being able to overcome seemingly impossible obstacles with conviction and passion
・If you cheerfully take on the things that others don't like, a new path will open up.
・The meaning and effect of unbeatable effort
You can't succeed unless you read a lot of books
(Although Mikuni only had a junior high school education and was not very good at studying, he was impressed by Konosuke Matsushita's "Open the Way.")
Communication skills must be thoroughly polished
・Strategic marketing is important for business
・Management that suits the modern era is necessary, rather than the old-fashioned style of learning by doing. ・You shouldn't go against the times.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can learn so much exciting things, such as the principles of success, how to live and work, management and marketing, etc.
I particularly love the scene where, after being denied employment at the Imperial Hotel because he only has a junior high school diploma, he is suddenly selected as a chef at the Japanese Embassy in Geneva, even though he has never even eaten authentic French cuisine.
This is an exemplary story that shows how the cycle of intuition → action → reflection leads to success.
The only downside is that it makes you hungry while reading, but I thought it would be a good book to read in the New Year, so I'd like to introduce it to you.
