One day they saw you asking for a job. The next day, you were washing dishes. Months later, you were already cooking. And over the years, after much sacrifice, they saw you managing a kitchen. Then the whispers began:
—"Surely they are the owner's favorite"
—"Suddenly they are there because they are a gossip..."
More time passes, and now they see you at the front of your own restaurant. And those who don't know you say:
—"What luck they have, while we have to work hard to have something like that..."
But no one sees what was behind: the sleepless nights, the endless shifts, the times you thought about quitting, the times you fell and got back up.
That's why, never envy or murmur about what someone else has achieved. You don’t know what they had to sacrifice to get there.
