Years ago I met a gentleman that just opened a sushi restaurant near my job.
He was pleasant and would offer to let me try new types of sushi. ☺️
I asked him how long had he been working on opening the restaurant. He said, "20 years." 😳
Me: shocked look.
Him: Well, I've tried and failed many times over the years to open a successful restaurant. I've poured a lot of time and money into it. Even my parents have given their life savings.
Me: 😳😌
Him: You see Americans will try a couple times and quit but I was taught to keep trying. So 20 years. This is my final shot, maybe, because we're out of money. He laughs and walks off.
Me: Ate my lunch. Thought over what he shared. Paid for every free sushi he tried to give me from there on out. Left there with an eternal life lesson.
