Some Thoughts... Inspired by "Bambino"

Hoho.. Inspired by this Japanese Drama, Bambino, I'd like to share sumthin' with you from the drama.. morale of the story .. I can say.. ^^

Hm, This drama is about a guy, Ban Shogo which later on called 'bambi', who is good at cooking Italian dishes and when he did his internship on Baccanale Italian restaurant, he felt that his dignity was flattened since everyone there was a pro and what he did was actually not cooking, but helping with stuffs, just like a slave. However, from what I can see, he learned a lot during his times there, like efficiency of work.. thou his partner, Katori, yelled at him all the time to prepare the ingredients for the dishes.

After the internship period was over, he went home, and had good times with his girlfriend.. until that night when he told his girlfriend that he wanted to go back to Tokyo with her and work for Baccanale.. quitting his college.. coz he has fallen in love with that restaurant.. His girlfriend refused to come along with him, she told him that she had her own life and more over she thought that Ban was too egoist coz he thought about himself, about reaching his own dreams without even considering her future..

In the end, Ban decided to let go everything in his hometown (broke up with his girlfriend and quitting college...) and go to Tokyo for Baccanale obsession... There, the shocking thing was, he had to work in Dining Hall as a servant ... This shocked him so much since his dream is to be a chef.. to cook and prepare dishes.. not to be a servant... And he started to grumble....

Yosh... Morale of the drama are... (so far.. coz the drama is still airing :P)

1. In working life, we can't expect to have a good and nice working environment... It's not about how good the working environment is.. it's about how we adapt with the current environment.. (it's hard thou..) Our working environment is our battle ground.. You'll have to get used to your surrounding before you can tackle the jobs aka enemies 'perfectly' and efficiently... (yeah.. nobody's perfect thou.. well it's not about perfectness, but about how to be a better person each day..)

2. Everything is done step by step.. like for example.. you can't expect to be a CEO directly when you graduate later .. It also applies to 'bambi'.. he can't expect to be a good chef without to be a servant first... Quotation from the drama (rephrased) "if you want to be a good chef, you have to first understand how the customers feel about the foods.." Sometimes you need to go thru' the worst.. before reaching for the best..

3. Focus on what you are doing right now.. Treasure what you have right now.. For working matters, just simply... love your current job.. coz, every job has its own pro and cons anyway... has its own struggle also... and still, everybody is working hard... "One who can't focus on what he is doing right now, doesn't have right to pursue his dream.." hohoho...

4. Always learn from every little mistake we made.. Let it be our own good teacher.. for a better tomorrow... Try to cope with an inevitable bad feeling.. and inability to forgive yourself.. (at least you try..) coz everybody makes mistakes too, so don't give up on what you are doing.. keep on trying.. :)
(well, somehow it's not as easy as I thot...)

Yeah.. just some thotz.. hehe..
