Working in a kitchen is a tough environment, with long hours, high temperatures, and intense pressure. It needs a lot of skill, focus, and discipline to be successful.

Those who are able to do this effectively establish a strong sense of character and durability. This quote is a testimony to the self-control that is established in the cooking area, and the effort and commitment it requires effective in this environment.
