When I first decided to open a restaurant, I was turned down by several banks. It was the late 80's and many restaurants were failing. I refused to give up because I knew I had a good concept. ↗
You know, for 300 years it's been kind of the same. There are restaurants in New Orleans that the menu hasn't changed in 125 years, so how is one going to change or evolve the food? ↗
I'm an immigrant kid who came to America from India when I was very young and grew up in New York City with a single mom and really was influenced by all of those immigrant cultures bumping up against each other. ↗
I have always had this view about the modern education system: we pay attention to brain development, but the development of warmheartedness we take for granted. ↗
I have not been that wise. Health I have taken for granted. Love I have demanded, perhaps too much and too often. As for money, I have only realized its true worth when I didn't have it. ↗
I also take it as granted that every created thing, and consequently the created monad also, is subject to change, and indeed that this change is continual in each one. ↗
