"You can’t just do what’s easy or comfortable for you. Life is like baking, that way - there are no shortcuts. You have to start at
the bottom layer, put in the hours and understand every part of the business, and work your way up. If you skip steps, you’ll also miss chances to learn and grow." - Chef Rebecca Disini
