Professionalism

If you only come here to see the food, you may feel a little monotonous. The sushi of the same color can't be seen or touched. It doesn't have such a strong color, but only a dull white. Erlang, who can really be called the god of sushi, he has talent and the spirit of "professional". What is a professional? Excellence, perseverance, and tradition. Only talent and professional spirit can confer a god.

In my opinion, the spirit of the craftsman is a manifestation of self-discipline. The craftsmen focus on their own craftsmanship. They have perfect skills, but they are still demanding of themselves, strict with themselves, and respect for their profession. What they are looking for is the unseen peak, and they are always thinking of surpassing themselves. Decades of indulging in a job, just having passion, can not surpass oneself, only self-discipline can make people leap to the top.

Use up your whole life, invest in one thing you like, and reach the highest peak.

Jiro Dreams of Sushi quotes

  • Shrimp Dealer: These days the first thing people want is an easy job. Then, they want lots of free time. And then, they want lots of money. But they aren't thinking of building their skills. When you work at a place like Jiro's, you are committing to a trade for life.

  • Jiro Ono: When I was in school... I was a bad kid. Later, when I was invited to give a talk at the school, I wasn't sure if I should tell the kids that they should study hard... or that it is okay to be a rebel. I wasn't sure what advice to give the kids. Studying hard doesn't guarantee you will become a respectable person. Even if you're a bad kid... there are people like me who change. I thought that would be a good lesson to teach. But if I said that bad kids can succeed later on like I did... all the kids would start misbehaving which would be a problem. Always doing what you are told doesn't mean you'll succeed in life.
