Jiro Dreams of Sushi

I think Professor Leeper will appreciate this post considering how much he loves Japanese culture and film.

About a week ago I watched Jiro Dream’s of Sushi and ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!!!!! It is probably one of my top 5 favorite documentaries. It documents the life of Jiro an amazing way, and it contains amazing picture and an amazing message. That message being, and I quote.

“Once you decide on your occupation you must immerse yourself in your work. You have to fall in love with your work. Never complain about your job. You must dedicate your life to mastering your skill.”

I love this because I find it to be so true today, because to many people complain about their job. I mean you have the choice to do what ever you want to do and yet decide to do job’s that they hate. Another line in this movie that got to me and kind of explains this is something one of the shrimp dealers said.

“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.”

I highly recommend that everyone watches this.
