Words from the wise, buddy valastro. No matter what the recipe any Baker can do wonders in the kitchen with some good ingredients and an upbeat attitude. Tom Colicchio. If I'm doing an event. If it's a charity event where it's a walk around event, where I got to put 1000 small plates out in the course of a four hour event, I've got to make sure I can do something that I know I can produce. That's going to be consistent and good all night long.
Colin Powell, there are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work and learning from failure. Thomas Edison, there's no substitute for hard work. Lucille Ball, luck. I don't know anything about luck. I've never banked on it.
And I'm afraid of people who do. Luck to me is something else. Hard work in realizing what opportunity is and what isn't.
