Tara, I think there is no difference between a kid who wants to be a chef and an adult who wants too. We should do what we think we made for and it doesn't matter when we wana achieve our goals. Trying is the most important point I think...
Strictness makes a person cold, no matter if he/she is right. Totally agree with your quote, the key is softening it.
Btw, we have the Spanish version of Chef Ramsay (maybe a copy) and he acts similar to him although, don't know why but he has charisma.
Interesting, Behrad. It's funny because Chef Ramsay also has a show for kid chefs, and he's much nicer to them (uses softened honesty). My kids always ask why he's nicer to the kids than he is to the adults. This is a great topic for discussion. Not everyone will agree with me that it's important to be both kind and honest. :)
I don't want to judge about him but his last behavior was... was not good...
Actually I saw a movie about being brutally honest, "Whiplash", the the main star( J.K Simmons, who won the Oscar prize for his wonderful performance) is a brutal honest! He is a music teacher and we can see how one of his students tries to show him that how much he is talented in jazz... Here is one of the teacher's ideas:
