Inspirational Article about Deaf person's passion for Cooking

I read about Deaf Malaysia Chef and his succession to became one of Best Chefs. I am very inspired by this article and am very glad to know other Deaf Chef who is very brave to "walk the talk". I understood perfectly about Deaf Chef's struggles in Culinary Arts Field and many discouragements from his family and others. I understood perfectly that he conquered many issues in the kitchen: communication issues to work out well with other cooks and learning something new about cooking like this Deaf Chef was learning about Western food and mastered them. Yes, worst part is job-hunting that many prospective employers are not convinced that Deaf Chef have good skills in cooking--possible better than hearing Chefs. I had been gone through many places until I found one decent job for me and blew them away with my skills. One loss is their problem but other who hired me, gained one best. Any discouragements are not going to prevent me from going to be successful Chef just like this Deaf Guy. I learned about The passion for Cooking is a key including, good fundamental knowledge of cooking, learning from mistakes and never giving up on what you love to do.

To succeed as a chef, Chef Chua Tick Sengua says, “A deaf person needs to have a good foundation in cooking skills, and perseverance, commitment, motivation and a passion for cooking.

“It also helps when you have parents and friends who are open and supportive of your dreams. I have never allowed deafness to stop me from achieving my dreams. Deep down, I always knew I could do it.”

Big Thumb up! I had been told that I can do it, no matter what they (Chefs) think of me.
