Jiro is an incredibly candid man. Some of his friends joke that he’s not Japanese because he is so open and honest in his speech. And we are fortunate that this is true, because he’s an extraordinary man with a lot of wisdom to impart. His way of life applies to everything. As Jiro says in the film, “You have to love what you do, you have to fall in love with your work.” I think that sentiment is inspiring no matter what your job is.
Brief, but wonderful, interview with David Gelb, director of the charming, inspired, and inspiring documentary Jiro Dreams of Sushi, now in select theaters. Trailer below, for your mouthwatering enjoyment.
