Hell's Kitchen Season 3

12 aspiring young chefs are put to a very tough and challenging test in this reality competition working under world famous and renowned chef Gordon Ramsay. Each chef came to participate in this competition hoping to win the grand prize of having their own restaurant in L.A and the huge sum of money. But they soon realise that in order to win the grand prize, they must go through hell first, as Chef Ramsay demands quality and expects very high standards from the chefs. After all Hell's Kitchen is well known to serve high quality fine dining to the patrons. The demands are very high from the patrons as well as they will complain with any slight fall in their expectations from the food cooked by the chefs.

Most importantly, you will also get to see what makes a great team work and learnt how to work together as a team with different personalities and working styles among the members. If you follow each episode, you will actually watch how each chef grows under Chef Ramsay's guidance even though Chef Ramsay is very fierce most of the time.

In the first episode, the ladies team told each other that they must cooperate and win the next day's competition and kick all the men in the men's team out of the competition. They promised not to back stab each other and work together. Yet, during the next day's competition, nobody in the ladies team were communicating with each other. They just focused on the workstation that they were in charge of. Because of this lack of communication, appetizers were not being served for some time and when Chef Ramsay asked if everything OK, everybody replied OK. When Chef Ramsay got angry when no appetizers of good quality were being served, then the ladies started to panic and started to communicate with each other. Even when they communicated, they were actually quarrelling with each other and defending themselves. Some refused to accept help from others and kept thinking that they are good and didn't want to look bad in front of Chef Ramsay.

In Challenging Times, Service Matters Most! by Ron Kaufman

As the wind of economic cycles blows hard, some businesses try to contain costs by cutting corners on customer service. This is exactly the wrong thing to do, because service matters now more than ever. Here's why:


When people buy during an economic downturn, they are extremely conscious of the hard-earned money that they spend. Customers want more attention, more appreciation and more recognition when making their purchases with you, not less.


Customers want to be sure they get maximum value for the money they spend. They want assistance, education, training, installation, modifications and support. The basic product may remain the same, but they want more service.


Customers want firmer guarantees that their purchase was the right thing to do. In good times, a single bad purchase can be quickly overlooked or forgotten, but in tough times, every expenditure is scrutinized. Provide the assurance your customers seek with generous service guarantees, regular follow-up and speedy follow-through on all queries and complaints.


In difficult economic times, people spend less time traveling and wining and dining, and more time carefully shopping for each and every purchase. Giving great service enhances the customers shopping experience and boosts your own companys image.When times are good, people move fast and sometimes dont notice your efforts. In tougher times, people move more cautiously and notice every extra effort you make.


When money is tight, many people experience a sense of lower self-esteem. When they get good service from your business, it boosts their self-image. And when they feel good about themselves, they feel good about you. And when they feel good about you, they buy.


In tough times, people talk more with each other about saving money and getting good value. Positive word-of-mouth is a powerful force at any time. In difficult times, even more ears will be listening. Be sure the words spoken about your business are good ones!

Start and Succeed with Optimism by Robert H. Schuller

To live God's dream for your life, you must have an optimistic attitude. Pessimists are afraid of tomorrow. Optimists never throw away tomorrow. You will need both positive thinking and possibility thinking to achieve fulfillment.

"Why," I'm often asked, "do I seem to alternate between positive thinking and possibility thinking? Is there a difference?" In my faith and my philosophy there is a difference.

It is the difference between attitude and action.

"If It's Going to Be, It's Up to Me: The Eight Proven Principles of Possibility Thinking" by Robert H. Schuller

Positive thinking comes first. It is a positive mental attitude that replaces a negative mental attitude or a lethargic mental attitude. Positive thinking sets the stage. Your thinking is conceived, but at this point it is still only wishful thinking. To go forward your mind must evolve from positive thinking into possibility thinking.

In possibility thinking, the mental maneuvering moves from attitude ideas to action ideas. We make a commitment to create ways and means to make the dream come true in reality.

Positive thinking asks the question, "Is is possible?" Possibility thinking asks the "get ready to get going" question, "How can I make it happen?"

Possibility thinking puts wings and legs on positive ideas.

"If It's Going to Be, It's Up to Me: The Eight Proven Principles of Possibility Thinking" by Robert H. Schuller

But at the heart and soul of both positive and possibility thinking is the same powerful optimism. Optimism is the all-empowering attitude that unfailingly delivers the energy to:

Start

Stay with it, or

Bounce back and start over again after disappointments.

Einstein's Formula for Success by Ron White

Albert Einstein had a formula for success. Can you believe that? One of the greatest minds of all time developed a math formula for success! I suggest you read this carefully -- this may be the most important math equation that you will ever see.

Einstein said, 'If A equals success, then the formula is: A=X+Y+Z.

X is work. Y is play. Z is keep your mouth shut."

Einstein no doubt had an excellent sense of humor. Let's look at the 3 variables in this equation.

They are:

1. Work
2. Play
3. Keeping your mouth shut!


1. Work: Albert Einstein had a tremendous work ethic and because of that gave more to society and modern science than any person in recent times

2. Play: Einstein, however, did not work 24 hours a day and made time for fun and relaxation. His idea of fun may have been different than yours, but that doesn't mean it still wasn't play.

3. Keeping your mouth shut: Finally, my favorite part of his success formal is to keep your mouth shut. I genuinely believe that the person who talks the least says the most. A friend of mine complains that the woman he is dating talks too much. I don't know how to break the news to him; however, the problem is not that she talks too much. It simply is the fact that he is irritated that he isn't able to talk. Now, let me just say this is not a generic man and woman statement. I am speaking about a specific person that I know. His desire is to constantly talk and because he likes to talk so much, he will talk in circles. If you let him talk long enough he will repeat the same thing three times and then contradict himself. His desire is not to hear but to be heard.

Albert Einstein, on the other hand had nothing to prove. He felt no need to be the "Chatty Cathy" he could have been with his knowledge. It wasn't important to him to talk to everyone he met and talk over their heads to demonstrate his IQ. Instead, he learned the value of quietness and solitude.

Shift your mind set from being a talker to a listener. It has been said that you can make more friends in 5 minutes by becoming interested in others than you can make in 5 years of trying to get others interested in you! How do you become interested in others? You ask questions and then keep your mouth shut!
