Jiro Dreams of Sushi and the art of perfecting your craft

In my work, electrical, I strive for the same. Some of my co-workers don't seem to care much as our work is soon covered up with sheetrock, but I want my work to be art. I want someone to remove the sheetrock years from now and admire the attention to detail. Or not. I did a job I am proud of and that is all that really matters.
What you do may not be appreciated now, but it will be. Every single thing we uncover during the renovation makes us have renewed respect for the anonymous craftsmen that built the home. 113 years later, everything is still sound and solid as a rock. Beautiful work. And to stand there and think that everything around us was built by hand, with hand tools, from hardwood carried in by horses is just breathtaking.
There was a film some time ago, centering on the food in the Japanese lunch boxes two sisters took to school.... can anyone remember what it was?
That too, centred on the exquisite Japanese craft of food preparation.... How good are the Japanese at creating such films?
Emptiness is the path of life.
Nirvana is never perfect but empty.
And btw, I agree with the comment directly above mine (from Chiong), but also see that in the way you describe Jiro, much can be learned about one's passion in his pursuit to live his purpose.
Thank you,
Leslie
And I am not just saying that as Lobster that likes raw fish . . .
