I was impressed with the 13 year old chef. He was running the restaurant, He was giving orders to the other chefs on what to cook and every thing. He is not just an ordinary chef but of very popular or high class restaurants in the US. So i don't know where got his talent except it is a gift from God. He started to cook at age 10 because he hates the food her mom cooks. so since his first time he cooked he was hooked. He even turned his own room into some kind of extension of kitchen and his other parts of the house like the restaurant. He made the design on the food also , so it is just like hotel food. He made them all by himself. Wow just wow.

I honestly think that the key to be successful at a very young age is to have a gift. The reason that I say that is because of the fact that most people that are this child's age are still just children. They don't really have their ambition for life fully developed and they haven't had the opportunity to work with their gifts. But, if a child has a good support system and they really do know what they want to do, they can be successful from an early age.

I am impressed with him too... I think some people have talent since they was born and even though without much helping from the others, they are successful when they was still a kid.

Yep its inspiring when someone achieves success at a very less age,its a blend of talent and effort both.Gaining a level of maturity at such a young age and chasing your dream is really appreciating.

I'm a soon-to-be senior in highschool, I can understand his motivation. It's nice to see such young, successful people aiming to be someone astounding, while other teens sit around and do obnoxious things, wasting their life away.

Hi hotsummer, I agree that is very impressive and it's good to see this sort of thing. We are all born with certain talents, some people discover them early, others not at all. Blessings.

Skillful yes, but successful, I don't know. If you mean successful in terms of owning a business at such a young age and cook like a high class chef then maybe. I have a different meaning for success so I guess this kid has still have got a lot to do to reach the success of my standards...like the ability to leave his business for quite a long time and let the business run it's own course while he takes a vacation somewhere he can get some fresh air. But yeah, I am impressed by this ability that the kids has. I sure can't cook. But I can destroy the whole kitchen, instead.

Aren't child prodigies interesting? It makes you wonder if talent is truly learned or if it's a gift. I do believe for some it's a gift from God...Or I've even heard people talk about it being a gift and/or talent from a past life that the child just happened to take over to this life. Very interesting if you ask me!

Every one can find success in their life when the person commits or dedicates himself to the destination. If you have such commitment to your dreams you can also find the success in you life.

Wow this is interesting. 13 years old chef doing the job in the restaurant. Maybe he was just like the people say born with this talent. This is really good for him because one day she will do the thing that he love to do and also she will be good at it!

Wow it is really great. Few people are gifted with some talent in young age. Many others can do it at a particular age of growth. But only few are taking it out. Many are just leaving it and never trying to find what is inner in them. This boy is great.
