Recently I was watching MasterChef Australia and Matt, one of the judges tasted dish of a contestant. Matt instantly shot a question to the contestant “Are you a romantic person?”. His question sure took the contestant by surprise. In my mind I was thinking “What kind of question is this? And how is it anyway related to cooking?” Contestant still in half shock replied “Yes”. Matt immediately responded “No, you are not”.
He further explained his stance that the dish was nice but there was something missing in that dish. It was the romance in the flavor and in the presentation. I was zapped in total amazement that someone can really observe a person’s character by just looking and tasting a dish.
This incident gave me a good learning. We sometimes put so much effort to be technically right that we forget to bring together the real essence – “The Romance” seems to be just missing. Be it work or personal life, we always have a choice to choose between the one which looks right on paper where all the check boxes are ticked and the one which is beyond the reach of logic and which is purely magical. More often than not, most end up choosing the “logically sound” option.
Magic begins where Logic ends. Who cares what the world feels about my creation as long as I bring forth the magic of romance in everything I do. Worth a thought may be?
Cheers to the romance.
