Master Chef Junior

Graham Elliott, celebrity chef and judge on Fox's Master Chef came to our fair city to promote a very fine regional grocery chain, educate the masses, and sell a few books. The Kid, with a keen interest in food and related culinary tools and techniques was in enthralled attendance.

When picture taking and book signing time came 'round, Chef Elliott was a poster boy for enthusiastic engagement, good humor, and inexhaustable patience. After a bit of harmless badinage, he insisted on a second picture, this one with The Kid wearing Graham's trademark white eyeglasses, while he wore The Kid's more traditional spectacles.

Graham immediately tweeted his universe, impressing his wanna-be protege with his social media savvy.

Since, The Kid has taken Elliott's maiden cookbook to bed with him for serious night-time reading, bookmarking favorite anecdotes and recipes. The Kid has a vision for his future.

Where are you in the parallel to this adventure? Do you go to work at a job every day? Or, do you have a vision for your future? Does your vision involve becoming a Supply Chain Master, or an SCM Master Junior?

Do you have sufficient passion to live, breathe, and recreate SCM? Do you have an equivalent to bookmarking your learnings in the field? Or, is it too late to turn around your reasons for excelling?

Think it over. Can you evolve into someone who is en fuego for a calling? Can you intellectually invest in becoming a thought leader, in finding an organizational leader to both follow and emulate, in setting the bar high for excellence in high performance?

Once again, The Kid provides an example of options to consider and heights to scale.
