Jamie Oliver: How to become a famous chef

While he was growing up, Jamie Oliver`s parents ran a pub in Essex, England and he used to practice cooking in the kitchen there. He enjoyed cooking so much that after he finished school, he went to Westminster Catering College where he studied to become a chef.

In 1999, he started working in The River Café, in Fulham, London, where he was noticed by the BBC. He went on to make a TV show called The Naked Chef. It was such a success that he made a cookbook of the same namewhich became a best-seller. In the same year, he received an invitation to prepare lunch for the Prime Minister at 10 Downing Street.

Oliver became famous for his simple, healthy but delicious creations. His recipes were fresh, and the style of his cooking programme was relaxed, friendly and cool. He turned food preparation and cooking into a fun activity, instead of a boring chore.

In 2005, Oliver introduced a campaign to improve school dinners in the UK. He wanted to get rid of the junk food that they served to kids and make kids eat fresh, healthy food. It wasn`t an easy task, but eventually the campaign was a success and students` eating habits showed great improvement.

Oliver`s next campaign was to get the people of the USA to start eating healthy and he started off with West Virginia. He wants to inform communities about how important it is to eathome-made healthy food. Hopefully, his message will spread across the world.

To be successful you must accept all challenges that come your way. You can`t just accept the ones you like. So, what is success? It often means different things to different people. Everybody has his own vision of being successful. How can a person achieve success in life? First of all, you should set a goal. You should know what you want. To achieve this goal you should be decisive, persistent, ambitious, and hard-working. You have to be ready to face a lot of hardships and failures. But as they say ``If one door is close, another is open``. You should do everything possible to make your wishes come true. And don`t get upset if something goes wrong. Life will teach us how to overcome difficulties and cope with disappointments.Don`t give up! Don`t pray for an easy life, pray to be a stronger man.

I know for sure ``No pain, no gain.`` Only working hard you can become successful. As for me success is my personal achievements, self-realization and creating family happiness.
