I Asked a Teenager

I asked a teenager 
"what do you want to be 
when you get older"

The Teenager replied 
"I want to be a mai·tre d'
and own my own restaurant"

"Have you got a plan"
"No" he replied.
"To succeed you need a plan"

"To be the mai·tre d'"
"you need to study Hospitality"
"To gain the skills required"

"To own your own restaurant"
"you need to find a job and then"
"you need to learn to save"

"You can do it"
"People have done it"
"success takes a lot of hard work"
