If Remy Can Cook, So Can You!

Who is Remy? What can he do that makes him so special?

Who is Remy? Can he represent the entire universal population?

Well, going by the fact that he’s a rat and he can cook superbly well, then we can safely conclude if Remy can cook, so can you!

Hey hey, that’s right. You probably have guessed by now the content of this post. That is, if you’ve watched Ratatouille!

That’s the name of the latest animation by Walt Disney Pictures, and that’s also the name of a dish - a vegetable stew of Provence, typically consisting of eggplant, zucchini, onions, green peppers, tomatoes, and garlic, served hot or cold.

I’m on a movie marathon this week, as I desperately do a last minute rush to the cinema so that I can use up my discount voucher before they expire by the end of this week. Watching movies at $5 per ticket seems to be a luxury of yore…

So, Ratatouille was the second one I’ve caught so far. Besides the high entertaining value this movie has, it also whets one’s appetite and strangely, the nachos tasted more delicious too! Hmm…

Every movie tells a story. Sometimes more than one story. And every story gives us a peek into our real lives.

I guess this rat embodies many virtues in him. Passion, trust, confidence, faith. Most evident and strongly felt of all is passion. His passion and faith in cooking - not just ordinary food but gourmet food really touches me.

No doubt he has an extraordinary gift of acute smell, but to make use of this talent to good use? Not everyone can do this.

Have you found out what your talent is? If you haven’t, is it because you have been busy pursuing the unattainable and been blind to those subtle clues exhibited in the course of doing so?

Or maybe they haven’t got the chance to surface yet. If this is the case, be patient.

Or perhaps your gift has come out in the past. Why not do some recalling now?

Do you believe in yourself? Firmly? Strongly? Unwavering, even in the face of going against your entire clan?

This little blue rat had such a strong belief that he has this gift and he can cook. That human beings aren’t as bad as he was taught. That you are what you eat, and stealing from the garbage isn’t befitting enough to be fed on.

Do you believe in yourself that you can do it? What is stopping you?
