Greetings, friends of Rising Star, I hope you're all having a happy Tuesday, in good health, and above all, together as a family, which is the greatest thing there can be. Well, friends, today I want to share a new story I've created for you. As you know, it's inspired by one of the fantastic cards from our favorite game. For today, I've chosen card R461 Leo. As you'll see in the story, he's a talented chef, but he's not satisfied with something in his life. I'll show you what he does to change and feel fulfilled. I invite you to enjoy the story. That said, fasten your seatbelts, because we're already starting.

Let me tell you, friends, that Leo lives in a big city, in Buskeria. He's a very energetic person and is always willing to achieve what he sets out to do. It's not for nothing that he's been so successful in his life. You see, he's currently a highly recognized chef in the hotel industry in Buskeria. He's worked in several famous restaurants and has tons of job offers. He's currently the head chef at one of the best hotels in the city. As you can imagine, he earns a very good salary that allows him to have a high standard of living. He's been in this business for approximately 15 years.

Many of the chefs envy him for his talent, but it's a healthy envy. They just want to be like him and achieve his success one day. Leo's work routine is very demanding. He arrives at the hotel at 7:00 a.m. and leaves at 11:00 p.m. And don't think he gets much time off during the day. He only has 30 minutes to eat and get back to work. As the head chef, he has to maintain order and quality in thousands of orders every day. Remember, this is one of the largest hotels in Buskeria. Even for him, the routine is exhausting. He hasn't had time to spend with his family or pursue a personal hobby for a long time.

Another restaurant recently opened at the hotel, and since he's the head chef, he also has to supervise it. This was the final straw. The truth is, he's been considering retiring from the industry for several months. You see, he's realized his life is all about work. He hasn't spent a weekend with his family in a long time. His wife only sees him at night when she comes to sleep. He literally lives to work. He fondly remembers when he started working as a cook. He truly loved cooking, as he had the freedom to create his own dishes or dedicate only the time necessary to the job. Just thinking about all this has made him rethink things.

That's why, despite his prestige, he's decided in recent days to make a very important decision. He's decided to leave his job as head chef and open his own small restaurant that will allow him to support himself, enjoy the art of cooking, and at the same time, not feel so much pressure. Also, since he's his own boss, he can decide his working hours. It's exactly what he always wanted. Money and prestige slowly drove him away. But it's too late when the milk is good, as the saying goes.

After talking it over at home, he decided to take a leave of absence from his job. They can't even begin to understand the liberation he felt. In fact, he took a 15-day vacation. Of course, he faced resistance from some colleagues who told him it was crazy to leave a secure position and prestige to pursue small personal goals. But he said that his quality of life was more important to him than any money he might have. And he left, never to return. After the 15-day break he took was over, he sat down to calculate the expenses. He wanted the restaurant he was planning to open to be stress-free, so he carefully considered the days he would work and what hours.

After talking it over with his wife, they decided it would be best to use the large terrace they had in front of their house to set up a simple restaurant. They calculated the expenses and saw that the construction wouldn't be that expensive. So a few days later, they began the work. They bought new tables, new tableware, suitable seating, and a nice, simple decoration for the place. The idea was for the restaurant to be accessible to everyone in the Buskeria community. Leo then planned the dishes for each day. Now he had more freedom to choose the menu and didn't have the pressure of managing multiple employees. It was just him and his restaurant. And his wife would be the waitress.

After that, Leo hired some advertising companies to publicize the new restaurant. He wanted everyone to know they could eat quality homemade food and some premium dishes he'd handpicked. The best part was that the prices would be as low as possible to make it affordable for as many people as possible. Within a few days, the advertising companies announced the news. Immediately, many people were impatient for the restaurant to open so they could start eating there.

Many knew Leo was a famous chef, so they knew the food would be very good. Before opening, some sponsors approached him, wanting to invest in the restaurant and attract more customers from their businesses. In return, he would have to prepare specific menus and hire more staff.

But Leo quickly told them he wasn't interested, that he had left everything in his previous life to work without pressure, and he told them he wouldn't accept sponsors. He would be the boss. With that, they left. A few days later, Leo and his wife opened the new restaurant. It was a huge success. Now they could enjoy more time together, work on what they loved, and best of all, there was no work pressure. And all this was thanks to Leo knowing how to change the order of priorities in his life.

Dear friends, this concludes today's story. Thank you for taking the time to read. Much appreciated. Have a great day at Buskeria.
