As a winner of Master Chef Canada, Eric is destined for a life of preparing fine cuisine, but that wasn't always his path. He takes us through his story, one of a reluctant chemical engineering student, and how his journey is an inspiration for anyone who wants to take a risk and pursue their passion.
A self-proclaimed ninja, Eric already has a lot under his belt; he’s a chemical engineer, a graduate of McMaster University, a cook of 15 years, and now winner of MasterChef Canada. At 6 years old, he began with simple tasks in the kitchen and worked his way up, following in the footsteps of his grandfather who was the head chef at a Chinese restaurant. Determined to prove himself, Eric loves cooking foods with a ‘wow factor.’
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

This is beyond coincidence! I am an Asian. My grandfather also was a great chef. Even my father is a chef but he wants me to be an engineer. So now I m in college and doing mechanical engineering though this is not my passion! Food was, is and always will be my 1st priority! May be one day I can pursue my dream like Eric! May be one day...

The Bible says in John 3:16-36 that whoever believes in the Lord Jesus Christ shall not perish but have everlasting life, the Bible also says in Romans 10:9 that those who declare with their mouth that Jesus Christ is their God, Lord, and Savior they shall be saved. Revelation 1:8 says that Jesus is the alpha and the omega. Luke and revelation is the ending times, and Jesus is returning back. So are you going to submit your life to him or no? Narrow is the path that leads to the gates of heaven, but only few people find it. The gates that is the path to destruction is where many people find it! Jesus loves you SO MUCH! That he died on the cross, and was resurrected from the dead 3 days later to give us eternal life…!!!

I'm a Chemical Engineer and I dreamt of joining Master Chef Asia before I graduated from university but I was too young back then and had no passport yet. Now after working in the Engineering field for 4 years, I'm at the point in my life where I don't want to work as an Engineer anymore. I want to chase my passion for food specifically baking and become a Pastry Chef. I'll update here if I choose that path probably by 2023. Wish me all the best. Thanks!

I wanted to be a chef because of my huge passion for food, i knew how to cook ever since i was a kid and loved experimenting different food. However, my dad told me its too hard for me and probably i just got influenced or smth. now, im study designing which is still amazing and smth i also love, but I can’t compare it with my passion for cooking. anyways, cooking will continue to be one of my hobbies and hopefully i can do a lot more!

I'm 25 and I would like to pursue a career in the culinary world but as Eric says it can be risky to which I agree. I even have the same idea of winning the lottery in order to do so so I can afford to possibly fail but thats just wishful thinking. I graduated with a Criminal Justice degree and currently work in that field but I'm unhappy because I'm not as passionate as I was during my time in school. Now I feel like it is too late for me to make the change.

unfortunately this is how asian parents are, I was on the lucky side since my parents are not pushy about my career and they don't say much but I can clearly see that they want me to become a doctor. Even though I wanna be a doctor it's still hard cuz they expect me to become a doctor without my consent in the first place (for example, when I became pretty much fluent in english I decided to go somewhere with english education but my mom is still says that I should go study in germany instead which I don't want to because I can't really speak german even with 3 years of learning). Like I said I am on the lucky side, lots of parents compare their children to others and saying things like "Why do you want to be an artist, look at your cousin, he studied hard and got into medical school and he will earn a lot more than you!" duh do you he will actually enjoy being a doctor, because he is going to suffer. What is more frustrating than this is they are not doctors or engineers. They don't know the suffering but they still want their child to suffer and just look at the result of all those years. and that's my TEDx talk thank you for reading
