Magic, real magic, is not an illusion. The real magic is the feeling when life transforms from the ordinary into the extraordinary. I could only find my magic in a cookie or a slice of cake.
魔法,真正的魔法,不是幻觉。真正的魔法是生活从平凡变为非凡时的感觉。我只能在一块饼干或一块蛋糕中找到我的魔法。
And so when I opened Milk Bar, I decided I wasn't gonna frost the sides of the cake like the textbooks taught me. I decided I was gonna load cookie dough with marshmallows or pretzels and potato chips and butterscotch chips and coffee.
所以当我开 Milk Bar 时,我决定不按照教科书教的那样在蛋糕的侧面涂糖霜。我决定在饼干面团上放上棉花糖或椒盐脆饼、薯片、奶油糖片和咖啡。
I wanted people to eat birthday cake not just on their birthday, but any day they wanted. Rather than measure my business success by the proper loss, I decided we'd measure our impact by the twinkle in people's eyes.
我希望人们不仅在生日那天吃生日蛋糕,而且在任何他们想要的日子吃。我决定用人们眼中的闪光来衡量我们的影响,而不是用适当的损失来衡量我的商业成功。
