There is no gainsaying the fact that success cannot be attained unless all and sundry work by the sweat of their brows, make an effort to take the bull by the horns, and open new chapters in their lives.
As hard work is the key to success, every Tom, Dick, and Harry should be able to work day in and day out for the love of standing on their feet and reaching new heights of success. But if one fails to do so, attaining the desired goal will not be as easy as falling off a log.
As hard work is one of the pillars of success, everybody ought to stick to this reality on the ground without batting their eyes. Some religious texts say, “By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return.”
The intended target of this writer is not fully emphasizing how to be a successful breadwinner, but to familiarize an Ethiopian woman who brought a taste of Ethiopia to Reading. When this writer went through the interview she gave to BerkshireLive, he was taken by surprise. This being the case, he made up his mind to share the good news to The Ethiopian Herald esteemed readers.
To begin with, she goes by the name of Tutu Mekalu. She is from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. She lives in Reading. She settled in the town in 1991. Every so often, as she was taken by surprise on the multicultural and diversity of the town, the idea of running her own business sprang into her mind.
She sought to open a cafe in which she could share her own culinary heritage time after time. As time went by, she got herself involved in the business and turned out to be a successful businesswoman in the shortest possible time. She has been in the business for thirteen years.
Aside from serving Ethiopian specialties as well as British and European dishes, she offers a wide spectrum of pleasant locally-sourced cake and delicious coffee time and again.
She said in the interview she gave to BerkshireLive, “One of the reasons I fell in love with Reading when I arrived here in 1991 was the multicultural nature of the town.”
Following her hard work, she managed to win in the Entrepreneur category of the year 2019 Pride of Reading Awards, writing: “Tutu always has the community at heart. She has taken the risk and moved her business into Palmer Park, where others have failed.
“To get this recognition from the people of Reading is indeed heartening, and me and my team think very high of it.”
“I feel so privileged to be chosen. I have always driven my business to be connected to the local community bringing into play local dealers for my meat and veg, local bakers for my cakes and local people to build my team.”
