Until two years ago, Daniel was working as an accountant in a large bank. He earned a good salary, but he felt bored every single day.
直到兩年前，丹尼爾都在一家大銀行當會計師。他薪水很好，卻每天都覺得無聊。
His real passion had always been cooking. At weekends he used to make tacos for his friends, who kept telling him to open a restaurant.
他真正熱愛的一直是做菜。以前週末他常做墨西哥捲餅給朋友吃，朋友們一直叫他開餐廳。
A restaurant was too expensive, so he bought an old truck instead and repaired it himself. Now he parks it outside office buildings at lunchtime.
開餐廳太貴了，所以他改買了一輛舊卡車，自己修好。現在他午餐時間就把車停在辦公大樓外面。
He works longer hours than before and earns less money. However, he says he has never been happier. "If I had stayed at the bank," he says, "I would still be dreaming."
他現在工作時間比以前長，賺的錢也比較少。不過他說他從來沒有這麼快樂過。「如果我當初留在銀行，」他說，「我到現在還只是在做夢。」
