  Manuel Linares, who lives in the town of Calella in the Spanish province of Barcelona, was once a physicist, but his dream was to become a chef. So, at the age of 37, he surprisingly changed his career to become a chef. In order to be a good chef, Linares went to a special hotel management school, and the trainees laughed at him when they heard that the scientist had changed his career to become a chef.

  

  "Hey, you are not a fake scientist ah, which have put the scientist not to do and come to be a chef?"

  

  "Scientists as chefs, is it a real hobby or a hype?" Faced with questions, Linares felt that he had to make achievements to prove that he liked the career of chef, but also to prove that he was a real scientist.

  

  At one point, the teacher taught how to make ice cream, and after a simple operation, the teacher encouraged the trainees to make different flavors or different forms of ice cream according to their preferences. The trainees thought it was difficult and shook their heads, but Linares thought there was an opportunity.

  

  The first thing Linares did was to look up many ways to make ice cream, which were almost identical. However, a British man named Charlie Francis made a fluorescent ice cream, as long as the tongue and ice cream contact, it will emit a light green fluorescent, giving people a dual enjoyment of taste and vision. Linares was inspired and decided to make ice cream that could change color.

  

  From a scientist's point of view, Linares believes that healthy ingredients are important for the body, so he insists on using all-natural ingredients to make ice cream. However, using all-natural ingredients to make ice cream posed great difficulties for development. All the ingredients that react are usually chemical agents, and it would be difficult to get the desired effect without chemical ingredients. Linares repeatedly research trials, each time because the color can not be converted and failed.

  

  "Since you are a scientist, you must be able to research and develop new raw materials, otherwise you are a pseudo-scientist." Faced with the ridicule of his peers, Linares was not discouraged.

  

  In order to make the entrance of ice cream both change color and have different flavors, Linares decomposed and reorganized the ingredients used to make ice cream, and then conducted physical tests. The wisdom of scientists and chef's creativity perfect combination, after three months of hard work, and finally developed a color-changing ice cream.

  

  The shape of the color-changing ice cream is similar to that of ordinary ice cream, which is based on the assorted flavors, including strawberry, banana, caramel and vanilla, etc. The ice cream is blue and turns into a romantic purple color when it melts in the mouth. Linares named the ice cream "Chameleon Ice Cream" and his peers were so impressed with it that no one doubted Linares' identity as a scientist or denigrated his dream of becoming a chef anymore.

  

  Once launched, Chameleon Ice Cream was so popular that customers had to wait in line to get a taste of it. The chameleon ice cream not only sold well in Spain, but also attracted the attention of foreign distributors, and Linares quickly applied for a patent to sell it abroad.

  

  The news that the scientist turned into a chef and developed color-changing ice cream quickly attracted the attention of the media, and many netizens also lamented online that careers are not high or low, and that any kind of industry can achieve success as long as one puts one's heart into it. And Linares face the reporter interview, happy to say: every dream is worth having, and dreams do not have a high or low rank, the courage to try and work hard, the dream will eventually come true.

  

  There is no law of success, as long as you dare to think and do, any kind of dream, you can succeed.
