Only you can judge your life. You have to live up to your own expectations.
It's easier being a judge than a competitor. As a judge, you don't have any risks. That makes it much more enjoyable.
I think the most important thing when you are in a competition and you have, let's say, ingredients you have to use make something you did already because none of the judges, you know, probably had it in our lifetime, so I think do something you feel confident with, not something completely new where you are not sure how many hours or how many minutes you have to cook it or if the seasoning is right or if the combinations of spices and herbs are right.
