Vent: line cook at my old spot in Dayton said I'd never last on grill, 6 months in I'm running the station

Back when I was green, a guy named Marcus on the line at a spot off 3rd Street in Dayton told me I didn't have the hands for grill and should stick to salad. I ignored him and put in the reps, and about 6 months later I was running that same station on Friday nights while he was on fryers. Part of me still wonders if he was just hazing me or if he actually meant it. Any of you ever get told you couldn't hack a station and end up proving them wrong?
