[Applause]
do we have what we have
actually offer why are the
people who organize this kind
events that appeal to us
do you expect to receive
we said ok we have yes it’s true
we have three restaurants and a service
catering but good look there are
a few weeks on on the telly a
French who had opened a restaurant
amiens and that I think five years ago
had 35 franchise across France
have already fortunately he does not have
open here otherwise answer each other in front
I will not be on the map
clear and we said ok so it’s not
as special as it is it is true
appreciate we know it’s a lot of
work but after what is so what
we can share because we are not
as special as that after all we
was ok we’ll look at each other
ourselves and we will try to see
what is it that we have
two things we can share
what can we pass on to
young and mam at least I know said ok
maybe people who we
look to realize that we are
maybe already we are con is
returned to a social environment
politics was a bit complicated but
returns in 2010 from the United States when there
had war and everything so already
it’s true that it can be complicated
after that maybe the people who are us
look can say to themselves
ok time
in background their course no do not
not predestined to this course
because christelle who today
books in four institutions at
daily American cooking in
another African cuisine in a
other international cuisine with
japanese-sized japanese dishes did
never done cooking school
culinary series never ever
never worked under a big boss
and me who today he has to dine
with my god a team of directors
financial accounting and the
central purchasing of human resources
I have a grad not even not even
two university degrees and so
maybe these people also look at
sees that 1 through social networks
we can see that despite despite everything
work because everybody thinks
that restoration takes a lot of
time but we still have
narry see the weather for no no 3
children for our family for our
parents for our friends even for the
clubs of the city 1
we have time and so it is true that he
is still the context is a little
difficult but I think we have when
even all seen videos
motivational on TV on
internet who say ok well listen and
champions athletes who have everything
won and then who gets up after having
won the super bowl where the nfl or the
league champions their championship
national who say ok tomorrow we have to
training we need to have
to concentrate we need to
go further
and well I think that through these
videos we’ve all seen there’s already the
response a great success we have it
maybe on our small scale but
that’s what you want to be
do it all the time you have to be
motivated you just have to work
what else can we say
we may be able to share our
history
and then let us know how we too
we tapped through his videos but
I think the final message will be that
it’s being able to work for a long time
intensely in fact
what I’m going to tell you here is
just our little story to us without
that I met at
united states I work in a
restaurant as a manager and he
wanted to be vary the job
but some time later he
is the job and never in mentor anna
cannois who was really someone from
the age of my father who really my sight
to work as a student who spoke
not English who wants the arrival is
really who saw me become less than
waitress waitress and after manager and
when i came home franck and we got
possibly started to work
together that’s at least what these two
there finally christelle found the
person he needs to be able to
become independent and we did not
not even $ 1000 in our account and he
told us good I think you are
ready and they make us one
250 thousand dollar restaurant in his
campaign 2000 women students like
that and this gentleman he had a child
an only daughter
but give it before what with him and
everything went from there we worked
for five years we worked if we
was really happy our parents us
can not believe but you know
what was done to the restaurant
loss
we lost everything we lost our house
we lost our restaurant we lost
our cars we’ve lost everything
is what stopped there either
after that we would meet every
two him east of the city – west
in the ghetto and
in jobs really we would not have
never imagined we could have had
no it’s not discouraged we just
said internship was ashamed to everyone
we work and eventually we will
find our life where something and
a few years later we get
found in abidjan by opening our
first restaurant we had faith on
said it’s going to work and thank you
immoral we followed the Americans
we followed the expats we have
followed and after we said but
maybe the American restaurant
that’s not enough for name Ivory Coast
we are Ivorian car restaurant
Ivorians and we are hungry will remain
Ivorian followed expats
your follow up the gentleman japanese
everyone then
and after it was tucked in
banks that’s not enough that the one has
need to express themselves in the kitchen
maybe she wants to touch the
japanese indian cuisine
we opened our restaurant which also
tracking that worked
just to say that we have known
chess
no I did not stop there and we
will never stop there
part of the cabbage life and that’s
normal failed but do we
stop to announce jamin we are going
always continue and then we give ourselves
no excuses
jamin says to himself that there are people who
do in chile perhaps in mozambique
and everything is so that means we
can do after they do it in
completely different environment
but she will do it in their
environment so that means we
can also and we may have
benefit us from working in a
advantage that our work is our
passion but I believe that even if we
is at the same time as the work and the
passion does not have one is not
qualified for we did not go to school
for we are not we have not learned
before we also say we can have
the
the job the job that is not the
passion and do well I mean that
I think that today I think that
everyone will agree all the
world needs the best in his
team when we were young and
we play football we put there
had two guys from captains the most
strong and after we put everyone
in the middle we chose to say I
I’m here I’m here we started
best up to those who are
less good and so that means that mam
design cashier in my opinion or that
for sale of coal
we need the best we need and
so if we Statement on what we
account for to go ahead we get
said that as long as we will do what is
to say steak sauces or a
fish sauce from a service or
decorations of a restaurant in people
will come to us and we would have
always enough to go in front of
throws it is essential to look for
world best good excuse I have my
sister who is who was professor at
the university for a moment and who
in fine chemistry a matter a little
complicated for most people and
she was telling me that what she was saying to
his students who were struggling to
move his matter who wanted to which he
needed to be a PhD in
chemistry to them said ok you want to be
a doctor in chemistry
for thirty forty years of your life
but you refuse to sacrifice yourself to work
hard for a material that will last that
four – in your life his boss if you
decide to sacrifice you for his four
month for 40 years knight and after
this time that in general at the
perspective change a little he gave himself
a little bit more and most of them and
possibly pass the class it’s
just to say that we will always have
barriers
it’s never going to stop but is it
that means we have to flex
no after I think what you want
to say it’s a bit that on the course we
is obliged to do things we did not
not want to do things that we
do not like us we like to serve
prepare to put people at ease
today we spend hours in
endless meetings for tests
but we have to do them on
spends time with departments
human resources things like that
we do not like at all but we are
obliged because it’s part of
from the experience of the paths one is
obliged to go through there to grow
but does not prevent us from giving ourselves
limitations
we know that for we want to grow we want
we can go much further than that
but we must do what is necessary to
do not have limits when we
back in 2010 we dreamed of having
the best restaurant in abidjan on
was crazy because we
had no money we came with
some stuff from the old chairs and
everything is in the head we said we
came to see the best remained
completely crazy I will kick blow on
kick but it is we got it was
realized the environment
it was complicated but we did not
discouraged and we said to ourselves and god
thank you here recently is still
one of our restaurants that meets when
even in the category of the best
restaurants in the city and we are
proud but do we stop there
stop there continue because
we know that it is possible as long as we
works all who all of us who
must today is time to
devote to work and then that’s it and
deeply
Still, we have a life we spend
a lot of time together we go in
vacations occupy our children we want
that but not at the cost of sacrificing our
this is of course all that we
means that I think
honestly no matter whoever
find
the dream is possible so we believe
of ivory the possible regular
