It's rare to directly extract the original sentence from the documentary, but in the months after watching this episode, the many golden lines said by this already peaked South American chef have always been heard in my ears. About life, about growth, about career, about self, about interpersonal relationships. In the first half of his life, he made a name for himself as a chef. In the second half of his life, he was not so much a chef, but a poet and philosopher who loved food. In the face of the few paragraphs eloquently narrated by the camera, I think that if it was a different person, I would not be able to say it so well even if I had written a draft. Since the original taste is so powerful, why should it be scattered and packaged again? I will simply take it down in its raw form, may these words support you through the hard moments in your life, may the wisdom beneath inspire you down the road.
About life choices
I don't know where I live For the last 30 years, I take an average of 4 or 5 airplanes a week So I am sitting on a plane and I am changing locations probably every two days It's just like a drug for me I need this constant change of structures of people and ambiences and languages They are very inspring they are very romantic They make me breathe They make me... tremble They make me live
About relationship
I seldom invite people to have lunch or dinner with me but they are really chosen because I can't spend time with people that i don't enjoy I can't do any more theater I make choices And that's a beautiful thing about growing up , learning to say no In a nice way, but you say no I have this friend of mine, he was in the island in fact, thirty years ago when we just started And we parted, you know, we just went different ways in our lives Once, he came back to me, and says, Francis you don't like me anymore And I said, no, it's not that I don't like you, we've chosen different styles of life I still have this beautiful souvenirs of all the things we did together, and how close we were, and so on, but the truth is, it's not that you bore me, but I don't enjoy talking to you anymore, and I don't want to fight with you, but you know, there's nothing in common between your life and mine nowadays I would have never said that to him, but he asked me So what could I say I said the truth But you know, growing up has a bit to do with that too, to be able to tell the truth to show who you are, even if it hurts
business and team building
Because Every person that works for you You have to let it go in the best moment When, he and you, are in the happiest moment When, he and you think, that you are doing your best They have to go, from there on, there is only one way, which is down And if that person stays, and he says, God, this is a comfortable chair, I have nice salary, good job, and from there, he would get bored I think it's important that he goes on, and somebody else will come up And that transfer of energy, of work, makes a little difficult moment, but then, it passes And new people grow up to it
