100 posts

Well well well... this is my 100th published post so i thought i shall do something kind of special. Usually people do the "100 things about me" but i already did that a year ago so it would be really redundant and boring.

I figured i rather explain where the name of my blog come from. Impossible n'est pas frenchie. As you probably got it, it means "impossible is not frenchie" which means that there is nothing i can't do. The typical french humility, you will tell me.

Well yes, it is definitely french. It comes from this classical quote we have "Impossible n'est pas francais" (impossible is not french). Guess who said that. I ll give you a hint: he was very french, very small, did not have a clue of how to spell humility and had this weird hat. Ladies and Gentlemen, yes it was Napoleon the first.

In a letter sent in 1813 to the Général Lemarois, he wrote : "Ce n'est pas possible, m'écrivez-vous; cela n'est pas français." which clearly meant, that he would not take no as an answer, because nothing was impossible to the French.

Humility, humilty, humility. Anyway, i chose it as my motto because as any normal French person, i do believe in la grandeur de la France and also I believed in me, able of achieving whatever goal i would set to myself. So far, i haven't been proved wrong, let's hope it is not gonna change.

Also a motto like this one is also here to remind you, in case of doubts, what I believe in and that even if a day, a week, a month or a year might suck, there is nothing I can't do. After all I am french ;-)
