A MATTER OF FATHER AND SON
Você me escuta falar muito do meu avô aqui no Blog. Mas hoje eu queria falar do meu pai. Nunca nos damos muito bem, até pouco tempo. E também há pouco tempo, tive uma grande experiência com ele...
Meu pai tinha acabado de assinar o contrato do aluguel do Núcleo Méier. Era Abril de 2011 e ele seria meu fiador. Meu pai tinha certeza absoluta de que eu não seria capaz de pagar o aluguel. Entre o ato de ler o contrato e assinar, meu pai fez inúmeras insinuações. Como para mim naquele momento, não era mais a respeito de nós dois, e sim de levar um Mo Gun de Ving Tsun ao Méier, eu me segurei e não respondi nenhuma vez.
Quando já não restava o que dizer, e estavamos prontos para ir ao cartório, meu pai me parou na cozinha e disse sério: "Thiago, escuta seu pai rapá. 'Cê vai viver de Kung Fu? Quanto dinheiro você vai tirar disso? Eu sei que você gosta desse negócio, mas arruma um trabalho normal. Faz um concurso, e aí faz esse negócio de hobby." - Com meu silêncio, meu pai completou já mais nervoso: "Ó, eu não vou pagar aluguel pra você nem nada não hein! Você vai resolver sozinho."
Estamos há 2 anos e meio no Núcleo Méier. Houveram meses em que não dava pra ver um filme que eu queria, houveram meses que não dava pra comprar um móvel que eu queria pra casa, minha reforma foi adiada por um ano... Mas eu nunca deixei de pagar um mês do aluguel.
Eu estava saindo pra ir pro Méier da casa da minha mãe, e meu pai fez sinal para eu parar o carro. Ele estava com um rapaz do seu condomínio. Pediu pra eu abrir a janela e perguntou:
-Thiago! Fala pra ele do que é sua academia!
-Ving Tsun.
-Huh? Não era Kung Fu?
-É,é....
Meu pai virou pro cara e disse: "O Thiago tem uma academia no Méier. E acho que ele dá aula na Barra também..."
-Né Thiago? - perguntou meu pai com um grande sorriso.
-É isso aí.
Meu pai disse aquilo com grande entusiasmo, bem diferente de dois anos antes.
E sabe, quando você escuta que a sua decisão não poderia ser pior, do cara que te manteve vivo até ali, é pra desanimar qualquer um. Mas por favor me escute se der:
You hear me talk a lot here about my grandfather in this Blog. But today I wanted to talk about my father. Never get along very well with him until recently. And recently, I had a great experience with him ...
My father had just signed the contract of rent of the MYVT Meier School room. It was April 2011 and he would be my surety. My father was sure that I would not be able to pay the rent. Between the act of reading and signing the contract, my father made numerous insinuations. As for me at that time, was no longer about us, but about put a MYVT School in that place, I hold it on myself and did not answer any time.
When no more was left to say, and we were ready to go to the registry office, my father stopped me in the kitchen and said seriously: "Thiago, listening to your father shave. You gonna live fromKung Fu? How much money will you take from it? II know you like this thing, but get a normal job! Make a public exam, and take this thing as a hobby. " - With my silence, my father completed more nervous, "Oh, I'm not going to pay rent or anything for you boy! You will take it by yourself! You will solve alone."
We are 2 and a half years at Meier wild neighborhood. There were months where I could not see a movie I wanted, there were months I could not buy a furniture that I wanted for my home, my home´s construction was postponed for a year ... But I have never failed to pay a month of rent.
I was leaving to go to Meier neighborhood from my mother's house, and my father made a signal for me to stop the car. He was with a boy who is his neighboor. Dad Asked me to open the window and asked:
-Thiago! Tell him what do tou practice at your gym!
-Ving Tsun.
-Huh? There was not Kung Fu?
-Yeah, it is ....
My father turned to the guy and said: "Thiago has an gym in Meier. And I think he also teaches at Barra ..."
-Right Thiago? - My father asked with a big smile.
-That's it.
My father said it with great enthusiasm. And you know, when you hear that your decision could not be worse, from the guy who kept you alive until there, is to discourage for anyone. But please listen to me if you can:

Não importa quem seja, não dê ouvidos. O seu sonho , ele não pode ser tão fraco para morrer desse jeito.
Talvez, você que esteja lendo, já tenha vivido uma situação onde você tem que escolher entre o "certo e o duvidoso". O "certo" é o "confortável". É a situação que não lhe traz riscos, e você não quer abrir mão dela. Mas sabe o que acontece? Quando você está sozinho consigo mesmo, vem um sentimento lá de longe, que te deixa incomodado. Você começa a se perguntar se era ali mesmo que deveria estar. Você fantasia com o que realmente queria que acontecesse. Você viaja até o futuro que queria viver, mas não tem coragem de estar lá em carne e osso, porque quando volta pro presente você já desistiu.
No matter who it is, do not listen! Your dream, can not be so weak to die that way.
Perhaps, you who are reading, has already lived a situation where you have to choose between "right and doubtful." The "right" is "comfortable". It is a situation that does not bring risks, and you do not want to give it up. But you know what happens? When you are alone with yourself, there comes a feeling from deep inside , that makes you uncomfortable. You begin to wonder if this place that you are, was even supposed to be the right one. You fantasize about what you really wanted it to happen. You travel to the future that you wanted to live, but you have no courage to be there for real, because when you come back to the present you has already give up.

Então quando em 2002 o Si Fu em seu escritório disse pra mim:
"Thiago, ninguém gosta de estar numa situação desconfortável, a primeira coisa que a pessoa quer fazer é desistir. E eu vou te falar: Desistir traz mesmo um certo alívio. Mas sabe... Quando você vai até o final. Quando você luta até o final da guerra, você sente uma coisa completamente diferente. Porque perdendo ou ganhando, você foi até o final...'Cê sabe qual é a diferença entre o teimoso e o persistente né?" - Fiz que não com a cabeça já com os olhos marejados e o Si Fu disse: "O teimoso para na metade, o persistente vai até o final."
So when in 2002 Si Fu in his office told me:
"Thiago, nobody likes to be in an uncomfortable position, the first thing one wants to do is give up. And I'll tell you: Giving up, even brings some relief. But you know ... When you go untill the end. When you fight until the end of the war, you feel a completely different thing. because winning or losing, you went untill the end ... Ya know what is the difference between the stubborn and the persistent right? "- I shook my head in negative already teary-eyed and Si Fu said: "The stubborn stops in the middle the persistent go untill to the end."

Por isso, se hoje eu e meu pai somos amigos, foi graças a força que o Si Fu me ensinou a ter.
Não a de bater em alguém , somente, mas a de focar no que é importante e lutar por isso assumindo os riscos.
Uma pena mesmo, que você só possa conhecer o trabalho que o Si Fu realiza nos ultimos 20 anos através de mim. Por isso, convido você a assistir o video abaixo, e na próxima postagem, acompanhar a homenagem que foi feita a ele por ocasião dos seus 10 anos de Família Kung Fu.
So if today my father and I are friends, it was thanks to the strength Si Fu taught me to have.
Not just to hit someone with fists, but to focus on what is important and fight for it assuming the risks.
Man thats a shame that you can only know the work of Si Fu in the last 20 years through me. Therefore, I invite you to watch the video below, and in the next post, follow the tribute that was made to him on the occasion of his 10 years of Kung Fu Family.
