Kipling na pós...

Estava preparando um trabalho da pós-graduação latu sensu em Direito do Trabalho e me deparei, novamente, com alguns versos de Rudyard Kipling, escritor inglês, que meu avô (nascido em 1896 e já falecido) tinha em sua escrivaninha (móvel que hoje está em minha casa). Achei melhor colocar aqui, como mais uma referência aos que procurarem na rede mundial de computadores, tais versos. Em inglês e português...

Se


Se és capaz de manter a tua calma quando

Todo o mundo ao teu redor já a perdeu e te culpa;

De crer em ti quando estão todos duvidando,

E para esses no entanto achar uma desculpa;

Se és capaz de esperar sem te desesperares,

Ou, enganado, não mentir ao mentiroso,

Ou, sendo odiado, sempre ao ódio te esquivares,

E não parecer bom demais, nem pretensioso;


Se és capaz de pensar --sem que a isso só te atires,

De sonhar --sem fazer dos sonhos teus senhores.

Se encontrando a desgraça e o triunfo conseguires

Tratar da mesma forma a esses dois impostores;

Se és capaz de sofrer a dor de ver mudadas

Em armadilhas as verdades que disseste,

E as coisas, por que deste a vida, estraçalhadas,

E refazê-las com o bem pouco que te reste;


Se és capaz de arriscar numa única parada

Tudo quanto ganhaste em toda a tua vida,

E perder e, ao perder, sem nunca dizer nada,

Resignado, tornar ao ponto de partida;

De forçar coração, nervos, músculos, tudo

A dar seja o que for que neles ainda existe,

E a persistir assim quando, exaustos, contudo

Resta a vontade em ti que ainda ordena: "Persiste!";


Se és capaz de, entre a plebe, não te corromperes

E, entre reis, não perder a naturalidade,

E de amigos, quer bons, quer maus, te defenderes,

Se a todos podes ser de alguma utilidade,

E se és capaz de dar, segundo por segundo,

Ao minuto fatal todo o valor e brilho,

Tua é a terra com tudo o que existe no mundo

E o que mais --tu serás um homem, ó meu filho!


 

If

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
But make allowance for their doubting too,
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream--and not make dreams your master,
If you can think--and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools;


If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings --nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much,
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And --which is more-- you'll be a Man, my son!

Abraços a todos...

Férias 2008 – (parte I)

Estamos envolvidos com os preparativos de nossa viagem de férias. Teremos a última quinzena de junho para o merecido descanso e passaremos alguns dias na região italiana do Lago de Como, finalizando em Kressbronn, na Alemanha, com participação na feira internacional de radioamadorismo de Friedrichshafen.

Nosso hotel em Como fica na pequena cidade de Argegno:

www.locandasantanna.net

E em Kressbronn, nossa hospedagem será num local que já conhecemos e gostamos muito, ambiente familiar:

http://www.hotel-krone-kressbronn.de/index1.html

Como de hábito, daremos atenção às recomendações do guia Michelin, para os restaurantes. Eis a lista de "pretensões", mais abaixo, com as devidas anotações em inglês, providenciadas pelo site. Desembarcaremos em Zurich (Suíça) no dia 18 antes do almoço, chegando em Argegno no mesmo dia e jantando no mesmo local em que nos hospedaremos. No dia 23.6.2008 subimos em direção a Chur, cidade conhecida por boas compras e importante centro ferroviário da Suíça. E na noite desse mesmo dia, chegamos em Kressbronn, nosso ponto central na permanência da Alemanha. Nadaremos nos dois lagos J

A feira HamRadio (http://www.darc.de/ausland/new/HR2008/index.html) ocorre todo ano em junho na terra do Zeppelin (sim, o dirigível!!); Ana e eu já estivemos na HamRadio quatro vezes, numa delas com nosso amigo Mamiro PY2DM no hotel Maier.

Hajo, DJ9MH, tem sido o sujeito bacana que passa as orientações e dá informações importantes sobre bons vinhos alemães. Também me ajudou, junto com DL1SCH, na procura de uma peça para nosso Mercedes Benz A-Class... IK2QEI Stefano, encontrou o hotel assinalado acima para a área de Como, ao lado do maravilhoso lago. Argegno, onde está nosso "albergo", é a cidade escolhida por George Clooney para sua casa na Europa...

Segue apenas para registro do blog...
