지금껏 진지하게 나와의 대화를 해본적이 별로 없었던 것 같다.

이런저런 글을 읽다가 문득 '나에 대해' 생각해보기로 했는데, 나란 사람 참 이래저래 문제가 많았더라.

물론 사람이란 모두 완벽할 순 없지만, 남은 인생을 좀 더 멋지게 살려면 나와의 적당한 타협도 필요하겠다란 생각이 들었다.

자기애도 강하고, 

자존심도 쎄고,

막내 같지 않은 나 (라고는 말해도 겪어보면 진짜 너무나도 제멋대로인 나)

뭐, 아직 인연을 못만난거야 (그건 나에게도 책임이 있어)

꽂히면

열심히 하는거. 

내가 참 잘하는 것이다.

그놈의 승부욕으로 남들보다 지는거 싫어서 경쟁을 붙여놓으면 기를 쓰고 꼭 이기고야 만다.

근데 문제는...

나 자신과의 싸움에서 별로 이겨본 적이 없다는 것.

어제의 나, 작년의 나, 10년전의 나를 넘지 못하고 계속 제자리라는 것.

겉모습, 지식 보다 가장 나에게 필요한 것은 마음의 수양이란 걸!!! 이제서야 알다니.

똑똑하게 그리고 냉정하게 나를 반성하면서 성숙한 사람이 되겠다.

잠시 모든 걸 멈추고, 나를 성장시켜 다시 돌아오겠다.

성숙해진 나로 다시 돌아와 인생을 멋지게 살겠다.

나를 믿고, 여유로워진 내가 되어 환하게 해맑게 웃으며 다시 돌아오겠다.

Brazil's ex-president Lula da Silva is in jail. He got a 12-year sentence for money laundering and corruption. It is a big downfall for him. He still has a lot of support. Hours before giving himself to the police, his supporters tried to stop him. Hundreds of union workers blocked the gate to stop his car. However, with the help of his bodyguards, he could get past the crowds. This meant there were no clashes with armed police.

브라질의 전 대통령 Lula da Silva는 교도소에 있다. 그는 돈세탁과 부패로 12년형을 받았다. 그를 파멸로 치닫게 했다. 그는 아직까지 많은 지원을 받고 있다. 그가 경찰로 송치되기 몇시간 전, 그의 지지자들은 그를 멈추게하려고 했다. 수백명의 노조원들은 그의 차를 멈추게 하려고 문을 막았다. 그러나 그의 경호원들의 도움으로, 그는 관중을 뚫고 들어갈 수 있었다. 무장경찰과 어떤 충돌도 없다는 것을 의미했다.

Mr da Silva is known as Lula. He was born in poverty but worked his way up to become leader of Brazil. He was elected President in 2002 and served from 2003 to 2010. During this time, he started social welfare programs and improved the economy. He helped millions out of poverty. This increased his popularity. Barack Obama called him, "the most popular politician on Earth". When he left the presidency, his approval rating was 83 per cent.

Mr. da Silva는 Lula로 알려져있다. 그는 가난하게 태어났지만 브라질의 리더가 되도록 일했다. 그는 2002에 대통령 선거에 당선되어, 2003년부터 2010년까지 역임했다. 이 때동안, 그는 사회복지 프로그램을  시작하고 경제를 발전시켰다. 그는 수백만의 가난한 사람들을 도왔다. 이것이 그의 인기를 오르게 했다. 버락 오바마는 "지구에서 가장 인기있는 정치인" 이라고 그를 불렀다. 그가 대통령을 떠났을 당시, 그의 지지율이 83%였다.
