La humildad es una de las cualidades más lindas que puede tener cualquier ser humano. Ser humilde se ha convertido en una virtud que lamentablemente muchas personas no la tienen. ¿Cómo serÃa el mundo si todos fuéramos humildes?... Es de esas preguntas que la respuesta es muy conocida de conseguir. Cabe destacar que me refiero a humildad en personalidad y no por estado económico.
[eng]Humility is one of the most beautiful qualities that any human being can have. Being humble has become a virtue that unfortunately many people do not have. **What would the world be like if we were all humble? It is one of those questions that the answer is very well known to get. It should be noted that I refer to humility in personality and not by economic status.
He conocido tantas personas que se avergüenzan de dónde vienen, les cuesta mucho asumir su realidad que viven y se la pasan en un mundo de fantasÃa. Esto se ha convertido en un común de denominador en un mundo que se maneja sobre la vanidad y cosas materiales.
[eng]I have met so many people who are ashamed of where they come from, they have a hard time assuming their reality that they live and spend their time in a fantasy world. This has become a common denominator in a world that is driven by vanity and material things.
Estando en la universidad conocà a una persona que no le gustaba hablar sobre su lugar de residencia y al grupo la verdad nos extrañaba mucho, habÃa diversidad de clases sociales y la verdad nunca habÃa discriminación. Un dÃa. La enteremos que vivÃa en la Vega, actualmente una de las zonas más peligrosas de la Caracas, y no solo eso sà no que vivÃa en uno de los barrios dónde el nivel de delincuencia era bastante fuerte. Recuerdo que una vez tuvimos que ir a su casa para realizar un trabajo ya que esa persona no podÃa salir por problemas de salud y necesitábamos estar todos. Fue un momento muy incómodo ya que prácticamente con sus palabras y actitudes nos estaba corriendo de su casa. Luego de unas semanas se sinceró con nosotros y nos hizo saber que le daba mucha pena decir dónde vivÃa y que la gente fuera a su hogar.
[eng]When I was in college I met a person who did not like to talk about his place of residence and the group really missed us, there was a diversity of social classes and the truth was that there was never any discrimination. One day. We found out that she lived in the Vega, currently one of the most dangerous areas of Caracas, and not only that but she lived in one of the neighborhoods where the level of delinquency was quite strong. I remember that once we had to go to his house to do some work because that person could not go out due to health problems and we all needed to be there. It was a very uncomfortable moment since he was practically running us out of his house with his words and attitudes. After a few weeks he came clean with us and let us know that he was very embarrassed to tell us where he lived and to have people come to his home.
Por otra parte tengo un amigo que vive en un barrio de aquà de la Guaira en una casa bastante humilde y le encanta que lo vayan a visitar y sentarse hablar afuera en el porche. Quizás puedan pensar que se siente cómodo viviendo ahà y es conformista con lo que tiene, pero nada más alejado de la realidad. Es una de las personas más emprendedores y con ganas de surgir que conozco, por eso no las llevamos muy bien.
[eng]On the other hand I have a friend who lives in a neighborhood here in the Guaira in a rather humble house and loves to be visited and sit and talk outside on the porch. You might think that he is comfortable living there and is conformist with what he has, but nothing could be further from the truth. He is one of the most enterprising and driven people I know, so we don't get along very well.
El estar en una situación económica no define un estatus permanente. Yo también vivo en un barrio y no lo niego, las ganas que tengo de salir de aquà a una zona más cómoda y tranquila están siempre latentes, sin embargo conozco mis raÃces y asumà mi realidad. Se que debo trabajar lograrlo y en eso ando, poco a poco trabajo hormiguita y con mucho enfoque. Siempre humilde ante toda situación porque me lo inculcaron desde que era un niño.
[eng]Being in an economic situation does not define a permanent status. I also live in a neighborhood and I do not deny it, the desire I have to leave here to a more comfortable and quiet area is always latent, however I know my roots and I assumed my reality. I know that I have to work to achieve it and that's what I'm doing, little by little, working as an ant and with a lot of focus. Always humble in every situation because it was instilled in me since I was a child.
Muchas veces me cuesta aceptar o entender como un gran número de personas les cuesta asumir que por ciertas circunstancias hasta hoy dÃa les toca vivir en un lugar que no se sienten cómodos. Asumirlo no es conformarse, asumirlo es tener consciencia de que ciertas situaciones han llevado a eso y que debemos buscar la manera de buscar una salida; no obstante agradeciendo lo poco que tiene y luchar por lo mucho que se quiere.
[eng]I often find it hard to accept or understand how a large number of people find it hard to assume that due to certain circumstances they have to live in a place where they do not feel comfortable. To assume it is not to conform, to assume it is to be aware that certain situations have led to that and that we must look for a way out; however, being grateful for the little that we have and fight for what we want.
Viviendo en un barrio gente tenido una excelente formación academia, logré graduarme de la universidad, he tenido buenos empleos y guerreado mucho para salir adelante, siempre con humildad. No he dejado de soñar, todo lo contrario, cada vez ese sueño se hace más fuerte y voy por ello.
[eng]Living in a neighborhood, people have had an excellent academic formation, I managed to graduate from college, I have had good jobs and fought hard to get ahead, always with humility. I have not stopped dreaming, on the contrary, every time that dream gets stronger and I go for it.
[eng]
Don't be ashamed of where you come from, be ashamed if it embarrasses you. Life is not hard or bad, it's just life and you have to live it, make the most of your time and don't stay in regrets.
