Fui um atleta errático, confesso. Gostava mais do aspecto lúdico do esporte, do divertimento, do convívio com os companheiros de tatames, quadras, raias… Andei por muitas modalidades, tendo levado mais a sério a vela, com passagens por três classes. Foram os plantões como jornalista nos fins de semana que me afastaram de vez desse esporte. E foi o jornalismo que me aproximou dos atletas de alto nível, olímpicos, quase semideuses. Por muitos anos, mergulhei na história de supercampeões, e nenhum deles me falou de um caminho coberto por pétalas de rosa, de vitórias que não tenham sido construídas sobre derrotas, muita dor e muito sofrimento.

É uma gente diferente. O que nós, pessoas comuns, precisamos ter em doses mínimas esses atletas têm em doses cavalares: talento, determinação, disciplina, entrega, resistência, superação, garra, técnica, força… São, o tempo inteiro, competidores, é a competição que os alimenta, que os move. Querem ser, a cada dia, melhores do que eles próprios, querem ser melhores do que todos os outros. É natural neles, é legítimo, não há como condená-los por isso, nem pelo desejo nem pela proporção. Eu também quero me superar e superar os outros, mas, num nível olímpico, isso é mesmo para poucos.

É irreal um mundo sem competição, sem meritocracia, seria como um esporte em que só fossem distribuídos prêmios de consolação

A questão é que continuam sendo pessoas aqueles que buscam um lugar no Olimpo, estão sujeitos a esbarrar em limites, técnicos, físicos, emocionais… Nem todos querem se arrastar até a linha de chegada, nem todos veem nisso uma vitória. É uma questão pessoal, interna. Até grandes atletas podem querer, podem decidir se afastar, mesmo que momentaneamente, do peso da competição. Fato é que jamais viveremos longe dela, e relativizar vitórias e derrotas, isso também tem seu limite.

Não sei que gerações sucederão à minha, com tanta gente nova levada ao coitadismo, ao vitimismo, protegida insanamente e falsamente, claro, de dores e sofrimento. É preciso tolerar a desistência, mas não enxergar nela um ato de bravura, coragem e heroísmo. A vida tem fardos, e há desejos que não serão realizados. A perfeição sempre escapará, o que se deve buscar é o mérito. E nunca será fácil, ninguém falou que seria. É irreal um mundo sem competição, sem meritocracia, seria como um esporte em que só fossem distribuídos prêmios de consolação. Um mundo sem derrotas é um mundo sem vitórias. E um mundo feito apenas de empates jamais existirá.

  28. Today, while I was at work, my sister stole my iphone and tested to see if it can survive a 30 foot
    drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now destroyed and she has
    83 views. I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it with someone!

  29. An outstanding share! I’ve just forwarded this onto a coworker who had
    been doing a little research on this. And he in fact bought me
    breakfast simply because I found it for him…

    lol. So allow me to reword this…. Thanks for the
    meal!! But yeah, thanx for spending the time to talk about this subject here on your blog.
