good luck very lucky
and sometimes in my life luck had
thus a very decisive role
I will talk about some events for you the
first event in which luck was very
remarkable for me was when one night
rainy, my father coming home from work
suffered a car accident was injured
a little
went to the hospital
My mother went to stay with him there and there.
the next morning a morning of
a lot of rain the flooded city I was born
in a very complicated delivery grandmother cpital e
very possibly if my mother did not
already gone into labor
at the hospital
possibly she or I would not have
survived the chat had a good if
a second lucky moment like this
oversized
when I was five years old I
I was hit by a bus that leaves
house running without looking across the street
The bus that got me I ‘m going to hit with the
head has come to head on the wire
I was unconscious and nothing else did
suffered no internal injury not
broke no bones it was all very cool
the next day I was home
bandage on the forehead and that’s okay
the third moment also very
interesting of luck was when
I was unemployed
When I finished high school I went
called to work in a place that was
well cool and paid really well actually
paid well because he had an additional
health hazard that more than
that doubled the salary was super
dangerous and on account of that
employment despite having made the
I was not going to be able to make the
proof
there and then I quit that job like that
with the 23 days remaining for the
entrance exam
[Music]
all well but missing 23 days for
vestibular test
I quit my job and went to work there
college entrance exam and who will do it
a vestibular test without having studied
do not have a commitment to do this
and I did the quieter test of my
life I came by and I went to my
first vestibular option did not
my only stop there not at that time
People are over 30 years old, right?
everyone who was a college entrance exam
no matter whose son he was
live what career you want to follow
had the first option to study here
In this university there was no exception.
in my time it was something like that
with enem today only that it marked the
options first by choosing and
everyone started with the first ufrj
Half a morning to and ended there
those things kind of barred around 5º
in the morning that staff are
older should remember that good
because everyone wanted ufrj good I
Can I speak for myself are the best?
jobs were offered to those who
was in that university
So everybody wanted to study that it was
better training
certainly had the best teachers
where we learn more and more
fundamental was this
we had a promise of success
Professional it is good to study at ufrj
It was spectacular.
I learned things about what I do not
I knew there was a disk
I discovered a totally different world
It was a very lucky moment to
me people because as my parents did not
studied my father studied until the
third grade primary school year
rural in the interior of minas gerais
statistically speaking the chances of
I get higher education is very
small even more at best
university that had and is lucky people
because I usually say to my
friends that the world is not
meritocratic as we would like to
truth the world is unjust and cruel
We are aware of this.
I fully believe that better people
able capacities of what I
more deserving than I certainly
stayed by the way and I arrived in
And it was really cool, and I
I discovered that there was a postgraduate degree
master’s and doctorate I did not really
had no idea that there am in my
head on my father’s head formed
was who had then finished gym
This is not study after graduation.
it was something that I could not
get out
years later I applied and was accepted
to master here in ufrj and this
was the event that most transformed
my life because the master’s degree gave me a
spectacular training things that I
I learned that I think they are definitive
in building my happiness
but the most important is that the masters
allowed me a few years later when I
I was living a very long time.
frustrating of my career to do
contest and become a teacher here at ufrj
people and this is the best thing in my
life
first because my vocation is the
What I do best to do is do
well, the more I do the better, the better.
class is the thing that excites me know
I leap from
bed to come work and work in
university is the best thing that can
watch everybody
people in this institution we do the
well, there is something better than this
Have you ever thought how bad it must be for?
example working in an arms factory
here we do not have a purpose here
to make people happier and that
it makes a lot of difference
So, it’s a huge happiness.
working here I usually say that being
teacher is the best job in the world and
It’s really good, I’m here at university.
I owe my life she my happiness she
And as he said I have a family.
very big, you do not have four children
today are not very common but here
there are two of my first
marriage of my first marriage
wife are the two oldest and
old man and two babies at antonio alice
antónio will make 4 the list will do
two but three or four years ago
back when the eldest told me that
I did not want to study at UFRJ.
after that moment of anger
people have a
is the first feeling of father when
It looks that it is okay k I took
aware that many people do not
much more to frj as its first
option
several cool people depending on the
career
depending on some other
preferences no longer see ufrj
as the best place to study it
left a little frustrated a bit
apprehensive and really I went through
think what needed to happen for what?
Let’s say 13 years from now.
when the antonialli if they are
Thinking about where to study
those who have as their first
That good university option, I guess.
that we will hear here today several
testimonies several different suggestions
Super cool stuff about what it is
I need to have a legal university
but I really believe that the
main change is in the way
we look at the ufrj as we
we look at everything in our lives in the
way we see the things that the
life brings us as my
luck for example I told you do all
the difference
you can have a more or less attitude
positive according to the things that the
life presents itself and thinking about it in
Our life has some things that are
fruit of our merit in our struggle
it’s our achievements are those
things that might not even be for us
We have but we are committed. Come on.
we fight and we end up conquering this
it is very cool
and of course with more effort people
Do to get what it’s worth
but we have some things that we
They are not the result of our merit in
truth are the fruit of the merit of another
person who has given up on our behalf
are the gifts
when we get a gift the value
does not come from the clear effort to
people did not strive for it the value
is very much associated with
truth to whom he gave us
How much do we admire you estimate that
person who presented us and also a
bit of how much we understand that
that gift was expensive for those who
present the present has something
interesting because it generates a debt
this is not necessarily a debt
returned the present
a debt of how you take care of the
present how you use what you
earned communicates out of respect and
The admiration you have because we
witnessed Ritalin complains that
When she sang I gave you my
heart and you o the on the shelf as
a trophy I do not know who remembers this
music but she’s talking exactly
This is how we treat our
gifts
I really believe that ufrj is
a gift and that’s what I want
talk to you
it is not a gift of government no no
present when the customer and I go there
Let me put something personal to you.
in my perception
the entire resource collected by the state
should have as its main goal to improve
the life of the most deprived
people and we live in a country like
the huge unassisted population of
endless deficiencies also make a
parenthesis a little before patco people 12
years of study in this country is not
matter where you live, it does not matter
Who are you, 12-year-old son?
I study here is elite
then every feature that comes to ufrj
No, I did not go to hospitals.
public stopped going to programs
fight against misery stopped going to the
basic education
and look, it’s not a little money, this thing.
I’m sorry, free university, I
I tell my students that nothing
absolutely nothing free
there is no free lunch if people
because it is in the account the asset sheet and
inactive people costs 1
around 25 thousand per year per student
This is how much a university costs.
face
It’s not cheap there.
and in fact this university so
cool that is very cool to people who
here we know the things that
are not so nice things that
they are cool but this university of
way is very cool and is the result of
my happiness is the source of my
happiness
It costs us every day
the cry of a mother in the hospital and there
Good, I guess, when you look at
this university as a gift what
I think what happens naturally
if you are a student
You will start to devote yourself to your
course as if it were really the thing
most important in the world
You will prepare so much for the
classes that you will get in the classroom and
challenge your teachers and our self
Can I assure you that they will?
be delighted if this happens
No one will think of pasting and never
will see someone predating installations
of the light ufrj that is a present people to

I’m sure not only will it go
enter room to give a better lesson of the
your life but you will have consciousness
that his ethical and moral testimony is
fundamental for the formation of life
of our students
if you are an administrative technician and
also recognizes ufrj as a
gift to you I doubt you
30-hour day freestyle casters
or a certain corporatism and grimace that
round certain places that looks like a
It’s all disgust, I say.
worst part of our congress knows
that nasty thing I think an ex
student who recognizes this university
as a gift
[Music]
He comes back to reciprocate and if God
want an ex-student given price when
I know you will be and who knows.
on this turn he can not offer
a bag for a needy student and not
for example the greater
democratization of this university
Who knows then what I wanted to talk about?
for you today it is fundamentally this
I’m really sorry.
thinking about the ufrj I want for the
my children is the ufrj you have
as a gift a gift
very expensive cable because we are given
for who has nothing
thank you so much
[Applause]
