Man In The Glass
EL HOMBRE DEL ESPEJOCuando en tu afán personal consigues lo que quieres
Y el mundo te corona por un día
Solo acércate a un espejo y mírate en él
Y observa qué tiene que decirte ese hombre
Porque no es de tu padre, ni de tu madre, ni de tu esposa
De quien tiene que venir la aprobación
El tipo cuyo veredicto más importa en tu vida
Es quien te devuelve la mirada desde el espejo
Puede que haya quienes piensen que eres un buen amigo
Y te consideren un tío estupendo
Pero si el hombre del espejo opina que eres un desperdicio
Y no puedes mirarle a los ojos…
Ese es el tipo a quien debes complacer, a ningún otro
Porque es él quien va a estar contigo hasta el final
Y habrás superado la prueba más difícil y arriesgada
Si consigues que el hombre del espejo sea tu amigo
Podrás toda tu vida burlar al mundo entero
Y recibir a tu paso palmaditas en la espalda
Pero el dolor y la tristeza serán tu recompensa
Si has engañado al hombre del espejo.
-- Discurso de despedida de Bill Parcells a su equipo el 3 de enero de 1999. Título original “El tipo del espejo”, por Dale Wimbrow

A poem that goes by many names, and unfortunately, has been seen as “anonymous” or credited to others. Dale Wimbrow is the rightful author of this insightful poem that explores life’s meaning, who we are in it and the importance of self-reflection.

This poetic rendition of a life lived, or even less lived, is one that resonates to the souls of they whom question if they had made a difference in their lives and the lives of those closest to them. When the vision that reflects from the mirror is not recognizable, nor undisguisable, it then will be what one of the commenters below, Shane K. Floyd, Ph.D., mentioned, "a time marked by genuine self-introspection." Moreover, if you cannot look in the mirror and like what you see then I would be inclined to agree with Bill Parcels, that, "you have cheated the person in the glass" but it is not too late to make a change.

Coach BillParcells, placed emphasis on the importance of reckoning with self. A time marked by genuine self-introspection, is a time marked by asking "am I becoming my best me." If there is no room for betterment in correction, we could very well become a danger to ourselves.
