En Japón, cuando dicen, Ese señor tiene un carácter fuerte, uno va a mirar al japonés y uno dice, Sí, ese profesor tiene un carácter fuerte, me dice
¿Verdad?
Y iba a mirarlo, preocupado
¿Ese?
…y era un hombre así…
[Él imita a un hombre, impasible, medio dormido].
¿Ese señor tiene carácter fuerte?
Sí, tiene un carácter fuerte.
¿En serio?
Sí vaya y empújelo y verá.
Yo luego lo empujaba así
Ah, perdón!
Y el maestro hacía así….
[Él imita el mismo un hombre, impasible, medio dormido pero ahora empujado por un lado como si nada le hubiera pasado.]
No pasa nada.
¿Carácter dice?
Él nunca se pone bravo. Eso es un carácter fuerte. Domina su temperamento
En Latinoamérica, cuando dicen Él tiene un carácter fuerte, uno va a mirar y hay un señor gritando a todo el mundo.
Él no tiene un carácter fuerte Tiene un carácter débil.
Porque lo que tiene fuerte es el temperamento y no lo domina con su carácter
Desarrollar carácter es poder dominar el temperamento.

In Japan, when they say, This man has a strong character, one goes to look at the Japanese guy and is told, Yes, that teacher has a strong character.
Really?
So I went to see him, worried.
What, this guy?
And the man was like this...
[He imitates an impassive man, half asleep].
This man has a strong character?
Yes, he has a strong character.
Are you serious?
Yes, go and push him and you’ll see.
So, I went and pushed him like this.
Oh, sorry!
And the Master did this…
[He imitates the same impassive man, half asleep, but now pushed over to one side as if nothing had happened to him.]
Nothing happened.
Character, you say?
He never gets angry. That's a strong character. He masters his temperament.
In Latin America, when they say He has a strong character, you go and see and there's a red-faced man shouting at the world. He doesn't have a strong character. He has a weak character. Because what is strong in him is his temperament, and he doesn't master it with his character. Developing character is being able to master your temperament.
