Needed Clarification

My previous post seems to have left too much room for misinterpretations, so I thought of posting a few clarifications on the matter.

The people the post referred to:

  • Those who keep using the word “shit” when they refer to Romania and Romanians;
  • Those attacking everyone else on false basis (that post was awful, all Romanian journalists can only write about celebrities) and trying to look smarter than others in a strive to promote themselves;
  • Those who complain about everything that exists, but who have never tried to change anything;
  • Those making ridiculous generalizations: all Romanians are stupid/looser/lazy etc (some are, but that is true of all nations)
  • Those thinking the only way to be appreciated is stating they are something other than Romanians. I’d say it is only the easy way!

Things I do not believe in:

  • There is no way to have a good life in Romania unless you have connections or rich parents
  • Everything made by a Romanian in Romania sucks;
  • I have no chances here and no way to go someplace else;
  • Limiting myself to complaining will ever help me.

Yes, many prefer the easy way. I will never promote it though. I choose not to. I choose to ask for more. From me, my friends, those around me, my future and everything I can think of.

Hope this helps :)

    All clear now :). I agree with you in most of the
    points, it is true, and I’ve always said it, that you CAN get a good
    life in Romania if you try hard. Actually, you have to try hard in
    Romania and you have to try hard in any other country. Unfortunately,
    there are very few things you can get for free and with no efforts
    (like, for example, air conditioning in Carrefour in summer; I used to
    take advantage of it last summer when I lived in Regie). For everything
    else you have to work hard, but there’s nothing better in the world
    that getting that thing you have worked hard for :). Kisses :) and
    thanks for forgiving me :P

    Always and kisses right back at you :)
