I am a Romanian and I am proud to say it!

I never was the nationalist type. I don't care about politics, world politics, races, ethnics matters.

I care for human beings. I care for personal development, spiritual path and so on. I care for nature, animals and people, all in one.

But in this case, I am a Romanian (and NO, Romania is not in Canada for some).

What makes me state this? Let me tell you.

On my path of glory to MySelf (I never stated that I am modest) I got involved in doing some customer service for an US Real Estate company.
This customer service is being done by Romanians, on the phone.

There are cute phone conversation, there are really difficult ones, but sometimes, once in a while, there are calls when the other person is offering jobs in PhoneSex to the ones answering, from Customer Service.

One girl, a Romanian, when being asked if she'd like to do Phone Sex she answered exactly this:

"No, thank you! I am a Romanian, I am too stupid to afford it!"

Wow I say.

Shall the one who made the offer understand that the girl would take his offer if she wasn't a Romanian? Or maybe that all Romanians are so stupid that they can't take a job like this? Or that the people who are doing Phone Sex are smarter than any other Romanian?

I like to think that she wanted to say a nice polite "No, Thank you!" but if she kept the conversation to only saying "No, Thank you" it would have been great!

I don't know what the other person replied when he heard the reason for not taking the offer but I know this:

Intelligence, Creativity, Personality, Culture is something strong related to what the person is and not with the country they are from, the color of their skin, the clothes they are wearing, the music they are listening.

I am a Romanian and I am proud to say that I am a normal human being like any other Asian, American, African human.

the Romanian side of MySelf,
the same MySecret
