  3. We are proud about our country. But we need to criticize ourselves. We need self criticism to evolve as a nation. The vanity should not make us blind.

    We have to realize that we live in country full of resources but managed by a few interested only in their own wallets. Its clear, don't you think?

    The result of this kind of management is the poverty and the ignorance. And its consequences. Need examples? take a look at this: http://soniferailha.com/2010/10/brasileiro-reclama-de-que.html

    Please, come off it... the nation is not happy just because some advertising says we are. The advertising wants to be our friend when it says we are beautifull, strong, smart. As a friend we buy more from its company.

    Hehehe.. its funny when you realize.

  4. Being Brazilian means to be part of a diverse and wealth nation.
    Brazil is a rich nation with a great potential to become one of the most important country in the world, in the near future.
    The diversity comes from the people and its miscegenation and from the environment.
    This mixture of races created a flexible, interesting and friendly culture.
    Maybe Its helps us to accept the differences.
    Brazilians love music and art. Are very creative, hardworking and very religious.
    But Brazilians need to learn how to take care of nature and the well-being of their cities.
    I am a Brazilian from the Northeast region of the country, and descendent from Portuguese, African and Native
    So I’m a Northeaster, a kind of person who is speaks slow, is warm hearted, friendly and loves life.

  5. The Brazilian people are known to be happy, friendly, hospitable and diverse. It's true. Despite so many odds, we never lost hope that tomorrow will be better than today. But we aren't perfect! We are also very prejudiced! We discriminate each other by skin color, manner of dress, religion and social class. We also aren't punctual and believe that everything can be resolved with a "knack". But the Brazilian people are too warm and not ashamed to show afection.
    After all, Brazilians are proud of belonging to their nation.

  7. To be Brazilian is to be hopeful, to believe in things that we can get and improve always, is to have persistence, be courteous, be patient, be intelligent to survive in the midst of blatant corruption that persists.

  9. Hi People

    If you look a tour country 20 years ago, we were a country without direction, delay and without expectations. Today we are on the well way. We are the country’s future. Our index of growth show that let the wind in pulp, but we must always remember that we need improve. Then, brazilian is to be hopeful, confident and ball forward.

  10. In realy i don't know!

    Sometimes i think that is cool, be the happiest people of universe.
    Sometimes i think that be a brazilian is be a quiet people, that wait that everything be resolved one day and no fight for the rights.
    A people that prefer soap opera than a book, a concert of pagode than the school, the street than your home, be coarse than be polite, finish the high school and never more study, college, no way!
    The happiness that we think have, doesn't exist, the brazilian people prefer see that what more easy than see the reality.

    The brazilian people need to wake up!

  11. I guess that it's to be brave. Even with all the difficulties we are a happy folk, that (like the propaganda says) never give up. And, after all, even with many problems, we can still have many good moments here.

  12. I think that being brazilian is to be a singular people. Not just because of happiness or mood! We are the people with more diferences in the world. We are white, black, etc... We like things now and after other things.. We want everything and, in the same time, we seem don't know the wanted.
    Anyway, I think that being brazilian is live with the difficult and to go learning like live with its - however anyone teachers to us. We can see joy where others people doesn't see. We can make joke with the things more crazy. We live without many worries about a far tomorrow.. This all is good or is bad.. Think about this..

  13. I will say what i saw in TV(but Lenon says before):
    I'm a brazilian and never give up.

    Be a brazilian is believe in a better future even without a good conditions of health, safety and school for our people.

    But...the 2014 Soccer World Coup will be here!!!
    that's awesome!

  14. It´s difficult to talk about something that is inherent to us. But I think, above all, to be Brazilian and belong to this land is to respect it as our country of origin. Doing your part with each other and trying to be the best for the country. Each of your way! I don´t believe it has a right way. I guess we didn´t discovered yet. But we can do it from a social and environmental care to economic and politic interference!
    It may seem cliché, but I think being Brazilian is expecting a better Brazil!

  15. Be Brazilian is to complain about your country all the time, but if a foreigner do this you defend Brazil and say: it is perfect, there's no better place to live.
    So, be Brazilian is to love your country in any situation.
