The fact remains that some of our Goans still refuse to accept that good things can come from Portugal too. If one Goan publicly writes a good thing about Portugal, 20 other people will criticise him/her regardless of what he/she has written is true or not. I have come across several curriculum vitae from some Goans who have asked me for advice on how to get a job here in the UK. Most of these Goans have recently come from Goa as Portuguese citizens. Usually, you write your citizenship in a cv/resume, right? Well, instead of writing "Portuguese Citizen", these Goans often write "European Citizen". It is almost like they want to hide their relation to Portugal - their own country of citizenship! They are not aware of how ridiculous this situation is at the eyes of a potential employer. Of course I do not save any words of criticism to these shameful Goans! They are nothing else but opportunists. Hopefully, employers pick up on these things and I know many do. A person who hides his/her own citizenship cannot be trusted. I would immediately bin a cv of a person who writes "European Citizen" as citizenship. One has to be proud of the citizenship one holds regardless of one's origin. Employers know extremely well which countries are in Europe and which are part of the European Union. If one writes "European Citizen" instead of writing his country of citizenship, that can only mean he/she is hiding something. And a cv/resume needs to be as clear as possible.

What is the reason why anybody should feel shy to make publicly known on this forum that the commemorative postcard to honour Abbe Faria is going to be issued by Portugal (instead of attributing this gesture to the "European Union")? There is not going to be a "European" postcard but a "Portuguese" postcard. Dom Martin approached the postal administrations of three countries directly associated with the Abbe: of Portugal, of France and of India. The Portuguese Postal Administration was the only one, of the three, to respond favourably, even though Dom's approach was made after the 2006 programme of postal issues had already been approved for execution. The issue of the Abbe Faria commemorative postcard on the 31st of this month has therefore to be taken as being made extra-programme and as a special gesture to honour the great scientist who, during his lifetime, brought glory not only to France where he developed and practiced his theory on hypnotism but also to Portugal, the country of which he was a citizen, and to his native land of Goa. - Dom is, I understand, hopeful that the Indian and French Postal Administrations will give due consideration to his request (supported by a number of signatures) in 2007. -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
