“What’s so special about being a Myanmar/Burmese”, you asked? We are not trying to say that being a Myanmar/Burmese is the best, nor are we trying to make other races inferior. Of course, everyone should be proud of their root, their heritage and the place they came from. And we are Myanmar/Burmese, so we should be proud of it.
So what a lot of people you meet in other countries have no idea where Myanmar/Burma is. It doesn’t make you deficient as a person. But let us concentrate on why you should be proud of being a Myanmar/Burmese:
- Myanmar/Burma is a country with a lot of natural resources and beauties. It’s no doubt that the country is one of the most favorite destinations in Asia for travelers.
- Almost every Myanmar/Burmese practice burmese cultures and traditions till date. For example, a good Myanmar/Burmese will never swear at the elders whether they are right or wrong.
- 89% of the entire population believes in Buddhism. Buddhism is a religion and philosophy based on the teachings of the Buddha, SiddhÄÂrtha Gautama. Not only is Buddhism considered a major world religion, it is also the only religion in this world whose aim is to end the suffering of cyclic existence, samsara (PÄÂli, Sanskrit), by awakening the practitioner to the realization of true reality, the achievement of liberation (nirvana). [More]
- Religion is part of the everyday lives of the Myanmar/Burmese people. Yes, Myanmar/Burmese people are religious, but they are not overly religious.
- True Myanmar/Burmese are sharing, caring, and loving. What more could you possibly ask for in a person?
- Myanmar/Burmese people are often complimented for their friendly-and-simple nature.
- Myanmar/Burmese people are the most courteous people that one could ever come across.
Of course, there are some areas where people in Myanmar/Burma are considered as less fortunate, but let’s not go into that, because this should be all about how you should be proud of being a Myanmar/Burmese.
Disclaimer: We are not ignorant, we are just concentrating on the positive sides of being a Myanmar/Burmese. If you have any positive thing to say about being a Myanmar/Burmese, please comment away.

i am and will always proud of being a myanmar/burmese.
foreigners to myanmar always see our country with respect.
however i do believe that no country today should dwell on things which are granted.
even america, new orleans wouldn’t believe beaten by katrina.
i read that myanmar never swear at the elder whether they are right or wrong.
i don’t think that it is a positive thing to pick up and proud as a myanmar.
do we don’t want to rock the boat?
do we not dare to express truth?
do we not critical?
rather we need to change that culture.
i heard the other day from bbc about corruption in our country.
in burma perspective it talked about our people hardly criticised those who become rich by bribry and corruption and enjoy at the events hosted by them as they meant and pretend to do good things.
we need to learn accountable, we need to strong, we need to built.
not a time to dwell on positives.
may be true in 1950-60 when all southeast asia countries looked upon myanmar.
it’s gone.
myanmar is far behind all those countries.
-good looking people? that counts…^_^
when a friend is inneeds , a burmese would drop everything to give him a hand. ,that is how we burmese are.
when someone is hunry we wouldl share our last bowl of rice with her, or thristy we would share our last drop of water ..
my am just so proud to be a burmese.
to ko zaw, not swearing at elders is a uniqueness of being Myanmar. I know we live out of Myanmar and our way of thinkings have been influenced by those somehow silly behaviours. I guess being ambitious and looking up is good in life but for those who are still living in Myanmar have no choice to make their lives better. I am referring to people have no backgrounds. So religion is their only way out to foget all the things they suffered. Please analyze yourself speaking out loud in Myanmar will take you nowhere but to Insein. Sometimes it’s very for us to criticise on things as we are not in their situation. Just pray for the better future!!!
Well I am proud of being half (50%) Burmese.. and I agree with most of the facts stated on above article. But there are always loop holes in things.. being polite and couterous leaves us being naive in community. A lot of bag eggs amoung us.. a small group of people taking advantage of nice people in the country. I’m quite sure you guys know what I am referring to here. So in Burma, we have selfish, blood-sukers, power grabbers who are taking advantages (in a huge way) of their own kind! What a shame.. but the other hand, we all are human beings, so we are surviving as we go.. so all the best luck for those still living/surviving there.. I say prayers for you guys each and every day! God bless Burma. xoxox0
no body can say god bless burma i am very very proud to say i am from burma my face is some one see me than people ask me from india or pakistan i am always angry i am proudly told them i am from burma when i donot have to work than i go back my country golden country and beautiful people i am proud i am from burma
you mentioned of Buddhism as a Burmese character that we should be proud of. I do not mean to be a religious critic, but I find that we should be ashamed to call ourselves part of a Buddhist community. Because less than 0.5% of our population can barely keep the 5 percepts. Can you?
But yes, I am proud to be a Burmese. Just not proud to be calling ourselves Buddhists, it tarnishes Buddhism.
I am a Malay from Malaysia and I am very proud to marry a very preety and beautiful Myanmar lady. We stay in Malaysia and go to Yangon every six months. We have a daugther age 6 years now. Our family are very happy now, and we always visit each other during a festive season. My wife family will come to Malaysia during Hari Raya and my family also will visit them in Yangon.
Thank you for your input, guys.
