2. JURNALISTUL OCTAVIAN CURPA\u015e (Phoenix Magazine \u2013 Arizona)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Born on August 1972 in Oradea, Romania, Octavian Curpa\u015f reached the Promised Land in March 1997, after working for three years as editor of a newspaper in Romania. He lived in California for eight years, after which he relocated – in March 12, 2005 to the city of Surprise Arizona, USA. That same year, he arrived in Arizona, he married with his wife, Roxana, who worked as a dental assistant. Both endowed with the power of hard work and diligence they have opened their own business in real estate which they are still currently working in. On May 19, 2009 they received the best gift from God, their first child, little Janice, this name was chosen for its special meaning “God is gracious.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Writer, journalist by vocation (with higher education in journalism, international business and legal sciences), Octavian Curpa\u015f is an important name of the press today. He writes with grace and dedication to several U.S. publications, but also in Romania, he is editor of publications “Colorado Beetle” and “Phoenix Magazine\u201d. I always imagined that the journalists should have certain traits: love of literature, people, nature\u2019s beauty, love of their craft, a competitive spirit, compelling in their writing, dedicated to their calling, gifted, having a keen sense of observation and reason, in short, proving a deep love for everything around them, being honest to themselves, i.e. to their thinking and judgment, honest to the wrong and being ready to provide help with the broad views of their mind.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I thought and I think, journalists should not let appearances or situations hinder them, to be discerning in what they see, hear and write, to be honest to themselves, certain of their ideas and thoughts, honest\u00a0 to the readers, able to help others with his wisdom, by expressing thoughts through words on a newspaper page, humble and not arrogant, but to be honest and\u00a0 transparent, to have dignity, not giving in to the challenge or the insults, to be humorous with the humor of the Romanian spirit when needed, with which readers can smoothly comprehend, without frowning because of the everyday challenges of life, not rancorous, but friendly and serene, able to admit that they may fail; know when to ask, in this case, needed apologies, be bold, courageous and love of God. Octavian\u2019s articles are succinct, i.e. have maximum information with minimum words. With great certainty, manifesting these traits from the soul and being able to bring them to the surface and use in such a beautiful career, polishing them, for the people\u2019s good of the society in which we live.<\/strong><\/p>\n

All these qualities are found in Octavian Curpa\u015f, flowing through his body, having that “vein” of journalism from which he fielded countless interviews, dialogues, and articles, highlighting the special people and often providing the gems of a society which we all like to know better. He, also, distinguishes himself through his activities of literary criticism. He is able to distinguish a good book from a bad book and has the talent to find authors who tend to shy away, but whose works deserves to be discussed and be removed from the ordinary crowds, and he does so with talent, with thoroughness and depth of understanding. In his writings he intelligently captures the idea and message of the book, by highlighting the essence of the literary work and ultimately creates inspired summaries.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Unlike some writers which treats lightly their profession, omitting many “pearls” of writings, Octavian Curpa\u015f prefers to make a brief monograph of the books, to highlight the hidden beauties created, giving them shine, as Cioran once said: ” When you write a book you, never know who’s fate will be forgotten … A book or a book without echo can always come back to life. “. Just as literature is the art of the work, written through artistic expression that gives to the writers imagination, feelings, being part of the social phenomenon, so is the art and literary criticism, and to one who ventured to this, even more it is required to be more than just a writer. So, there is mandatory a cultural knowledge, both in quantity and quality. Octavian Curpa\u015f has this cultivated knowledge and always thirsts for it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am convinced that all newspaper journalists, such as those from “Colorado Beetle”, have enjoyed a career full of enthusiasm, optimism and ideals. The number of magazine subscriptions has grown, and increased, and as the years will go by, the journalists and the youth talents will be more beautiful as before, because they will have to benefit from the mysterious light, which will flow from their hearts, committing their journalistic wonders onto a beautiful creation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Celebrating you means to celebrating us, to live with a great job satisfaction, because we can say with pride, and each of us can say: \u201dI am your colleague!\u201d <\/strong>
\n May the Lord give us health, to enjoy what we accomplished!<\/strong><\/p>\n

May you continue with a happy and beautiful year in review, together with the staff management and its employees!<\/strong><\/p>\n

A ales pentru \u00eenceput California unde a locuit timp de opt ani, dup\u0103 care s-a stabilit \u2013 din 12 martie, 2005 – \u00een ora\u0219ul Surprise din Arizona, Statele Unite. \u00cen acela\u0219i an, dup\u0103 sosirea \u00een acest stat, \u0219i-a unit via\u021ba cu Roxana, de profesie asistent dentar. Am\u00e2ndoi \u00eenzestra\u021bi cu putere de munc\u0103 \u0219i h\u0103rnicie \u0219i-au deschis propriul business \u00een domeniul imobiliar \u00een care lucreaz\u0103 \u0219i \u00een prezent. \u00cen data de 19 mai 2009 au primit cel mai frumos dar al Domnului, primul lor copil, micu\u021ba Janice, nume ales de p\u0103rin\u021bi pentru semnifica\u021bia deosebit\u0103 \u201eDumnezeu este \u00eendur\u0103tor”.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Scriitor, publicist de voca\u0163ie \u015fi jurnalist (cu studii superioare \u00een jurnalism, \u015ftiin\u021be juridice \u015fi business interna\u021bional), Octavian Curpa\u015f este un nume important al presei zilelor noastre. Scrie cu har \u0219i d\u0103ruire la multe publica\u021bii din Statele Unite, dar \u0219i din Rom\u00e2nia; este redactor la publica\u021biile \u201eG\u00e2ndacul de Colorado” \u0219i \u201ePhoenix Magazine”. \u00centotdeauna mi-am imaginat jurnalistul ca un iubitor de literatur\u0103 \u0219i oameni, cu un caracter frumos, cu dragoste de meserie, acea emula\u021bie scriitoriceasc\u0103, chemare, talent, spirit de observa\u021bie \u0219i de dreptate, dragoste pentru tot ce este \u00een jurul s\u0103u.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Am crezut \u0219i cred c\u0103 jurnalistul nu trebuie s\u0103 se lase p\u0103c\u0103lit de aparen\u021be sau de interven\u021bii, s\u0103 aib\u0103 discern\u0103m\u00e2nt \u00een ceea ce vede, aude \u0219i scrie; s\u0103 fie cinstit fa\u021b\u0103 de sine, adic\u0103 fa\u021b\u0103 de g\u00e2ndirea \u0219i judecata sa, cinstit \u0219i fa\u021b\u0103 de cel care gre\u0219e\u0219te \u0219i c\u0103ruia \u00eei sare \u00een ajutor cu deschiderea judec\u0103\u021bii sale, expus\u0103 \u00een cuvinte, pe pagina unui ziar; s\u0103-i lipseasc\u0103 \u00eeng\u00e2mfarea, arogan\u021ba, dar s\u0103 fie integru, tran\u0219ant; s\u0103 aib\u0103 demnitate, s\u0103 nu se lase ispitit de provoc\u0103ri, insulte; s\u0103 aib\u0103 umor, desigur numai \u00een situa\u021bii posibile, acel umor specific spiritului rom\u00e2nesc, cu care poate descre\u021bi frun\u021bile cititorilor, \u00eencruntate din cauza provoc\u0103rilor cotidiene ale vie\u021bii; s\u0103 nu fie ranchiunos, ci prietenos \u0219i s\u0103 admit\u0103 cu senin\u0103tate c\u0103 \u0219i el poate gre\u0219i; s\u0103 \u0219tie s\u0103-\u0219i cear\u0103, \u00een aceast\u0103 situa\u021bie, scuzele necesare; s\u0103 fie \u00eendr\u0103zne\u021b, curajos \u0219i cu iubire de Dumnezeu; articolul lui s\u0103 fie concis, adic\u0103 s\u0103 aib\u0103 maximum de informa\u021bie cu minimum de cuvinte. Cam multe cerin\u021be \u0219i totu\u0219i, pentru o at\u00e2t de frumoas\u0103 carier\u0103, merit\u0103 s\u0103 cau\u021bi aceste calit\u0103\u021bi \u00een sufletul t\u0103u \u0219i s\u0103 le sco\u021bi la suprafa\u021b\u0103, s\u0103 le cizelezi, pentru binele oamenilor, al societ\u0103\u021bii \u00een care tr\u0103im.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Toate aceste calit\u0103\u021bi le-am descoperit la Octavian Curpa\u0219. Prin trupul s\u0103u curge acea \u00ab v\u00e2n\u0103 \u00bb de jurnalist \u0219i aceasta se simte \u00een nenum\u0103ratele interviuri, dialoguri, \u00een care \u0219tie s\u0103 uzeze de calit\u0103\u021bile respective, sco\u021b\u00e2nd \u00een eviden\u021b\u0103 oameni deosebi\u021bi, de multe ori v\u00e2rfuri ale societ\u0103\u021bii care merit\u0103 s\u0103 fie mai bine cunoscute. \u00cen activitatea de critic\u0103 literar\u0103 are capacitatea de a deosebi o carte bun\u0103 de o carte proast\u0103 \u0219i talentul de a descoperi autori care stau cu sfial\u0103 deoparte, dar a c\u0103ror opere merit\u0103 s\u0103 fie comentate, s\u0103 fie scoase din anonimat, \u0219i o face cu talent, cu meticulozitate \u0219i profunzime a \u00een\u021belegerii. \u00cen cronicile pe care le realizeaz\u0103, prinde cu inteligen\u021b\u0103 ideile \u0219i mesajele c\u0103r\u021bilor, pune \u00een lumin\u0103 elementele pre\u021bioase, valoarea literar\u0103 a lucr\u0103rilor \u0219i \u00een final creeaz\u0103 titluri rezumative foarte bine inspirate.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Spre deosebire de unii cronicari care trateaz\u0103 cu superficialitate opera, omi\u021b\u00e2nd multe \u201eperle” ale scrierilor, Octavian Curpa\u0219 prefer\u0103 s\u0103 realizeze o concis\u0103 monografie a c\u0103r\u021bii, s\u0103 scoat\u0103 \u00een relief frumuse\u021bile ascunse ale crea\u021biei, d\u00e2ndu-le str\u0103lucire, fiindc\u0103 bine spunea Cioran: \u201eC\u00e2nd scrii o carte nu \u0219tii niciodat\u0103 care-i va fi soarta\u2026 O carte uitat\u0103 sau o carte f\u0103r\u0103 ecou poate oric\u00e2nd s\u0103 revin\u0103 la via\u021b\u0103.” Dup\u0103 cum literatura este art\u0103 a cuv\u00e2ntului prin intermediul c\u0103reia scriitorii dau expresie artistic\u0103 imagina\u021biei, sentimentelor, fenomenelor sociale, tot a\u0219a \u0219i critica literar\u0103 este art\u0103, iar celui care se \u00eencumet\u0103 s\u0103 o fac\u0103, i se cere chiar mai mult dec\u00e2t unui scriitor, existen\u021ba obligatorie a bagajului culturii, at\u00e2t din punct de vedere cantitativ, c\u00e2t \u0219i din cel al calit\u0103\u021bii. Octavian Curpa\u0219 are acest bagaj \u0219i este un ve\u0219nic \u00eensetat de cultur\u0103.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sunt convins\u0103 c\u0103 to\u021bi jurnali\u0219tii ziarului \u201eG\u00e2ndacul de Colorado” au intrat \u00een via\u021b\u0103 \u0219i-n carier\u0103 cu entuziasm, cu optimism \u0219i cu idealuri. Num\u0103rul apari\u021biilor revistei a crescut, va cre\u0219te, vor trece anii \u0219i ei, jurnali\u0219tii, vor fi \u0219i mai tineri \u0219i mai frumo\u0219i ca la \u00eenceput, fiindc\u0103 vor avea acea tainic\u0103 lumin\u0103 pe chipuri, ce va izvor\u00ee din sufletele lor, s\u0103v\u00e2r\u0219ind adev\u0103rate minuni ale crea\u021biei lor jurnalistice.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Domnul s\u0103 ne dea s\u0103n\u0103tate, s\u0103 ne putem bucura de ceea ce \u00eenf\u0103ptuim!<\/strong><\/p>\n
