There seem to be something to learn from Scandinavians :-)
Scandinavia is not a religious country, but a lot of people are spiritual, and maybe this is one part of our happiness. I will post an old classic here, that will never die, because it is relevant in age of the world. Lets make this our goal! Enjoy!
There is actually a lot to learn from Scandinavians. I know some people from Sweden, but I guess they’re probably not too different from Norwegians or the rest of Scandinavians. I learned to love so many things about them and their country, but if I had to say one thing that surprised me the most (probably because I’m Italian)… I asked them if they could tell me one thing, just one about their country that made them quite happy. They answered: - well, maybe… maybe we are quite sure we could say our politicians are honest .
ReplyDeleteWhaaatt! =) Is honest a word that can stay close to politicians? I don’t know if that’s true, but they were quite confident about that. Once again, I’m Italian, I guess it’s easy to understand how much I would pay to have the same feeling. If I could have that feeling, my country would probably be in a better position in that survey.

Hahahah! Wow, yeah, that is funny. I think the Scandinavian mentality sometimes can be a bit naive. I know I was before I started traveling around...a thing that always opens your mind in many ways. But I think, yes, compared to other countries there is a high level of honesty in Scandinavia...and that also include the politicians. Even though I would never trust a politician for sure, no matter where they are from ;-)
ReplyDeleteBut if you are Italian, I can see hwo that is shocking. Have some Italian friends that tell me a lot about for insistence Berlusconi, errrh hehe :-P
