Best Country in The World : Norway.

4 Lessons To Learn From The Best Country in The World.. 



Imagine living in a country that take care of all your needs, from the smallest to the biggest ones. You get benefits you never imagined and your lifestyle is maintained as well. Sounds like a dream right? Well, there is a country , where paternity leave for both parents is the norm, children get social security, healthcare is free, and the states pays for your wedding ceremony (at least the church and priest) and your funeral.

From many countries' perspective this would sound like it is hard to believe but in Norway it is a reality. A country of five million people, Norway has one of the highest standards of living in the world, and has been voted the best country to live in for nearly 10 years in a row.

And therefore there are a few lessons we should take from this Scandinavian country and apply to our thinking and our daily lives.



-Learning to JanteLoven: The concept of Jante Law is widespread around Scandinavia, but in Norway, it is known as JanteLoven; a code of social behavior emphasizing modesty, collectivity, and social equality. In essence, it suggests that no one is better than another person, and that we should not brag about our skills or be too proud.

- Celebrating equality: Norway is currently number one on the World Economic Forum's Gender Gap Index. The Workforce is made up of 75% women, women occupy one - third of the seats in Norwegian parliament and in 2003 and the parliament passed a law stating that 40% of all companies' board members must be women. It's also the best place in the world to be a mother. Mothers can get 10 months of full pay while on paternity leave, and fathers help out, too..they get 10 weeks of paternity leave during the first year of the child's life.

- Appreciating what you have: poverty and hunger does not really exist in Norway. Norwegians genuinely understand their privilege and feel the need to use it for aid and development efforts around the world. And no matter how you feel about government or taxes, having a mindset of appreciating what you have and helping those less fortunate is a good thing.

- Ga Pa Tur : Ga Pa Tur translates "to take a walk" ---with no other goal then actually walking. In Norway, there is no destination or no rushing --- they love just walking, picnicking, or simply experiencing life outside. We often lose sight of what is around us in the rush to constantly adopt the philosophy of Ga Pa Tur --- and surely it would help us significantly de - stress and enjoy the little things in life.

These 4 small things to learn from the world's happiest country could definitely take us places and we could benefit from these in our lives on a daily basis.
