“Agreed. Combine hard work with frugality and saving. That is the way to likely wealth.’

Ditto. The only things I have ever acquired in life were through my own efforts and hard work. I never minded it.

- I’d hire you.

Spirit matters, CVs don’t.

Where I live, there are people who don’t wish to work; junkies, drop-outs ans so on, but the main cause to why my home city is a place where money is a second rate issue in life is Lutheran work ethics.

We have even been successful teaching Muslim immigrants our culture (but no, I don’t want more of them).

Scandinavia is weak in the department of church attendence, but extremely strong in Christian culture.

You have the right attitude.

Don’t hesitate to throw your kids/neighbors/local politicians into a hockey rink.

We Swedes are liberal and fair, but perhaps not all that sparing in terms of ice hockey. It’s on.
