What I Have Learned From Estonia
40, Swindon, Suurbritannia

Estonians are different than the English folks. I refer to the social psychology. Estonians are quiet. English people are outspoken.


One will hardly see people shouting in public places unless they are Russian, Finnish or British. In England, people talk loudly in the marketplace. It is considered normal. In Estonia it is the opposite.


Estonians work 12 hours a day (while receiving minimum salary), in England people work only 8 hours per day and get decent wages. Despite of the salary differences, Estonians, in general, are happier. In England most people aren’t. How could that be so?


In Estonia, people are more realistic. They focus on the importance of life; family, education, work and better future! In England — most people value endless entertainment, materials and socialising.


Estonians are active and willing to face life as it is. Estonians can teach us that life is not about gathering materials or being spectators. They remind us that life is really about living. And to experience our lives, we must be active.

Thank you for the comment. I study Estonians and Estonia. I got back from Tallinn 20 days ago. I'm writing a book on Estonia. Hopefully it's out in Feb 2017 If God Wills.

Where did you learn your English? It is excellent!:)
