What are you good at? One thing you must understand about us Finns is that we are not good at anything. Or actually, we are good at various things, but actually admitting that would be horrible! That is probably because of our Lutheran upbringing, whereas we are told not to brag. Luckily, that atmosphere is…
Ma’at
How do you balance work and home life? In ancient Egypt, the goddess Ma’at oversaw the balance in life, death, and everything else. It is this universal balance that we humans strive even today.
