One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Last year I was in Thailand with my familiy. One day we visited a huge waterfall were it was allowed to swim. There was a lot of people standing around it just looking , to afraid to get in. And only a few boys had dared do jump in the waterfall. So I decided to do like the few boys and jumped in. And when I got up after the dive everyone around the waterfall was clapping, because no girl had dared to jump in.

On the day of departure from Venice to Copenhagen, I flew over the alpes. And I just sat there looking out the window for 20 minutes, stunned and completely speechless because of the most beautiful sight I had ever seen in my life!! It was really amazing!

Teach, Learn, Share

In Denmark we have a sort of law called "Janteloven". This law says that you must never think that you are someone, you must never think that you are better than any one else and you must not think that you do a better job than anyone else.
And eventhough some people might say that this law is good at keeping people on the ground, I also think that this is a law that generates low selfesteem. This law unfortunately speaks the truth about the common danish opinion. But some Danes really hate this "Jantelov" and has therefor created an "ANTI-Jantelov" which says; you have to believe you are someone,you can be better than others, you can do a better job than others. And this law has been greeted with a warm welcome in especiallly the danish youth.
