While studying in most countries will require handing over an often-hefty tuition fee, Finland has somehow managed to keep university education entirely state-funded - even for international students. Primary schooling begins the year the student turns seven years old and is provided at no cost to the pupil. Information sources: Top Universities. Education State University

The thing with our Finnish president is that he sees himself as equal as anyother finn and is not above anyone. Care about everybody else. This was really seen a few years ago when he travelled from Finland he was in economy class on the aircraft reading a newspaper or when he went on a for him interesting event at a auditorium and the seats were full so he saw that and sat down in the staircase and was 100% fine with that and didnt want to disturb anyone or when he was as a president shoveling snow from his own home and journalists photographed him and basicly told them that its fun to do these normal things. Theres alot of high rank people that can learn from him!

Sauli has been in contact with Putin through all these years, diplomacy between the west and Russia. Really like his wisdom and empathy. He has two more years until another president needs to be elected, but i fear there will be no equal in Finland and also in Europe that can have a direct dialogue with Putin. Sauli used to be a lawyer, I suppose the moral and wisdom comes from that background, and those traits seem to make good officials.

During the Winter War a Soviet general hears someone shouting from the woods - "One Finnish soldier is better than ten Soviet". Angry, the general sends ten man to deal with annoying Fin. After a brief period of shots and dying Soviet's screams, comes another shout - "One Finnish soldier is better than one hundred Soviet". So the general sends one hundred soldiers and again none of them comes back. Then the general hears a third shout - "One Finnish soldier is better than a thousand Soviets". Furious, the general sends a thousand men to deal with him. Soon a great battle is heard from the woods, then a silence, then the panicked voice of the last surviving Soviet, "Don't send any more troops, it's a trap...there's two of them!"
