Out of the 45 odd countries, I would have travailed in my life , the question usually asked to me was, which was the best country to live?
In terms of Beauty, culture, food , architecture, etc I think almost all countries have their unique place, but when it comes to quality of life relative to the current living of a person, then the choice would get reduced to very few countries in the world.
For me ,the most beautiful country with a very special quality of life comes from " Norway". A small Scandinavian country , however, extremely beautiful and magical with its environment. The Norwegians themselves are also very unique people. The class that sets them apart is their philosophy towards life. The whole thing is like a Spiritual Development of the soul of a person as against the material layout of the society. The beauty is in its simplicity.
The Norwegians like all Scandinavians are locked into bottle, however, there is still the highest order of Honesty which mankind can experience.
The only problem is the very very high cost of Living. Almost astronomical cost and very high tax rates. This makes impossible for any potential immigrant to settle easily in the country.

Optimum - The Child Development Code
" Optimum"
A very simple word , but the least understood.
Modern Schooling or for that matter schooling from time immemorial has largely focused on development of a child, fit enough to survive the jungle rules of a modern society. So inherently weak human beings, learn to control greed, anger, passion, jealousy, filth, hostility, corruption, lies, etc etc and also learn some marketable skills, which would keep them afloat in the society in general.
What Schooling never teaches a child is the concept of " Optimum ". Which is the very fine balance between less and less and more and more. The net result is a personality defect , which then lingers on for the rest of life.
Each one of us has this personality defect, where we do not know our cut off point on most issues. We follow blindly either, what the society does in general or instinctively what is exciting for our nerves. And the net result is unbalanced broken personality, which is good in some areas, but worst in many areas.
It is because , we have not learnt early on in life, that " Time " needs to be optimized, we tend to squander this vital resource on working extremely hard in life, but with very little output. More and more people I meet in life and I find that each of them complains of lack of Time. And the answer is lack of Optimization. I find people generally working for 12 hours each day.
So, if you start your day at 6 in the morning and by 8, you are driving to your office and return home by 8 pm. Then the time which you give your family is from 8 pm to 10 pm and invariably you are so tired that you would hardly bother to know, what is family all about.
Now, if you would have learnt the concept of Optimization early on in life, you would leave the office at 5 pm sharp and be home by 5.40 and spent the full evening with your family. You would have spent time on movies, theatre, books, neighbours, restaurants, games, etc etc. But unfortunately, it is the Rat Race, which keeps people bound to their desk.
If only a child was taught early on in life that Time was a vital resource and one had to optimize time for games, for studies, for learning, for eating etc and within the activity, again there was an optimum limit for each action, the child would have early on learnt the allocation of each resource to an optimum level.
Some children are born smart and some take time to develop, but this is genetic, so forcing kids to work harder then what is required rarely pays off. In fact , it always turns the child against the parents. But making a child realize that setting optimum goals early on in life helps build a beautiful future.
But first of all, the Teacher himself should know, what is " Optimum"
