Janteloven 3 - The Queen speaks out



We must then be careful that due to a misunderstood modesty we end up living under the so called Laws of Jante.  True, they are very Danish, but they are dangerous, if we end up passing these laws on to future generations. Let us turn the Law of Jante on its head and say: "Don't believe for a minute that you are nothing!" We must believe in our own worth, believe that our lives mean something.
