Thank you for posting that.

• "Law of Jante"

  Scandinavian term to negatively describe a condescending attitude towards individuality and success,...

  The ten rules state:

• You're not to think you are anything special.

• You're not to think you are as good as we are.

• You're not to think you are smarter than we are.

• You're not to convince yourself that you are better than we are.

• You're not to think you know more than we do.

• You're not to think you are more important than we are.

• You're not to think you are good at anything.

• You're not to laugh at us.

• You're not to think anyone cares about you.

• You're not to think you can teach us anything.

  These ten principles or commandments are often claimed to form the "Jante's Shield" of the Scandinavian people.
