9 things to learn from the Swiss Bashny.Net

For someone Switzerland – pure Paradise on Earth, but someone seems to be the most conservative and boring country in the world. However, the high level of Swiss life does not challenge anyone. How can that be so? About the Swiss, anyway, it turns out about the social structure. Because Switzerland is the system first, and then the people.





 

Quality in everything, not just watches and chocolates

How do you think what, primarily, is the phrase "Swiss quality"? To the clock? Reliable banks? Chocolate? The correct answer is: everything. Including Park benches, public transport and coffee machine. If a product or service are relevant to Switzerland, the company producing it, will by all means strive to justify the label "Made in Switzerland".

For the Swiss "Quality" (Yes, with a capital K) is a sacred cow. In one of the polls is "quality" and "neutrality" residents called the greatest strengths of his country. In the study Country Brand Index, Switzerland is not the first time becomes a role model in the economic, political and cultural structure of society. And this story is not only about large companies, but also about the common man. Our neighbor, the farmer, every morning brought a few bales of hay for his goats, so he is not lazy every morning to stir them, making sure that the herbs are hand-picked as it is necessary, otherwise the milk from the goats is not that quality.

Namusorili? – Get! The environment is our handiwork To the word about the environment. For the third year in a row Switzerland is recognized as the most environmentally friendly country in the world. All because the Swiss fundamentally have solved the problem with waste: sorted and processed everything. All the garbage that can be classified in: paper, glass, PET, aluminium, batteries, light bulbs, etc., is collected in certain days brought to the recycling center. Yes, we have to keep the house for 5 types of waste bins and to buy special bags (the garbage may be disposed of only in them). Yes, here everyone pays for 2-4 francs per kg for the amount of waste that produces. But processed 70-90% of the waste land no poisoned, you can drink the water from any stream.

As I said, our neighbors, Christine and the novel: "For us it is not a duty, it is a tribute to the stunning nature, among which we live. It gives us a lot. And we feel that we can do for her a little, how to sort our waste".

Children should be allowed to grow independent of the Mother as a vulture hanging over ditthi it so you don't hurt yourself or do something? Dad, publicly raising a son? Here you will not see this. Children under four years of flying on two-wheeled bikes on the steep streets, a little older – self go to play on playgrounds in the forest, the students go to school by bikes, buses and trains.

Here a unique system of education: the children go to school for 4-5 years, 2-3 years in a school where after the 6th or 9 th grade pass the exam for admission to the gymnasium, where a direct route to University or choose vocational training. Many choose the latter, so it is common to see very young nurses, engineers or teachers, which, however, excellent training and experience. And their work is very popular.

Education is not a luxury or a necessity, it is an investmentIn Switzerland 12 universities, 4 of which are in the top 100 best universities in the world. Now all the universities are translated on a private basis, and what do you think: making money on the students? No. Improve the quality :).

The quality of education in the Swiss universities is checked by a special audit by the Commission every 6 years. The higher the quality of education in universities, the higher their international rating, the stronger students tend to get into them, the more powerful the graduates, praising their universities appear at the output of the system improves itself.

Decent pay for work: young adults ( age Discrimination? Or profession? This is not about Switzerland. Young people went to work as teachers, nurses, technicians wages initially starts with level 2500-3000 francs a month and not rigidly attached to the experience. So motivation is maintained.

While honored workers also do not give too much to rest on our laurels. A University Professor with international recognition and scientific awards, will receive not much more than its counterpart, ordinary Professor. Because, if you compare their current workload, you determine that it is not much different. I have already talked about teachers ' salaries, and as for high schools, here young people to go into science I wonder: graduate students in the doctoral program can earn up to 40-50 thousand francs a year, which is a good start for a young scientist.

Long – term planning- around the head6 in the evening, and you haven't thought of that you will have for dinner? Woke up late, the stores are closed. Found out Saturday night that he forgot about the Sunday picnic that you want to buy products? Similarly. Switzerland quickly learns to plan purchases for the days ahead. The Swiss consistently vote against increasing the duration of the work shops because it will hurt their employees, and especially families that contain family shops, relax and participate in the life of the commune.

Accordingly, do not expect that any other work you will perform at an inopportune time. And not because they are lazy, but because not necessary, not customary, family is waiting for lunch, and on Sunday even to clean the house will not. Because it's the weekend! Respect for private holiday lets the Swiss in the workplace to be more productive. They said: work less for more profit1 and satisfaction.

Spend time with friendsWorried that there is no place to meet interesting young man or girl? Swiss this problem was solved, at least halfway. They figured out where to meet, but "how" depends on you.

An apéro is the key to the establishment of friendly relationships or romantic Dating. Aparo is similar to the American happy hour, or aperitivo in Italian, only much larger and more multifunctional. It is possible to gather with colleagues after work or with friends, and this usually means a very wide circle of invitees. If you know anyone of the participants, apero, then you can safely join the company. So new acquaintances are fastened, both romantic and business. Gather for a cocktail or a bottle of wine can have someone at home, but more often at the bar or in the Park. Good apero usually smoothly flow then at dinner, talk about life and ones experience.

Our differences only make us stronger With a population speaking in 4 different languages, professing different religions, Switzerland has managed to live without strife a couple of hundred years. Because Protestants and Catholics, French-, nemeto-, Italian - and romanogobio there is one uniting all platform: "We are the Swiss". National pride here is taken seriously. Almost every Swiss served in the army and went to camp. Authorities in the field and in the centre respect the traditions and customs of each Canton and its inhabitants, which, in turn, leads to a reciprocal respect for people.

The power should belong to the people. No jokethe Vote in the Canton of Zurich

Looks like a real direct democracy? In Switzerland. Here local governments have more authority than the Federal, and every Swiss citizen can make a proposal, law or amendment to the Constitution, having collected the necessary number of votes in support. On average, the Swiss are voting at least 4 times a year. Therefore, all the important laws that affect the daily life of the country, are by the will of its citizens.

For example, the Swiss voted unanimously against the anti-Smoking restrictions, also unanimously rejected the idea of holding the new Olympics in the country, they self-regulate the level of taxation in their cantons, they banned Canadians to mine the gold in their mountains, and introduced the income ceiling for senior executives. Yes, so they lowered the inflow of investments into the country, but kept the rest of its inhabitants. The case is known, in the priorities. published
