Think of a coconut
It is hard on the outside
And soft inside
Just like Norwegians
It takes great effort to crack the shells of Coconuts
You need special tools to reach their soft side
Just like Norwegians
Norwegians may feel hard from the outside
But they are very nice inside
Give it a little bit of time
Leave space
Be independent
Invest time carefully
Control your emotions
Involve yourself
We have been working hard to provide tools to help Norwegians understand how they may be perceived
And foreigners to discover and appreciate the soft side of Norwegians
