Reach

There seems to be a slight difference in the way that Finns and Americans think about reaching for things. While in Finland:


"The one who reaches for the spruce tree...


...will fall onto the juniper"

in America they recommend you:

"Reach for the stars!"

I think it was my Mom or some other teacher who said that if you reach for the stars, at least you probably won't end up with dirt on your hands! J

True, very true. At the same time I feel like not so many people should be reaching for the stars during these days of global climate change, as it must be an awfully energy intensive endeavor.
