For an answer, people have always looked to the past, to the ancient truths and values. This does not mean escaping to the past, but we could bring the values from the past into our present programs. Those who were present at the birth of the Estonian nation named the need to become spiritually grand as the national idea. Developing that line of thought on the threshold of the new century, we could set for us as a goal to be small, but smart. Smallness in today's world has benefits.
Small structures are easier to change.
A small nation can do new things that for large nations and states is impossible. Using our smallness wisely, we can become smart fast. Barren land will not give birth to Estonian Nokia or other enterprises. For them to occur, decades of work, and investments into wisdom and industriousness, are needed to raise the quality of our nation. That will require from all of us a united will and united conviction.
