Bedeutung
Opportunities still exist.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Norwegians value 'dugnad' and self-improvement. This phrase supports the idea that one can always contribute or learn. The concept of 'Janteloven' (Law of Jante) sometimes discourages standing out, but this phrase is used to counter that by encouraging personal growth.
