What is Spain Famous For?

Enjoyment of Life

LIST

HIDE

People from Spain believe in enjoying their lives. If they have an opportunity for enjoyment, the Spanish will take it. This explains why the Spanish have many sayings such as “no stress” or “tomorrow can wait.” Pleasures in life for the Spanish can be a great meal, drinks with friends, or an afternoon nap. This culture also explains why Spain has the most number of bars in a country in Europe.

스페인 사람들은 삶을 즐기는 것을 믿는다. 만약 그들이 즐거움을 경험할 수 있는 기회를 얻게 된다면 스페인 사람들은 그것을 받아들일 것이다. 이는 스페인 사람들이 왜 "스트레스 없음"이나 "tomorrow can wait"과 같은 속담을 자주 사용하는지 알 수 있다.
스페인 사람들의 인생에서 즐거움은 훌륭한 식사, 친구들과의 술, 또는 오후의 낮잠이 될 수 있다. 또한 이 문화는 스페인이 왜 유럽에서 가장 많은 술집을 가지고 있는지 알려준다.

Q. Do you feel that you have to work hard now for you to be happy later, or do you feel that you should enjoy life now?

A. I think being satisfied with life makes a person less ambitious. I don’t know a person who is content when they are trying to make the most of their potential. The moment that you begin to feel satisfied, you stop aiming for higher achievements. I am happy and grateful for all that I have accomplished, but I think I have more to accomplish. I think that we should never be afraid to try something difficult, so that our rewards can be greater. Having said that, I believe we can enjoy life while we are going for our dreams. That is part of what it means to enjoy life. If we have to wait for us to achieve our dreams before we enjoy life, depending on what it is, we may be waiting for a long time. Best to be present in our lives and enjoy our lives now, even while we work hard to achieve our goals and dreams.
