If you have ever been to Montenegro, then you know that Montenegrins are distinguished by their friendliness, hospitality, and also — they never hurry. This approach to life is reflected in the 10 Montenegrin commandments, which can be found on a wide variety of souvenir products: postcards, T-shirts, etc. Montenegrin Commandments:
- A person is born tired and lives to rest.
- Love your bed as yourself.
- Rest during the day in order to sleep at night.
- Do not work — work kills.
- If you see that someone is resting — help them.
- Work as little as possible, and whatever you can — pass on to someone else.
- In coolness there is salvation; no one has ever died from resting.
- All illnesses come from work, do not die young.
- If you want to work, sit down, rest, and the desire will pass.
- If you see that someone is feasting — join in; if you see that someone is working — leave and do not interfere!
But do not think that Montenegrins only drink coffee and never work. The main message of the commandments is that every person should rest more and enjoy life, rather than toil at hard work, sacrificing their health. This is exactly the approach to life that local residents practice. And they advise you to do the same!
