In a Facebook campaign titled “One Hundred Reasons Why it is Good to Live in Estonia”, President Toomas Hendrik Ilves is urging people to look for positive rather than negative aspects of Estonia. It is possible to give votes to the most popular ideas.
"I like our nature and culture, our frame of mind and traditions. I like our young people, whose pluck and entrepreneurship intermingle with foresighted maturity and positive criticism. I like Estonian musicians, poets, sportsmen, scientists and designers, entrepreneurs, farmers and employees," the president singled out some examples of what he saw as good in Estonia.
As of Wednesday January 4 the three most popular ideas were the ID card, gentle natural forces, and the scientific worldview.
The president's appeal to find 100 reasons why it is good to live in Estonia will last up to the end of January. An earlier campaign launched by Ilves was Bringing Talents Back Home.

Please feel free to correct me by naming the places where T.H. Ilves has worked in the USA or Estonia which have not been on the taxpayers nickel.
Thank you.
Thank you.
You have got to be kidding? Ilves left high paying jobs behind to do something great for Estonia. And he delivered. So you want him to earn the same wage as a dishwasher?
He has been waining in his efforts during the past years. Maybe his time has come to move on and pass the baton, but I respect him for what he has achieved.
I also agree with the first comment. I would like to see more political mileage abroad and less pep-talk at home.

Hr. Ilves should be smart enough to realize that if all Estonian citizens could have his income level from taxpayer contributions, that would be the #1 reason for a good life in Estonia.
