Spain's Cultural problem

One of the biggest problems of Spanish economy is employees' mediocre mindset.

Against the thought of some experts, the problem isn't just the Crisis, in which I include all the 'small' crisis we have at the same time: real state crisis, the public debt crisis, the financial crisis or the labour market crisis, but people's behaviour under some extreme circumstances.

Since 35 years ago, Spain's been a modern and democratic country, where all the society moved to become equal in rights and duties. But for the past few years, Spain has lost the spirit to improve and learn. From school to the job market, through high school and university, Spanish people join the mass, feeling safe in the knowledge that behaving like the others, you become part of them and noone is better than other. We've been waving the flag of democracy and equity, but forgeting that being equal is not a result, but a starting point to grow and become better and why not, set differences between people.
Now is time to change our minds and support these young people with willingness to improve and learn, instead of laughing at them if they try to speak better english or get better marks in maths. 'Nerds' are not anymore 'Nerds'. They are well educated people with knowledge and capacity to be better day by day. 'Nerds' are the future and present of a society that has been for too much time leaving them out.
