Arvi Lind: What I have Learned for 40 years as a College Drop-out.

Bio: Arvi Lind is a legendary Finnish television news presenter. He is one of the longest-serving anchors in Finland. He worked as the news anchor on Yleisradio TV1 for over 40 years.

Norms and requirements from the society are not a must, he says.
