Etymologically, \u201csisu\u201d (pronounced see\u2019-soo) comes from a Finnish root word that implies \u201cinner\u201d or \u201cinside.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Finnish culture, it\u2019s about adopting the attitude of persistence and determination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSisu is not momentary courage, but the ability to sustain that courage. It is a word that cannot be fully translated. It defines the Finnish people and their character. It stands for the philosophy that what must be done will be done, regardless of cost,\u201d according to Finlandia University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s often described as stoic determination, the tenacity of purpose, grit, and resilience. It\u2019s a form of courage that is presented in situations where success is against the odds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s about persevering your way through challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt is a compound of bravado and bravery, of ferocity and tenacity, of the ability to keep fighting after most people would have quit, and to fight with the will to win,\u201d The New York Times explained in 1940.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sisu is doing what\u2019s necessary even when it\u2019s difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sisu may be a Finnish word, but it\u2019s a universal trait, says Joanna Nylund, author of Sisu: The Finnish Art Of Courage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
