How inspiring are the Finnish to me – They are known for their gentle stoicism, toughness, tenacity and calmness, and these character traits are reflected in the concept of Sisu, which stands for the philosophy of that which must be done, must be done, whatever it takes. I find this deeply inspiring, as it speaks to the strength, stamina and willpower needed to persevere in the face of adversity. Shaped by decades of harsh environmental conditions and external threats (foreign invaders), the Finnish have developed a remarkable determination to overcome what might seem insurmountable.
