Introduction In a world filled with challenges and setbacks, the quest for resilience has become paramount. Resilience is more than just overcoming hardship; it's about flourishing in the midst of it. And when it comes to resilience, few cultures embody it as profoundly as the Finns, who have a word for this indomitable spirit: Sisu. Sisu, pronounced "see-soo," is a unique Finnish concept that encapsulates grit, determination, and courage in the face of adversity. It's an intrinsic quality deeply embedded in the Finnish psyche, influencing how they approach life's challenges. But what exactly is Sisu, and how can we incorporate this powerful mindset into our own lives? At its core, Sisu is about perseverance in the face of extreme adversity. It's the ability to summon inner strength and tenacity when confronted with seemingly insurmountable obstacles. While resilience is a universal trait found in every culture, Sisu has distinct characteristics that set it ap
A person was driving his car during the afternoon. He was far away from his town and going to another town for a meeting. While driving over a bridge he felt that something is wrong with his car and he is sure that one of the tires must get punctured. He came out of his car and observed that the rear tire of the right side got punctured. He got really annoyed and started hitting the road by his foot as he has to change a tire in scorching sun heat. So he has taken out car jack and removed all four bolts of the tire and kept them nearby. Now he started pulling the tire with a force and while doing so his foot hit the bolts and all of the bolts dropped into the river. He becomes saddened now as there are no chances of getting the mechanic and started cursing himself.
More than 2 hours passed but no one came, suddenly he saw a farmer was coming from somewhere. The person was sure that a farmer cannot help him. Farmer asked him how he can help him. The person becomes annoyed and told him that you cannot help me as bolts of my tire dropped into the river. The farmer told him that there is a shop of mechanic 10 km away from here and you can go there by using 1 bolt each of other tires by slowly driving. The person becomes happy and asked the farmer how you have given the solution so easily? The farmer replied that there is only one difference that you were thinking about the problem but I was thinking about the solution.
So, friends, we can be solution-oriented or problem-oriented. When Maharana Pratap had very fewer elephants in his army as compared to Mughals then he put the fake trunk on his horses so that elephants will think they are an elephant and do not harm the horses. So he didn’t focus on a problem that horses were less but he found a solution and made those horses elephants.
We can take inspiration from Dhirubhai Ambani also. He didn’t think that his financial condition was very bad but he sold Pakoras and also worked at a petrol pump in Yemen. He was a solution-oriented, not a problem-oriented person. He worked a day in and day out to become the richest person in India.
Let us read a motivational quote:
In gardishon ke
baadalon pe chadh ke
Waqt ka girabaan
pakad ke
Puchna hai jeet ka
pata
Har har maidan fateh
There are two ways of examining and critiquing things in life. You can look at problems and talk about what should not be done or you can look at things and examine how you can make things better. One way of looking at things finds lots of problems that need fixing. The other way looks at how to improve things whether there are problems or not. So we must change our mindset now.
