SISU: The Finnish Concept of Resilience

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.

Bruce lee: King of Martial Art

Saudia Flight 163 was a flight that used to regularly fly between Karachi to Jeddah. 19 Aug 1980 was a normal day for that flight and pilots completed the first leg of the journey at Riyadh. In the second leg, the flight had to start from Riyadh and it started normally. Soon after takeoff, pilots observed the smoke in the compartment and decided to go back to Riyadh for an emergency landing. The flight with 287 passengers and 14 crew onboard landed successfully at Riyadh Airport. But all of the passengers and crew died just because of smoke even after taking successful emergency landing. Similarly many times we used to ruin our life even after starting our career well.
There are certain personalities who always inspire us to excel in life. Bruce Lee is one such person who achieved so much in life at a very early age. If we think about speed or Martial Art then his name used to come in our mind. He died at a very young age of 32 but what he had done in such a short time is really unimaginable. Apart from being a great martial artist, he was also a talented movie actor. His karate speed was so high that the cameramen had to make his scene slow so that the audience might not think that the shot is fake. Bruce Lee had the capability to punch a person standing at 3 feet distance in 0.05 seconds. He spent his childhood in Hong Kong where his father used to work as Opera Singer and actor. He got influenced to learn martial art when few goons entered his city and started harassing citizens. He started learning a martial art to teach those goons a good lesson. After learning martial arts, he started fighting those goons frequently. This made his father very anxious and he sent him to the USA for better career prospects. In America, he started struggling for getting some roles in movies.

He developed an exceptional talent in martial arts by doing regular and intermittent practice. In 1969, he had written a letter to self which clearly indicated his optimistic mindset. He was very clear that very soon he will become a very big star. Some excerpts from the letter " My Definite Chief Aim, I, Bruce Lee, will become the biggest Chinese Hollywood star. In return, I will give my best performance. I will become popular across the globe by 1970. I will earn 10 million dollars by 1980. I will live in my way and achieve inner harmony." After four years, Bruce Lee left this world but whatever he achieved in those 4 years is really unimaginable.

He had written this letter when he was facing a shortfall of money and no one was ready to take a Chinese actor in Hollywood films. Shortly his father died and he got a fracture after which doctors told him to discontinue Martial arts. But he never discontinued his practice and look what he had achieved. Friends we all know that goal statement is very important in life and Bruce Lee clearly showed the importance of the goal statement. Let's make our goal statement today and start working immediately to achieve those goals.
