Sisu

My husband was Finnish and very proud of his heritage.  The Finns are quirky.  Their traditions a little different.  As Mike taught me - they don't say kiss my ass, but instead say "heista nupa" - smell my belly button.  One thing about the Finns I admire is what they call Sisu.
 
Google "Sisu" and you'll find a plethora of explanations.  Wikipedia states that Sisu is a compound of bravado and bravery, of ferocity and tenacity, of the ability to keep fighting after most people would have quit.
