Various languages (to sort)

• Sisu - Finland’s concept of stoic determination. Grit, chutzpah, tenacity - whatever you want to call it, the Finns are full of it. Resilience in the face of adversity is a mindset that helps us get through things when the going gets tough.
• Ganbaru - this Japanese word (similar to sisu) roughly translates as slogging on tenaciously through hard times; to strive through a task and see it out to the end.
• Tokimeku - a Japanese phrase translated to ’spark joy’ in Marie Kondo’s Tidying Up phenomenon, although it does usually have a wider meaning of ‘heart-fluttering’ or ‘flourishing’.
• Töörõõman Estonian word meaning ‘work fun’: finding the simple joys in everyday tasks.
• Arbejdsglæde ("ahh-bites-gle-the") is, unsurprisingly, a Scandinavian word. It’s Danish in origin, but is understood around the Nordics to mean "happiness at work". It involves the simple idea of looking forward to Mondays; having a job that energises you instead of draining and exploiting you.
