Gambatte - Inspiring Word

Gambatte is a Japanese word, that I find really inspiring. When faced with adversity, in my family, we will say "Gambatte", which means to persevere, do your best, go for it. I think of it as buckle-down and face adversity head-on.  It's up to you. Don't feel sorry for yourself.  I really like the phrase, since it motivates you to move forward in a positive way.  We also use Gambatte to describe an attitude i.e. that person has a great Gambatte attitude!
