No bad weather
Growing up as a kid here in Sweden probably one of the first proverbs you hear is:
det finns inget dåligt väder
bara dåliga kläder
This literally translates to ”there is no bad weather only inaccurate clothing” – i.e. dont whine about the weather because you can’t change it. Adapt to the situation and wear the appropriate clothing (because no matter you are going outside ;-).
I find this inspiring and very true in many situations in life (personally and professionally), there are some things that just are what they are and you can’t change them. However there is an array of actions you can take to master the situation and get through to your goal.
