Contexto cultural

The concept of 'Sakht-kooshi' (hard work) is deeply ingrained in the Iranian education system. Students are often praised for doing 'sakht' things rather than 'easy' ones. Classical poets like Saadi often use 'sakht' to describe the 'hard heart' (del-e sakht) of a beloved who does not return the poet's love. Iranians use the hashtag #سخت_بود (#ItWasHard) to share personal struggles or achievements in a relatable way.
