to trust one's instinct

意味

To follow your gut feeling.

🌍

文化的背景

Finns value 'silent knowledge' (hiljainen tieto). Trusting your instinct is seen as a sign of expertise and deep connection to one's environment. In Finnish startups, 'mututuntuma' is often discussed as a valid starting point for innovation, provided it's later backed by data. Finnish schools encourage students to develop self-reflection, which includes learning to trust their own judgment and instincts from a young age. The phrase is often used in the context of wilderness survival, reflecting the Finnish history of hunting and gathering.

💡

The -oon Rule
