뜻
Doing something without external help.
문화적 배경
The phrase is linked to the 'Polak potrafi' mythos, celebrating the ability to fix or build anything with limited resources. In Polish startups, 'własnymi siłami' is the equivalent of 'bootstrapping' and is highly respected by early-stage investors. During the partitions, Polish education and culture were often maintained 'własnymi siłami' of the people through secret societies. There is a massive trend on Polish social media for 'metamorfozy' (makeovers) done 'własnymi siłami' to save money during inflation.
