المعنى
Planning for what is to come.
خلفية ثقافية
Finns often use this phrase during the 'Uudenvuodenlupaus' (New Year's Resolution) tradition. It reflects the value of self-improvement. In Finnish work culture, 'looking to the future' is associated with 'innovaatio' (innovation). It is a highly positive trait in a leader. After World War II, this phrase became a national motto for rebuilding the country. It is linked to the idea of not dwelling on past losses. On Finnish Instagram/TikTok, you'll see #katseeteenpäin (gaze forward), which is a modern, punchy version of this phrase used by influencers.
