Signification
Finding ways to succeed.
Contexte culturel
The phrase is often used to counter 'Janteloven', encouraging people to be ambitious and creative. Norwegian workplaces are flat, and employees are expected to 'se muligheter' and take initiative without waiting for orders. Norwegian athletes like Karsten Warholm often use this mindset to explain their success in training. In the 'Green Shift' (det grønne skiftet), this phrase is used to frame climate change as an economic opportunity.
