Nope. I learned about sisu from Mika Hakkinen, here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fy8LJx71_9o (starting around 5:40)
I'm about as Finnish as James May, without the British accent. But as 4-letter motivators go, I prefer sisu to HTFU.

Every morning the gazelle wakes up knowing that it must be faster than the fastest lion or it will die
Every morning the lion knows it must be faster than at least on gazelle or it will perish
Each start every day running to survive.
I actually hate to run but most of the other sayings are already posted.

Something a little more serious but no less profound.
“Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow.”

Weakness is just pain leaving the body.
It doesn't get harder, you just get slower.
