gambaru

Do your best in whatever state that you find yourself in. The process is most important. The outcome is irrelevant but what matters is that you did not give up! You did not quit! You did not fall short of meeting your obligation. In whatever situation that you encounter do your utmost best.

If I am diagnosed with an incurable disease I "gambaru" with this challange. A single mother of 4 who can't pay the bill I "gambaru" until days get better. I loss a limb in a car accident I "gambaru" under the adversity.

gambarize

I will try harder
I will do my very best

A word created by an illustrious member of the internet sumo community.
Its a play on words of the Japanese word gambaru -gambarimasu, a succinct word best translating to "I will do my best".
Sumo Rikishi (wrestlers) when being interviewed often end with Ganbarimasu, 'I will do my best', but when translating to English the feeling in the word gambarimasu is lost, it lacks heart.
"gambarize"
sounds stronger and is a conjunction of gambarimasu and 'ize' in English, (to make more, become) eg: modernize.
Therefore gambarize means to try harder to do my best and an apt word for the tough training and rigours of sumo.

He is still young and has to gambarize.
I need to gambarize my sumo.
He himself says he will gambarize and climb back up the ranks.
I just want him to gambarize.
Great keiko. I'll have to endure the pain and gambarize!
Well, all I can do is gambarize the best I can.
