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.
I'll have to endure the pain and gambarize!
Well, all I can do is gambarize the best I can.

Striver 

Share definition Flag
The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.
Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.

Successful strivers:
- Barack Obama
- Harold Koh
