After Tokyo, we should bring the Olympic charade to an end | David Goldblatt | The Guardian:
„Ask the Finns, who abandoned the state-sponsored pursuit of medals and spent the money instead on active transport and accessible facilities. They barely win anything any more, but they have the most active and healthy old people in the world. In Britain we have a sack of gold and an obesity crisis.”
Focusing on results, just for the sake of results, is a wrong way of solving problems.
The best option? Work on the long run.
Don’t find an arbitrary goal, focus on long term.
