Long-termism is difficult but the results are beautiful.
Long-termism is a practice of making decisions for long-term goals or outcomes. It is not just a methodology, but a value that emphasizes attention to long-term impacts and sustainability, rather than just focusing on immediate interests and short-term gains.
Japan's century-long football plan perfectly embodies the charm of long-termism.
In 1988, hope for football in Japan was completely lost; it was too weak. The last straw was in 1993 during the last match of the World Cup qualifiers, where Japan only needed to defeat Iraq to qualify for the World Cup, but the result was obviously not as hoped.
Reflecting on the pain, Japan officially set a six-month football plan in 1996, with the ultimate goal of winning the World Cup by 2050.
In the subsequent bumpy development, Japanese football finally welcomed its shining moment.
1️⃣ They reached the finals in the World Cup for seven consecutive tournaments and made it to the top 16 three times.
2️⃣ The Japanese men's football team ranks 15th in the world.
3️⃣ Japanese football performed exceptionally well in 2024, with a record of 13 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses throughout the year.
They may achieve the World Cup championship by 2050 ahead of schedule.
This is the result of long-termism; although it was very difficult in the beginning, as long as one perseveres, the results will definitely not disappoint.
The 365-day construction plan initially set by kheowzoo has a market value of over 100 million. It doesn’t matter how difficult the early stages are, as long as you choose to believe and persist in the long term. It can definitely be realized.
