Think Like a Bronze Medal Winner, Especially in Economic Development
An Olympics-related metaphor to guide your professional development as an econ dev.
With the Olympics underway in Japan this month, I caught a snippet of a medal ceremony. I don't remember what sport it was for, but I did notice something fascinating: while all three athletes on the podium looked very happy, one of them had the most captivating look of triumph on his face: the bronze medal winner.
Imagine that you were one of those medal-winning athletes, and that you were standing on that podium.
