A “great” post on being “good enough” from Jordan Rapp. My favourite quote:
“Good enough” is a term that ought to be reserved for the toilets in the restroom at the pool, or the quality of paint of the lines on the road, or the amount of parking at the track.
And I doubt Phelps would say going home with 5 gold medals is “good enough”. Only 3 more to go.
Unfortunately, Canada is starting to think just winning a medal, in any event, is ”good enough”. Hopefully the CBC reshows the interview with fencer Sherraine Schalm after her loss. It’s a “great” insight into what the COC thinks is “good enough” which really is just a reflection what the government and the public think is “good enough”.
