What are rise of short-term strategies?

Rise of short-term strategies is when people focus on quick wins instead of long-lasting plans.

Imagine you're building a sandcastle at the beach. Instead of taking time to make a strong wall and a big tower, you just throw a few handfuls of sand and stick a shell in it, because you want it done fast so you can run back to the water before the tide comes. That’s like short-term strategies, they help you get something done quickly, even if it might not last long.

Sometimes people choose short-term strategies because they need results now. Like when you're playing a game and you only have 5 minutes left. You don’t take time to learn all the rules; you just do what you can to win right then.

Short-term strategies are great for small tasks or emergencies, like finishing homework before bedtime or saving up for a toy in a week. But if you always pick quick fixes, your sandcastle might wash away when the tide comes, and your big plans might not be ready when they matter most.
