A strategy is like a recipe. If the ingredients are right and you follow the steps, it turns out delicious, that's success. But if you mix up the spices or forget to stir, it might end up inedible, that’s futility. In politics, strategies are like recipes: some work well with the people involved, others don’t.
Examples
- A baker who forgets the sugar in the cake recipe ends up with a flat and tasteless dessert, that's a futile strategy.
- A general who plans to win the battle but sends half his army on a wrong path loses the war, that’s a failed strategy.
- A politician who promises too much without backing it up gets voted out, that’s a futile promise.
