It compares focusing on immediate profits and results (short-term gains) versus investing in strategies that may take longer to bear fruit but build sustainable, long-term success (long-term value creation).
which is the best in the long run?
Think you use both to your advantage. Sometimes some short term gains are the fuel for long term value. It's tough to see the light at the end of the tunnel when you're crawling for months (or years). Short term gains will definitely help you get through that.

Absolutely agree on long-term value creation. Chasing short-term gains without having a sustainable business model is super risky. Better to focus on building something that provides real value to customers over the long haul, even if growth is slower. Play the long game!
