Vi anser vårt oppdrag som løst gjennom avleggelsen av denne

challenge. They sought the best advice. They didn't
worry where the ideas or coaching came from if they
could benefit Norway. They adapted useful lessons
and valuable practices. There are no sympathy points
for being a small country at the North of Europe.
The Olympic message is simple: you must be better
than everyone else to bring home the gold.
Norway's golden harvest in Albertville was astonishing.
The team didn't win by complaining about other
athletes. Champions don't simply watch others in
action. They get onto the field where the action
takes place . Norway's Olympic example is a message
and possibly a warning.
Norway can win in other fields. Everyone who celebrates
Olympic success recognizes merit . Championship
attends excellence in every field. Excellence
is the mark of pride and its reward. It reveals the
dignity of the spirit. It is a mark of the moral
achievement distinguishing those who do the best
with what they have.
Comparison is the method of this report, not its
purpose. We do not look at others with envy or
regret; we observe them to learn. Our task is to
offer recommendations for excellence . We propose
ideas for incremental improvements and quantum
leaps. The purpose of this report is a contribution
to Norway's future, a Norway that carries the
Olympic torch out of the stadium into daily action,
into the arena where Norwegians live and work.
The Olympic lesson is clear. Insist on excellence.
Don't accept complaints, excuses or envy! Four
million players are the team. Chamionship Norway is
the goal."
Vi vil hevde at det må være mulig offensivt å møte de
mange utfordringer som her ligger til beste for alle som
vil ha glede av at Norges renomme ute og hjemme styrkes.

si uten unntak skje gjennom samarbeide i Prosjekt
