To be among the leaders.
زمینه فرهنگی
Poles are very proud of their 'IT czołówka'. It is a common point of national pride that Polish developers rank in the top 3 globally in various coding challenges. During the 'Adam Małysz era' (ski jumping), the term 'czołówka' was used daily in every household to describe Małysz's consistent performance among the world's best. University rankings (like the 'Perspektywy' ranking) are a huge deal in Poland. Being 'w czołówce' of this ranking determines a university's funding and prestige. The 'Lista 100 najbogatszych Polaków' (List of 100 richest Poles) by Forbes is a major annual event where the 'czołówka' of Polish business is analyzed.
