"We all understand the value of sacrifice, even if that only involves setting aside dessert so as to lose weight, or putting money in the bank so as to later buy a house.

For that to happen, one has to learn how to think emotionally and physiologically."

"To sacrifice one's unhappiness for a good cause is something I fervently believe in."
