General principle that can be applied to your money dealings:
"...by doing the things they don't like to do, they can accomplish the things they want to accomplish. Successful men are influenced by the desire for pleasing results. Failures are influenced by the desire for pleasing methods and are inclined to be satisfied with such results as can be obtained by doing things they like to do." ~Albert E.N. Gray, Prudential Life
