The sacrifices you make today will pay dividends¹ inthe future.

 

今天的牺牲和努力未来都会有回报。

 

When it comes to working hard to achieve a dream –earning a degree, building a business, or any other personal achievement that takes time and commitment² – one thing you have to ask yourself is:

 

"Am I willing to live a few years of my life like many people won't, so I can spend the rest of my life like many people can't?"
