What is it that Patton says in the movie? "I don't want you guys to go out and die for your country -- I want you to go out there and make the OTHER guy die for HIS country!"

I try to avoid sacrifice if possible. But it is a fact of life -- if you want ensure success as a photographer, other areas of your life may have to suffer for it.
