Leaders are interested in gains. However, they acknowledge that there is no gain without pain. They embrace the pain.

Never forget, that in pain lies gain; if we want early pleasure, we'll miss later treasure. Don't forget. Work hard!

A leader’s cross is the temporal pain they go through and his crown is the permanent gain when at last victory is achieved.

Leaders do what is uncomfortable but helpful. They run away from the comfort that doesn't produce any help for the world.

When you complain, you explain pain for no gain. Endure and balance yourself through the pain, be hopeful and persist to the end.

Shake hands with today; it is here already. Bid farewell to yesterday; it’s gone already. Never let yesterday’s pain rob you of today’s gains. Drive yourself positively!
