what money can buy

You met a long lost friend in the city, looking happy and presumably successful. He wear stylish clothes and drive the latest model of ever-expensive car. "Ah, if only I could have those."

But, would you pay the price?

He paid the price, he's wearing his hard work. You could do the same if you want to. The truth is we would go as far as we can to get what we really want.

The secret is, you've got to really really really want it. Your desire can drive you further than you could imagine.

Some people even had to pay a higher price than we have to should we want the same thing. But, what makes them got it? They don't wait for a cheap bargain. Buy it at the price it costs. Easy said than done, yes.

The last thing we want to happen in the end is, even we ourselves cannot understand why we had been so stingy to spend the 'money' which could never be kept for future use. C'mon my dear, you might as well spent it for a good cause!

I personally like this one:
Don't let the fear of the time it will take to accomplish something stand in the way of your doing it. The time will pass anyway; we might just as well put that passing time to the best possible use. ~Earl Nightingale
