"Your mom used to tell me this Chinese proverb. Eat bitter-" "Eat bitter, taste sweet. I hate that proverb." "But it's true. What do they call it these days-no pain, no gain? Same concept. You do the easy thing, the appealing thing, the peaceful thing, mostly it turns out sour in the end. But if you take the hard path-ah, that's how you reap the sweet rewards. Duty Sacrafice. They mean something."
