I am not tired of my work, neither am I tired of the world; yet, when Christ calls me home, I shall go with gladness.
Adoniram JudsonRead
There is no success without sacrifice. If you succeed without sacrifice it is because someone has suffered before you. If you sacrifice without success it is because someone will succeed after.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Success often requires personal sacrifices, and one's achievements may come at the expense of others.
Adoniram Judson's quote emphasizes the interconnected nature of success and sacrifice. It suggests that true success cannot be achieved without some level of personal sacrifice, whether it's time, effort, or resources. Moreover, it acknowledges the collective nature of human achievement, where the successes of one are often built on the sacrifices made by others before them, and that future successes will similarly depend on current sacrifices.

When most people ask about a business growing, what they really mean is growing revenue, not just growing the number of people using a service. Traditional businesses would view people using your service that you don't make money from as a cost.
