Default Pain for pleasure?

NOTE: This is NOT a sexual topic -- get your mind out of the gutter

Ok.. I was thinking to myself about having to put up with some pain to get a goal in the end (something that's pleasureable to you). I'm sure almost everyone has gone through this.. so I was wondering...

» Do you know of someone (or yourself) who went through a lot of hell to get something that (to you) didn't seem worth all the trouble?

» Do you know of someone (or yourself) who went through a little bit of hell to get something that (to you) seemed like didn't put enough in to get out?

Umm... I once got five bucks for running into a bus stop thing with a bunch of people in it. That was fun.

Hmmm.. that's all well and good, but I'm talking about like maybe having to give up something or lose something in order to gain something else..

Yeah. I gave up my forehead for gaining five dollars.

Do you still have your forehead now? Thought so.

No, I mean like someone giving up something to get something else.. something that meant a lot to you.

Yes, I gave up my beloved pet penguin chico for eternal life.

Hehe, nah seriously, I can't remember, so I mustn't have given anything that important up.

I give up one elective every year to band, but my teacher is kind of mean so I don't know whether this is pleasure time...

It's worth it though. Next summer we're going to the Sydney Opera House in Austrailia to compete with others around the world. Maybe I'll see one of you guys.

Hmm.. how was I able to tell.. let me try and give an example:

I'm in love. I've given up just about my whole world just to get this girl.. just to hold her in my arms..

That's what I mean.. I've given up tons of things, just go get this girl.. now, they might not be material possessions, but my thoughts, value systems, and other things like that: gone - for her.

Hopefully that will help

Well the only thing that comes close is the fact that I had to give up my irst ame Boy to my brother if I wanted a Nicer New one, I did it, but I'm kicking myself now, because my old GB was the original Style Monochrome GB, not GB Pockect, not GB Color, Not GB Advanced.

No.. not quite what I was thinking of.. but uhhh... try thinking outside of material possessions..

Maybe like this:

This guy worked for 12 years as a janitor just to work his was up in a company.. he spent 12 years cleaning piss off the floors, and all the over-flooded toilets.. just to move up in a company.
