Relationships, work, and school all require making sacrifices to gain something. For example working requires giving up free time to make money, school also takes free time to study, and in a relationship time with friends is lost, but a girlfriend is gained.

Relationships, work, and school all require sacrifices to gain something. The thing that is sacrifices the most is time. Giving up time allows a lot to be gained. Things cannot be truly gained without losing something.
