The only way to win an auction is to be the highest bidder.

There are no tricks, gimmicks, or shortcuts that will change that. The person that is willing to pay the most, wins. Period.

So why is it that we think that life is any different? Why is it that people will look for ways to win in other areas of their life, without putting in the effort?

The concept of life is simple, and it follows that of the auction.

He who is willing to pay the most, wins.

Take this episode as a lesson, coming from the military, as to what it really means to win, make sacrifices, and pay the price that it takes.
