[Odessa Dawn]

You have to have extraordinary patience and (to?) make the ultimate sacrifice to achieve your goals.

To achieve your goals, you have to have extraordinary patience and (to?) make the ultimate sacrifice.




Are those two sentences correct English?

What ultimate sacrifice are you referring to?

 

[Odessa Dawn]

I do not mean "death," rather, I do mean this one:


[FONT=&quot]If you sacrifice something that is valuable or important, you give it up, usually to obtain something else for yourself or for other people.[/FONT]

[teechar]

You have to have extraordinary patience and [STRIKE](to?)[/STRIKE] (be prepared to) make [STRIKE]the ultimate[/STRIKE] (plenty of) sacrifices to achieve your goals.

I don't think "the ultimate sacrifice" means anything other than death in English. It's almost an idiom.
