What is the difference between "investment" and "sacrifice"?

In your February 26, 2012 webcast, you indicated that you don't regard sacrifices as something very different from investments. But doesn't sacrifice just mean giving up something? In that case, don't investments in the future require sacrifice now? Or: What's the difference between sacrificing some ease and comfort for your goal versus investing time and work to achieve a goal?

The issue here is with how "sacrifice" is defined, which is something that has been addressed on the show many times.
