It may end up that you’re not friends with those people anymore, but you’ll make new friends that share your values.

There’s a way to do it better – find it! – Thomas Edison

Of course the guy that invented the lightbulb can find a better way. His message is true though. Just because we feel the task may be too daunting, doesn’t mean it will be. Sometimes when you begin the work that must be done, you find a shortcut.
