"Nothing has more strength than dire necessity."
Euripides (BC 480-BC 406) Greek tragic poet
Okay, but what is "necessity"?
The next time you find yourself lobbying for "necessary" resources, put yourself in the place of the person who must decide whether or not you will get them.
There's only so much to go around, which is often much less than what is requested.
Maybe you can make do with what you have.
