"I’d do a better job if they’d pay me more."

"I’d treat my wife better if she were nicer to me."

That’s not how it works.  If you say to the fireplace, "Give me some heat…and I’ll gladly put some firewood in," …you can see how ridiculous this sounds.

To be better paid; better appreciated; better thought of…give, first.

The rewards come later.
