Dear Friends,
This poem titled “My Wage” is written by Jessie B. Rittenhouse. I came across this insightful poem while reading Think and Grow Rich!
Read it and share with me your thoughts below. 🙂
I bargained with Life for a penny,
And Life would pay no more,
However I begged at evening
When I counted my scanty store.
For Life is a just employer,
He gives you what you ask,
But once you have set the wages,
Why, you must bear the task.
I worked for a menial’s hire
Only to learn, dismayed,
That any wage I had asked of Life,
Life would have willingly paid.
P.S: Think and Grow Rich! by Napoleon Hill is actually available in the public domain as a downloadable ebook as well. Just do a Google search and you would be able to find it. 🙂
Finally, feel free to contribute to the discussion, I will personally read your comments and reply them. 🙂
