I Bargained With Life For A Penny…

One of my favorite quotes from Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill.

It comes from the chapter about Desire which is said to be the starting point for all achievement and the first step to riches.

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.

You can have anything you desire in life, but it won’t come easy.
