What are your benchmarks?
Are you happily settled for less?

English Inspirational Poem | My Wage | Jessie B. Rittenhouse

My Wage by Jessie B. Rittenhouse
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 paid.

Jessie B. Rittenhouse (1869 – 1948)
Recited by Simerjeet Singh

So yes, think big and aim high.
Never Settle For Less!
(As quoted in Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill, 1960, p. 40.)
