Anonymous Poem I found reading the book 'Think and grow rich', Inspiration for the direction-less.

"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."




Some personal commentary;

Those last four lines are my absolute favourites. POWERFUL. Might even turn out to be the secret of my success in a few years. What's a secret to success? The thing that keeps you going? It's already interesting, for the variety of answers you have.
