Thought for the Day- Inspirational

I saw this quote in a book that I'm reading "Think and Grow Rich" -

A great book to read, a true classic!

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!
