I Am a Medieval Mercenary Warrior!
Posted on Apr.30, 2009, under New Rich Thoughts
Hello everyone, my name is Sir Newrich. I was once a simple worker, like everyone else here in Normalvill. Every day I worked hard, to bring loaf of bread to the table at the end of the day. But deep in my heart, I knew I can do better than that. I always felt a strong craving for freedom, I wanted to travel, to explore, I wanted to find a treasure!
So one day, I did it. I left everything I knew and started exploring. Where I will find that treasure?
I traveled for days, I traveled for months. I wondered in the valleys and on the mountains. But treasure treasure, where are thee?
So I decided - until I will find my treasure, I will become a mercenary warrior! Yes this will be great! I will earn great money while still being free!
So I have found a master, that paid good money. At first it was great. A couple of hours each day I fought in fights that weren’t mine. But soon, the fights were bigger and much more dangerous. I wanted to continue my journey, looking for the treasure but I couldn’t. I was committed to my master. I fought every day, selling my time, selling my strength…
Is a freelancer is really so different than salaried employee?
It is different because you have the freedom of location. You can work from anywhere, it doesn’t matter if you work from home bare naked, or from the top of mountain Everest (if you have internet connection there). This is really great.
But it is the same, because you are still working for someone else and not for yourself!
Soon I will finish the job with my current master, then I will be free to continue my amazing journey to the treasure…
Farewell,
Sir Newrich.
