Gardener Wants More Money

Thursday November 6

Jayne went on the FedEx website to see where her package is and found out that it’s still in Guayaquil. This is another large city in Ecuador where many planes fly to first.

FedEx is really a slow service as it has taken a couple of weeks for a package to come from England.

The workers came, as usual today. My gardener came, too.

I had some words with my gardener as he wants more for cutting the grass. He said that the cost of the nylon wire for the weed cutter costs more and for this he wants $10 more! He already gets much more per hour than construction workers. I told him no. so he cut the grass for the same price.

I’m about to let him go and cut the grass myself. I would have to buy a lawnmower but it would pay for itself in a couple of months.

People are poor because they do things that make them poor and they don’t even realize it. Many don’t want to learn. If people don’t like being poor they should change. You get the results by the way you work and think.
