To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
That's the question we ask today; Is it efficient, without a blur? If so, you have earned your pay. It's the way that you worked today, Will tell us who your are; Whether you loafed your time away, Or dreamily followed a star; Whether you grasped the task in hand, With firm endeavor to see it through, And whether you thoroughly understand Just what it meant to you. Whether you thought it only a bluff That required no thought or style; Whether you laughed at the sort of stuff That your boss pass...ed out the while. Did you try to evade your job? Then you'll never amount to much; Whatever you think of Charlie Schwab, Of Andrew Carnegie, and all such. Today did you trust to luck? Were you heedless, too, as well? Or did you supply the essential pluck That was needed of you to tell? Were your thoughts on the clock, today? Were you careless about your job? Seeking always the easiest way And shirking your work like a "slob." Success is a siren who leads you on, From lowly plain to lofty height; If you do your part, nor pause anon, To toy with luck, nor cease to fight.
