"The more I thought of the McClure offer the less I thought of it. So I told him last night I was satisfied where I was, and that the $75 he offered me was no inducement"

- Richard H. Davis

About this Quote

In this quote, Richard H. Davis is assessing a task offer he received from somebody called McClure. After thinking about the offer, Davis has actually chosen that it is not worth taking and has actually notified McClure of his decision. This quote suggests that Davis is content with his present task and that the salary offered by McClure was inadequate to attract him to leave his current position. It also suggests that Davis values his present task more than the deal from McClure, as he has actually chosen to remain in his existing function regardless of the potential for a higher wage. This quote highlights the value of task fulfillment and the value of staying in a task that one takes pleasure in, even if it indicates foregoing a greater wage.
