Make a dime a hammer. Tell me what to say in the future.

I would rather work hard for a while than for a lifetime. Earned a dime and a hammer. I will say in the future: I would rather work hard for a while than work hard all my life. The word "earn": the hand on the left and the struggle on the right means to work hard with your own hands. "Making money" means selling skills or resources with your own hands in exchange for wages.
