waste not, want not
When talking about frugality and industry, different people will have different views. Some people think that we should be ecomomical, however, others believe that industry is more important.
Those people who have the latter preference believe that not matter how we weast, if we work hard, we will be rich. The others people who hold the former think if we don't waste things, then , we are not short of things.
