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.
In my opinion, I think both of these two views are right. As the saying goes: waste not,and want not, and the other one says:Industry is strange to poverty. Proverb is wit, proverb is full of wit. Those two proverbs just tell us the two aspects of the thing, one is that we should word hard, and the other is that we should economical, if we only work hard but we waste, then our efforts will equal to zero, rich will far away from us, on the contrary , if we are only economical, but we do not build our home with our two hands , we can still put ourselves into the pool situation.
