As a saying goes, "A penny saved is a penny earned". Saving money in our piggy bank is almost same as earning it because it will still be in our pocket. Only if we have perseverance in saving, we will for sure accumulate more than what we have expected.
Days before, i read an article about the concept of money to celebrities. Bill Gates is the co-founder of Microsoft which is the world largest PC software company. He is the richest man in the world whom net worth is 79.2 billion dollar. However, he never squander his money. There's once, Mr. Gates went to Hilton Hotel for a meeting with his friend. Unfortunately, there was no more parking. His friend suggested to park the car in the parking lot for VIP which charge 12 dollars. Mr. Gates refused even his friend volunteered to pay for it because he did not think that it is worth to spend that 12 dollars. Lastly, they still able to find a space to park their car.
We might think that, 12 dollars are just a tiny part of his wealth, why should he acts like this? As a entrepreneur, he profoundly understand that we should not waste on what is not worth for, even a single cent. He has taught us the virtue that we should always save for a rainy day and makes us realize what 'many a little makes mickle' means.
