Hippopotamuses are known to feed only on vegetables, but they still grow big and strong. They grow stronger to the extent that even the lions who eat meat are always afraid to attack them.
In life, the amount that you earn is not what makes you. Rather, it is what you do with the money that you earn that really matters. If you can properly manage the little you earn, you can elevate yourself to a point when you become financially free. Just like the hippo eating vegetables and are still stronger than animals that eat meat, you can also be richer than those who earn more than you.
Think about investments. The only way you can multiply your money through investments. Put you money on stock market that has potentials. Discover and invest in technologies that can explode in the future. Start that business that is not rampant in your area and start making money for yourself.
Also devote your time in reading books that is related to finance. Read business insider, financial times, the economists and also books written by great men and watch yourself grow.
Remember a small investor has more potential of becoming rich than a salary earner who is earning hugely.
