African Proverb

"Knowledge is better than riches"
What does that African Proverb mean to you? How can it be used in your everyday life? Give an example

That African Proverb means if you have a good knowledge and know a lot about what your good at, you wont have no problem trying to get the job you want. However there are a lot of people in this world that wish they can have a lot of money, but if you have the brains and do what's right, by going to college and graduating, you will have so much more jobs to apply for, other than a person that didn't go to college and graduate. Therefore,, I believethat knowledge is better than riches because in this time period, you can't always have what you want, but if your smart and go for what you've worked for, you will have the money you deserved. Also, that Proverb can be used in my everyday life because it will help me, and make me think. For instance, if I'm feeling down one day, all I can do is think about the quote, and that will help me strive for what I want to work for I will be able to get the money I need. I feel that if you don't work hard enough in school or college, than you won't be able to get a good job or the money.
