To earn more money, you must add more value to the world through your work. The compensation you receive depends not on how long or hard you work, but on how much value you provide. A brain surgeon earns much more than a fast food employee because their specialized skills and knowledge are rarer and therefore perceived as more valuable by the marketplace. To increase your worth, you should acquire unique skills, knowledge, and perspectives by reading different books and thinking different thoughts than others.
