"یک کتاب عالی برابر با صد دوست خوب است اما یک دوست خوب برابر با یک کتابخانه."
— A. P. J. Abdul Kalam
Simplified Meaning:
Reading a great book can give you a lot of knowledge and joy, just like having many good friends can make you happy and wise. However, having one true friend is even better than having a whole library of books. This friend can offer support, understanding, and companionship in ways that books can't. Take, for example, someone who loves reading and has many books on their shelf. Each book is valuable and teaches them something new, but when they feel really down or need personal advice, these books cannot respond. Now imagine having a friend who knows you well and who you trust. This friend can cheer you up when you're sad, offer advice for personal problems, and share real-life experiences. So, while books are wonderful for learning and enjoyment, a single, true friend provides emotional support and understanding that nothing else can match. To apply this idea to your life, cherish and invest time in people who care about you deeply. They are invaluable and offer a kind of support and joy that even the best book cannot provide.
