“A day wasted on others is not wasted on one's self”
— Charles Dickens

Simplified Meaning:
When you spend time helping other people, you aren't losing anything; instead, you're gaining something valuable for yourself too. Imagine you see someone struggling with their groceries, and you decide to help carry their bags. The act of assisting them might make their day easier and make you feel really good inside. People often think that the time used to help others could be used for personal tasks. However, by helping others, you grow as a person, build stronger relationships, and sometimes even learn something new. This idea teaches us that doing good for others also brings positive feelings and experiences to our own lives. So, it's always worth it to lend a hand whenever you can – both for them and for you.
