Simplified Meaning:

If you don't have anything to offer, you can't convince others to follow you or help you. Imagine trying to catch a bird without any food; the bird won't come to you because you have nothing it wants. This idea can be applied to many areas of life. For example, if you want to persuade someone to assist you at work, you might offer to help them with their tasks first. Similarly, in friendships, showing kindness and support will likely make others more willing to be there for you when you need them. The main point is that you need to give something to get something in return.
