“If you would take, you must first give, this is the beginning of intelligence.”
— Laozi

Simplified Meaning:
To get something, you often need to give something first. Think about friendships: if you want friends to support you, you need to show them kindness and be there for them, too. Just like planting seeds in a garden, you can expect fruits only if you take care to plant and nurture those seeds. In business, a company might offer free samples or great customer service to gain loyal customers. Consider sharing knowledge at work; if you help your colleagues, they are more likely to help you in return. This approach shows smart thinking because it creates a better, more cooperative environment for everyone.
