Simplified Meaning:

Before you can receive something, you often need to offer something first. Think about how friendships work; if you want a friend to help you, you usually need to be helpful and kind to them first. This idea is similar in many areas of life. For example, when learning a new skill, you need to put in time and effort before you become good at it and enjoy the benefits. It's like planting a seed: you have to water it and take care of it before you can harvest the fruit. In everyday life, this advice can mean that you should be generous and give support or kindness to others if you hope for them to do the same for you. By understanding and following this idea, you create strong, positive relationships and increase your chances of success and happiness.
