“Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago”

Warren Buffett

Simplified Meaning:

When we enjoy something nice today, it's often because of work or actions done by people in the past. Imagine sitting under a cool tree on a hot day. That tree didn't grow overnight. It was planted a long time ago, and over many years, it grew big and strong. Just like that tree, many good things in life take time to develop. For example, a library in your town means that a community invested in education many years before. Those actions made things better for people today. You can use this idea in your own life by thinking about the future. When you do something good now, like studying hard or helping others, your actions can bring benefits to people later on, including yourself. Even small efforts can grow into something wonderful over time.
