“We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.”
— Winston Churchill

Simplified Meaning:
Earning money helps us cover our basic needs like food, shelter, and clothing. These are the things we 'get.' However, true happiness and fulfillment come from what we give to others. This can mean our time, attention, kindness, or support. For example, consider teachers. They earn a salary which helps them live, but it's the knowledge and encouragement they give their students that makes their work meaningful. Helping a neighbor, volunteering, or simply being there for a friend when they need support can make our lives richer and more rewarding. Giving to others creates deeper connections and a sense of purpose that goes beyond just earning money.
