What it means
Someone once gave you a small start — a lesson, a chance, a meal. Gratitude means repaying it many times over, for a lifetime, and gladly. Small kindnesses received should grow into large kindnesses given.हिंदी में अर्थ
नारियल के पेड़ बचपन में पिए थोड़े से पानी को याद रखकर, सिर पर बोझ उठाए जीवन भर लोगों को मीठा जल देते हैं। सज्जन किया गया उपकार कभी नहीं भूलते।
किसी ने कभी आपको छोटी-सी शुरुआत दी — एक सीख, एक मौका, एक भोजन। कृतज्ञता का अर्थ है उसे जीवन भर कई गुना लौटाना, और वह भी खुशी से।
