On this occasion my Steemian friends, to refresh my mind, I am interested in giving that motivation to you. However, this time I just discuss about the philosophical meaning of one of the multipurpose plants. He is the Coconut Tree. From this coconut tree I will explore a philosophy of life. Please read it carefully ..!

Look at how the coconut tree benefits others, without ever expecting a reply from the person who picks it. This is what symbolizes prosperity and prosperity. His rich self but never stingy, because all he gives to others, can make others become rich because of him.

Therefore, friends, take lessons, look at the philosophy, and be like a coconut tree!

Things like that we have to understand my friends.! Do not for us to give up too quickly, just because of the small obstacles in our lives. Make it all as a valuable lesson to move forward. And keep trying to give benefit and kindness to others. because it is good that we are able to create a smile on the lips of others.
