Proverbs

12/21/25

From Malayalam

Like gooseberry, the advice of elders is bitter first then sweet.

आंवले की तरह बड़ों की सलाह भी पहले कड़वी, फिर मीठी होती है।

നെല്ലിക്ക പോലെ മുതിർന്നവരുടെ ഉപദേശവും ആദ്യം കയ്പ്പും പിന്നെ മധുരവുമാണ്.

Necessity is the mother of invention.

“Necessity is the mother of invention” captures the idea that human creativity and innovation are often driven by urgent needs or pressing problems. When faced with challenges—be it survival, efficiency, or comfort—people are compelled to think outside the box and develop new tools, methods, or solutions. History is full of examples: the invention of the wheel to ease transportation, the creation of vaccines to combat deadly diseases, or the rise of digital communication to connect people across vast distances. In each case, necessity acted as a catalyst, pushing individuals and societies to adapt and evolve. This proverb reminds us that limitations and hardships, rather than being obstacles, can spark ingenuity and progress. “Necessity is the mother of invention” captures the idea that human creativity and innovation are often driven by urgent needs or pressing problems.
