<human>:  Can you explain to me the meaning of the quote “Ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country”?
<bot>: The quote is attributed to John F. Kennedy in his inaugural address and its meaning is that instead of thinking of what you can gain by being part of a country, the individual should focus on their own role in contributing to a country’s success. The phrase implies that individuals should be proactive in giving back to their nation and serving the collective.
