Wisdom Quote: Spreading Joy

Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle,

and the life of the candle will not be not be shortened.

Commentary:

We are like candles with limited energy and time in our lives. The most meaningful and joyful pursuit is to use our fire to light other candles, to leave a positive impact on all the other candles around us.

Example:

Giving words of affirmation, encouragement, or appreciation to the people around us. When people feel supported and valued, they will treat others with support and value.
