Confucius PossiblyBetter light a candle than curse the darkness.
About This Quote
When you have a problem that you don’t know how to solve, light a candle and let it burn. This is an old proverb, and there are many different versions of the story behind it. What all of them have in common is that they tell us that we can sometimes use our problems for good. Sometime we need to look at what we have and how we can use it to solve a problem.
For instance, when you feel like your life isn’t going in the right direction, instead of taking drugs or lashing out against the world, look at what you have and use it to make things better. You can use your problems for good when you take control of your life and make changes to help yourself and others around you. So light the candle and make a change to make your life better!
