Candle Lights Another Candle
I heard an interesting thought few days ago, which I like.
I will try to paraphrase and share it.
It concerns a wealth – but not the wealth in sense of money or finance. It can be knowledge or mastery some sort of.
Many people live in the belief that I will not give away anything until I am sure I get something back.
Here is the interesting point:
If I give it away – to somebody, I still have it. -> Candle lights other candle principle.
So, If I teach you something and you learn that, I still know it. But not just that I know it – I am actually better off, since I learn how to teach you.
(I am sure many of us has this experience. 1st we learn something, we comprehend.
2nd when we want to explain it to somebody else – we realize that it is different thinking process. Yet this “new” thinking process has to be mastered as well. )
Have a great one
Mike

It is an awesome post and you are right on target with that because once we learn something we want to share it with someone else that makes common sense. Great job
Mike, how very beautiful said and so true.
Let's light the candles and share with eachother.
:-)
Nice thoughts, Mike, the share, share it is a good feeling.
