How a Tiny Candle Can Light Up Lives: An Inspirational Story to Brighten Your Day

I liked this story very much. Hope you will also enjoy.

A Candle

One evening, a man took a small candle from a box and began to climb a long, winding stairway. "Where are we going?" asked the candle. "We're going up higher than a house to show the ships the way to the harbor." "But no ship in the harbor could ever see my light," the candle said. "It is so very small." "If your light is small," the man said, "just keep on burning brightly and leave the rest to me." When they reached the top of the long stairs, they came to a large lamp. Then he took the little candle and lit the lamp. Soon, the large polished mirrors behind the lamp sent beams of light out across the miles of the sea.

We are God's candle. Our job is to keep on shining. The success of our work is in His hands. A tiny candle or match can start a forest fire. The little flame of your good example can actually change the lives of others without you knowing it. Be a light to them like the beacon light in the story that guided the ships to a safe harbor.

Can anyone provide me with samples of in-house magazines including various activities, literary contributions from employees and children? How can we make these interesting for employees?

Also, could you please provide me with an ESI PPT in Hindi for presentation to workers and ESI-covered staff, just for awareness.

Hi everyone,

The story has a very deep meaning. Simply liking or appreciating the story is not enough. Everyone, maybe a leader or manager, needs to take a lesson from the story that even the lowest rung employee of your organization has to play a vital role in the development of the organization as well as lending support or supplementing the role of even the top boss.

So, better try to recognize the potential of each of your subordinates, which we usually ignore, and respect him and his job for the betterment of your own role as well as the organization on the whole.

This is a beautiful story. It shows that it doesn't matter how small or insignificant you are; everybody is valuable in God's eyes.

For the giver, it might be small, but for the recipient, it will be big and bright. Whatever you give, provide the help without thinking it is tiny.

Thank you so much for that post. The candle reminds me of my leadership responsibility - it has to be visible so that others can benefit.

Even after burning, a candle gives light, "roshani," and hope to others. Let us commit to one thing: we should help others without expecting any return benefit for ourselves. Let's share knowledge.

Dear friends,

Can anyone send me a "Logistics Policy" prevailing in any of your organizations which will help me in framing one meaningfully? Since I am in charge of the Logistics Management of a large-scale Engineering company and am currently working on this policy. With the wonderful help and meaningful guidelines this site is providing through the intellectuals all around, I thought of making my efforts of framing the policy in a user-friendly and value-addition way. Hope to receive inputs from all of you, friends!
