Summary

This quote suggests that there are two ways to bring positivity, knowledge, and inspiration into the world. One is by being the source of light, like a candle, where you actively share your wisdom and contribute to others' well-being. The other way is to reflect the light that is already present, like a mirror, by taking in and amplifying the positivity and wisdom that others bring. It highlights that both being a source of knowledge and reflecting the wisdom of others can have a considerable impact on spreading light and making the world a better place.
