# Value from My Dearest Sister (Four Candles)

This time I want to talk about my sister. She is the eldest child from my family. Growing up with her two younger brothers (I am the youngest one and I have a big brother) made her had to show that she is counted as a leader for her two younger brother. With her basic personality as a dominant choleric and combined with sanguine she proved that she could lead herself and her brothers. (This book help me so much to understanding people personality; Here is the review)

She is a very teachable and open minded woman. I remember she said that “Life isn’t just wake up, eat, work and then go to sleep.” “If you want to be big, don’t sweat small stuff in your life.” “See the big picture, always see the biggest one so whatever you lose now is just a small thing.” “Big people never let whatever happen now stops their foot steps to reach their goal.” I’ve learned a lot of thing from her but she never stops improving herself so I never graduated too.

Last week she sent me an email with “Bahasa”. The email is telling the story about “Four Candles”. The mail is so inspiring and after read that, I promise to my self I have to put it on my blog and share it to another one. But I have to put it with English. Then I start to search the “Four Candles” story with Google and I’ve got this inspiring clip from this site. Lets us enjoy this one together.

The Story of the four candles - The funniest home videos are here

The Four Candles burned slowly.
Their ambiance was so soft you could hear them speak...

The first candle said, "I Am Peace, but these days, nobody wants to keep me lit."
Then Peace's flame slowly diminished and went out completely.

The second candle said, "I Am Faith, but these days, I am no longer indispensable."
Then Faith's flame slowly diminished and went out completely.

Sadly the third candle spoke, "I Am Love and I haven't the strength to stay lit any longer."
"People put me aside and don't understand my importance.

They even forget to love those who are nearest to them."
And waiting no longer, Love went out completely.

Suddenly...

A child entered the room and saw the three candles no longer burning.
The child began to cry,

"Why are you not burning? You are supposed to stay lit until the end."

Then the Fourth Candle spoke gently to the little boy,

“Don't be afraid, for I Am Hope, and while I still burn, we can re-light the other candles." With shining eyes, the child took the Candle of Hope and lit the other three candles.

Never let the Flame of Hope go out. With Hope in your life, no matter how bad things may be, Peace, Faith and Love may shine brightly once again.

So my biggest hope is this one could be a value to the other Readers. And from the deepest I want to say my thanks to my dearest Sister. Hope she read this little write and wishing she never stop improving herself and people around her. In my next write I will try to share more value which I got from the people around me. I fully believe that every person in this world have even a little part inside him/her to inspiring each other.
