If a candle has to light the world, then it has to lose itself. Sacrificing its own body to illuminate the world is not an option for the melting candle which has tons of light, comfort, realization and guidance for millions of aspiring achievers to glow and roar success.

Even if every single source of water at home has got dried up, you shall walk out of your house and search for what you want. You would subconsciously bounce out of your comfort zone.
