“It is better to light a candle than curse the darkness”
— Eleanor Roosevelt

Simplified Meaning:
Instead of complaining about a problem, take action to improve the situation. Imagine you’re in a dark room and can’t see anything. Rather than just whining about how dark it is, you could light a candle to make it brighter. This means putting effort into finding a solution is more useful than just being upset about what's wrong. For instance, if you’re struggling with a difficult subject in school, instead of just complaining about how hard it is, you can spend time studying or asking for help. This way, you're doing something positive to change your situation. So, in any challenging moment, think about what small steps you can take to make things better.
