What do you mean by candy and sticks? Carrots and sticks.

A method of combining kindness with prestige and combining hard and soft. Carrots (candy) represent interests, while sticks represent coercion and violence. When pulling goods with a donkey, the donkey driver will drop a radish in front of the donkey, so that the donkey will move forward very hard in order to eat the radish. When it wants to be lazy, the donkey driver will beat the donkey with a big stick. "Carrots and sticks" came from the second place.
