Parable of the Pencil

The pencil maker took pencil aside, just before putting him into the box :

“There ate 5 things you need to know,” he told the pencil ,“ before I send you out into the world . Always remember them and never forget , and you will become the best pencil you can be . ”

“One : You will be able to do many great things , but only if you allow yourself to be held in someone’s hand . ”

“Two : You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time , but you’ll need it to become a better pencil . ”

“Three : You will be able to correct any mistake you might make . ”

“Four : The most important part of you will always be what’s inside . ”

“And five : On every surface you are used on , you must leave your mark . No matter what the condition , you must continue to write . ”

The pencil understood and promised to remember , and went into the box with purpose in its heart .

Now replacing the place of the pencil with you . Always remember them and never forget , and you will become the best person you can be .
