Pencil

Parable of the pencil
The pencil Maker took the pencil aside, just before putting him into the box. “There are 5 things you need to know before I send you out into the world,” he told the pencil.
“Always remember these and never forget, and you will become the best pencil you can be.”

1. You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in Someone’s hand.
2. You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, but you’ll need it to become a better pencil.
3. You will be able to correct any mistakes you might make. The most important part of you will always be what’s inside.
4. On every surface you are used on , you must leave your mark.
5. No matter what the condition, you must continue to write.
