Teachings of a pencil


There are four things you need to know before you go into the world…

Remember these 4 things and you will be the best person you can be. First look at this pencil.

  1. We know that in order to make a pencil useful, it needs from time to time, again and again resharping. If this pencil could feel, we could imagine how painful that would be. But that is what it takes to become a useful pencil. Life is much the same. Painful experiences and challenges come to us all. But it is through these oppurtunities that we build charachter and we grow.
  2. Keep in mind that you are able to correct many of the mistakes you make along the way, like the pencil’s eraser. We learn from our mistakes. They are not mistakes, they are lessons we can use to be better the next time around.
  3. Every place you are used so to speak, you leave your mark. You’re writing your own story.
  4. the most useful part of you is inside.
