The Pencil Maker took the pencil aside, just
before putting him into the box. "There are 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
mistakes 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.
One: You will be able to do many great
things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in God's hand. And allow
other human beings to access you for the many gifts you possess.
Two: You will experience a painful sharpening
from time to time, by going through various problems in life, but you'll need
it to become a stronger person.
Three: You will be able to correct any
mistakes you might make.
Four: The most important part of you will
always be what's on the inside.
And Five: On every surface you walk through,
you must leave your mark. No matter what the situation, you must continue to do
your duties.
Allow this parable on the pencil to
encourage you to know that you are a special person and only you can fulfil the
purpose to which you were born to accomplish. Never allow yourself to get
discouraged and think that your life is insignificant and cannot make a change.
