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 experience a painful sharpening from time to time, but DO NOT resist it, for you'll need it
to become a better pencil.
TWO: On every surface you are used on, you must leave your mark. No matter what the conditions are like, you MUST continue to write.
THREE: You HAVE the power to correct any mistakes you might make, so don't hesitate.
FOUR: The most important part of you will always be what's INSIDE.
FIVE: You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in Someone's hand and be guided by them."
And so, the pencil understood and promised to remember,
and went into the box with purpose in its heart.
........
Now, put yourself in the position of the pencil.
Always remember them and never forget, and you will become the best person you can be.
One: You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, but persevere through it. It hurts going through various problems in life, but you'll need it to become a stronger person.
Two: On every surface you walk through, you must leave your mark. No matter what the situation, you must continue to do your duties.
Three: You have the ability to correct any mistakes you might make, so do it.
Four: The most important part of you will always be what's on the inside.
Five: 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.
Dear friends, allow this story to encourage you to know that you are a special person and only you can fulfill the purpose to which you were born to accomplish. Never allow yourself to get discouraged and think that your life is insignificant or that you cannot make a change. You know what? you CAN.=)
