The Pencil Story

The Pencil Maker took the pencil aside and just before putting it into the box, He said: "There are five things you need to know before I send you out into the world. Always remember them and never forget the lesson, and you will become the best pencil you can ever 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: Even if your tip is broken off, the most important part of you will always be what's inside.

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.

Put yourself in the place of the pencil. Allow this parable to remind you that you are a special person, and only you can fulfill the purpose which you were born to accomplish.

                                 

“Never allow yourself to get discouraged and believe that your life is Insignificant and that you cannot make a difference.”

Make it a great use! ****
