“Allegory of the Pencil”

• A pencil maker once told the pencil 5 lessons:


1. In everything you do, you will always leave a mark. You will always be remembered especially if you have done good things to others. “Failure leaves a lesson and winning leaves us a mark”. Everything you do gives you a lesson to remember in this wheel of life.

2. You can always correct the mistakes you make. Everyone is capable of committing a mistake. So don’t be afraid of corrections. It will change you for the better. Just use the best eraser and continue to write again. After all, no ones perfect.

3. What is important is what is inside. Being beautiful physically is worthless if you do not have the heart. Good personality from within is far greater than physical appearance. Like a pencil it is better to use those with quality rather than those who have the best style but break easily. You will stand out from everyone if good personality, knowledge, strength, hope and faith are in you.

4. In life you will undergo painful sharpening which will make you a better pencil. Terrible experiences are always there as long as we continue to breathe. Never lose hope for that experience will be your weapon in striving more in the future. It will make you stronger and more responsible in the next problem waiting for you.

5. And the most important is to be the most pencil you can be, you must allow yourself to be held and guided by the hand that hold you. Strike not for perfection but for excellence. Be the best in your own way.


Remember: “Life is a constant struggle and a continuous quest for happiness.”
