Question

The Pencil Maker held the pencil, just before putting it 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 put into play.

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: You must leave your mark when you walk through. No matter what you are you must carry on your duty.”

The pencil understood and went into the box with his confidence in his heart.

Try to imagine you are the pencil. Always remember them and never forget five things, and you will become the best person.

Allow the fable (a short story that teaches a lesson) of the pencil to encourage you to know that you are a special person and only you can be successful.
