Parable of the pencil
The Pencil Maker took the pencil aside ,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 piay.
"Two:You willexperience a painful sharpening from time to time ,but you will need it to become a better pencil.
"Three:You will be able to correct any mistakes you minght make.
"Four:The most important part of you will always be what is inside.
"And fve:On every surface you are used on,youmust 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 are willing to bring your talents into full piay And allow other people to access you for the many gifts you possess.
Two:You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time,by going through various probems in life,but you will need it to become a tronger person.
Three:You will be able to correct any mistakes you might make.
Four:The most important part of you will always be what is 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 of the pencil to encourage you to know that you are a special person and only you can fulfill the purpose you were born to accomplish.
Never allow yourself to get discouraged and think that your life is insignificant and cannot make a change.

It`s a wonderful parable. I believe we must become better,as long as we have worked hard.
