The Pencil Maker took the pencil aside, just before putting it into the box. There are five 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.
[1] You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in Someone’s hand.
[2] You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, but you’ll need it to become a better pencil.
[3] You will be able to correct mistakes you will make.
[4] The most important part of you will always be what’s inside.
[5] On every surface you are used on, you must leave your mark. No matter what the condition, you must continue to write.
