Be A Pencil
A boy was watching his
grandmother write a letter. At one point he
asked: " Are you writing a story about what
we've done? Is it a story about me ?"
His grandmother stopped writing
her letter & said to her grandson:
"I am writing about you,
actually, but more important than the words is
the pencil I'm using. I hope you will be like
this pencil when you grow up"
Intrigued, the boy looked at the
pencil. It did'nt seem very special.
" But it's like any other pencil
I've seen! "
" That depends on how you look at
things. It has five qualities
which, if you manage to hang on to them, will
make you the person who is always at peace with
himself & the world.
First quality :
you are capable of great things, but you must
never forget that there is a hand guiding your
steps. We call that hand God, & He always guides
us according to His will.
Second quality :
now & then, I have to stop writing & use a
sharpener. That makes the pencil suffer a
little, but afterwards he's much sharper. So
you, too, must learn to bear certain pains &
sorrows, because they will make you a better
person.
Third quality :
the pencil always allows us to use an eraser to
rub out any mistakes. This means correcting
something we did is not necessarily a bad thing;
it helps to keep us on the road to justice.
Fourth quality :
what really matters in a pencil is not its
wooden exterior, but the graphite inside. So
always pay attention to what is happening inside
you.
Finally, the pencil's
fifth quality : it always leaves a
mark. In just the same way, you should know that
in everything you do in life will leave a mark,
so be conscious of that in every action of
yours. "
I want u 2 b like a Pencil :
Which--Knows he is Guided by GOD; Bears pain 2 b
SHARPER; Ready 2 CORRECT mistakes; B attentive
from INSIDE(SELF); CONSCIOUSLY leave a MARK in
ur LIFE.
