"Do you have a Pencil Quality?"
An old pencil maker took
his newest pencil aside,
just before he was about to
pack him into a box.
Imagining the little fellow as a person
he recalled a few things about the pencil.
“There are five things you need to know,”
he said to his pencil,
“before I send you out into the world.
Always remember these five things
- never forget them -
and you will become the best pencil you can be!
1) “The first thing is to remember
that you will be able
to do many great things,
but only if you put yourself
in someone else’s hands.
2)“From time to time you
will experience a painful sharpening,
but remember that this will
make you a better pencil.
3)“Also, keep in mind that you
will be able to correct any mistakes
you might make along the way.
4)“And the most important part of you
is what’s on the inside.
5)“And remember this, as well,
upon every surface that you are used,
you must leave your mark.
No matter what else happens,
you must continue to write.”
6)It seemed the pencil listened to him
and promised he would remember these
five things so that he could live
his life with heart and purpose.
