The Parable of the Pencil



The Pencil Maker took the pencil aside, just before putting him 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 held in Someone's hand."

"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: On every surface you are used on, you must 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 pencil. 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 allow yourself
to be held in God's hand. And allow other human beings to access you for
the many gifts you possess.

Two: You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, by going
through various problems in life, but you'll need it to become a stronger
person.

Three: You will be able to correct any mistakes you might make.

Four: The most important part of you will always be what's 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.


"When you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing; when you see that money is flowing to those who deal not in goods, but in favors; when you see that men get rich more easily by graft than by work, and your laws no longer protect you against them, but protect them against you… you may know that your society is doomed."
–Ayn Rand, novelist & philosopher, author of Atlas Shrugged
