5 important lessons to learn from the humble pencil

 

It tells you that:

 

1     Anything you do will always leave a mark

2      However, you can always correct a mistake

5        Finally, to be the best you can be, you must allow yourself to be held and guided by the hand that holds you – your parents, your teacher, your mentor or your instuition.

 

 

CONVERSATION B/W PENCIL AND ERASER   Pencil: I'm sorry Eraser: For what? You didn't do anything wrong.   Pencil: I'm sorry because you get hurt because of me. Whenever I made a mistake, you're always there to erase it. But as you make my mistakes vanish, you lose a part of yourself. You get smaller and smaller each time.   Eraser: That's true. But I don't really mind. You see, I was made to do this. I was made to help you whenever you do something wrong. Even though one day, I know I'll be gone and you'll replace me with a new one, I'm actually happy with my job. So please, stop worrying. I hate seeing you sad.   I found this conversation between the pencil and the eraser very inspirational. Parents are like the eraser whereas their children are the pencil. They're always there for their children, cleaning up their mistakes. Sometimes along the way, they get hurt, and become smaller / older, and eventually pass on. Though their children will eventually find someone new (spouse), but parents are still happy with what they do for their children, and will always hate seeing their precious ones worrying, or sad.   All my life, I've been the pencil. And it pains me to see the eraser that is my parents getting smaller and smaller each day. For I know that one day, all that I'm left with would be eraser shavings and memories of what I used to have.    ARE U PENCIL OR ERASER? PLAYING THE RIGHT ROLE WITH UNDERSTANDING, WITH RESPECT AND WITH GIVE AND TAKE POLICY, WHATEVER OR WHOMSOEVER YOU MAY BE OR WHATEVER THE GIVEN ROLE YOU MAY BE PLAYING OR ENACTING IN LIFE,  IS WHAT IS VERY IMPORTANT. BOTH ARE GREAT INDIVIDUALLY AND COLLECTIVELY AS A TEAM (TOGETHER EVERYONE ACHIEVES MORE) SUCCESS AND HAPPINESS ARE GUARANTEED AND “HAPPINESS IS HEALTH”
