A boy was watching his grandmother write a letter. At one point he asked: 'Are you writing a story about What we have done? Is it a story about me?'.
His grandmother stopped writing her lettere and said to her grandson:
"I am writing about you, actually, more important than the the words is the pencil I am using. I hope you will be like the this pencil when you grow up".
Intrigued, the boy looked at the pencil. It did not seem very special.
'But it is just like any other pencil I have ever seen'.
That depends on how you look at things. It has 5 qualities which, if you manage to hang on to them, will make you a person who is always at peace with the world.
1st Quality
You are capable of great things but you must never forget that there there is a hand guiding your way. We call that hand God, and he always guides us according to his will.
2nd Quality
Now and then I have to stop writing and use a sharpner. That makes the pencil suffer a little, but afterwards, he is much sharper. So you, too , must learn to bear certain pains and sorrows, because they will make you a better person.
3rd Quality :
The pencil always allows us to use an eraser to rub out any mistakes. This means that correcting something we did is not necessarily a bad thing; it helps us to keep us on the road to justice.
4th Quality
What really matters in a pencil is not the its wooden exterior, but the graphite inside. So always pay attention to what is happening inside you.
5th Quality
It always leaves a mark. In just the same way, you should know that everything you do in life will leave a mark, so try to be concious of that in you every action.
