The parable of the pencil

The pencil maker took the pencil aside,just before putting him into the box. "there are five things you need to know , Always remember them and never forget, and you will become the best pencil you can be."

will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in someone's hand."

你能做出許多偉大的事情,可是前提是你必須允許別人用手握住你.引申到人就是必須得服從上帝的掌控,並允許他人有所目的的接近你.

will experience a painful sharpening from time to time,but you need it to become a better pencil."

你會體驗削尖時的痛楚,但這種經歷會讓你變得更優秀...人是需要艱難險阻和體驗各種痛苦的,這樣才能變得更堅強.

will be able to correct any mistakes you might make."

要能 改正任何自己可能犯下的錯誤....

most important part of you will always be what's inside.

內芯是你最重要的部分...人的內在品質是最大的財富.

every surface you are used on , you must leave your mark. No matter what the condition, you must continue to write."

必須在任何一個被使用的表面留下痕跡,不論在何種情況下,你都得寫下去...做爲人來說,必須在任何所過之地,留下足跡,都必須盡職盡責,完成自己的工作....

The pencil understood and promised to remember,and went into the box with purpose in its heart.

Allow this parable on the pencil to encourage you to know that you are a special person and only you can fulfill the purpose to which you were born to accomplish.

Never allow yourself to get discouraged and think that your life is insignificant and can not make a change.
